Our beloved pets grow so fast, faster than we ever realize. The best thing about it is they don’t realize it themselves. These big pets still think they’re lapdogs to lap-cats, which makes them all the more adorable.
Despite their size, they’re pretty needy and most of the time they don’t respect their owner’s personal space. It just makes you want to love them more. Here are 50 pets who don’t realize how big they are but still want to be treated as their owner’s babies.
1. Occupying the whole couch
Leonberger dogs are big enough already. However, for a 7-month old Leonberger, you have to admit that he’s a little too big. He’s almost as big as this 3-person couch.

2. Judging from a height
There’s a reason why Great Danes have “great” in their names. They get pretty big for a large dog breed. Well, here’s Benji, and he’s using his large stature to judge his neighbors from his height.

3. Adorable wolfdog
The new neighbor’s dog took the initiative to make friends with everyone. He looks so friendly and cuddly, that anyone would want to pet him. His name is Mowgli, but it seems to me that he’s the one who adopted him.

4. Need a bigger bed
Apparently, a king-sized bed is not enough for these dogs. They’re just too big that the only place their owner has at night is the living room couch. Maybe they need to buy another king-sized bed and scooch them together.

5. Bubble-head doggo
This dog’s quite the big boy himself, but he remains a lapdog. Doesn’t his head look a bit too big? Perhaps it’s the camera angle that makes it look like his head’s zoomed in.

6. Gentle giants
Though they have quite an intimidating size, Irish Wolfhounds make great pets. They’re sweet and gentle, and especially great if you can get them outside for exercises. If you’re a fairly active person, you’d find these big dogs an enjoyable company.

When cats lie with their bellies, I suggest you not touch that particular area. It’s a trap and a painful one at that. Although, this bigger belly rub trap sure is tempting, huh?

10. The sit-on-your-keyboard type
It’s one thing when your cat sits on your computer’s keyboard, but a cat as big as this? The keyboard is even gone out of sight. Perhaps the mouse and the mousepad’s underneath him too.
