There are usually unspoken rules between pets and humans when it comes to living together under one roof. Some of those rules are more firm than others. And sometimes the rules are initiated by the pets themselves.
Then there are the special cases when a dog or a cat live life by their own rules. We’ve collected some of the more hilarious examples of such rebel rule breakers. We’ve got your above average house pet rebellions and some interesting developments from the animal kingdom, especially the seagull anti-establishment community.
You might not see their protests flags waving, but when they go about breaking rules or setting up their own laws, it sure can cause a stir and quite a few laughs.
1. When Pigs Fly… With Cats on Their Backs
When they became best friends, this cat and pig thumbed their noses at the world and its rules. They don’t care what other people think and that’s real love.
2. Flipping the Bird at the Establishment
This pigeon will not listen to your signs. She won’t clip her wings nor live by your rules. Can we all hear her rebel squawk?
This goat doesn’t believe in rules. He’s climbed to the highest heights in order to refuse his acceptance of this sign. He’s looking at us saying, “Just try and bring me down.”
4. Stay Off The Keyboard!
You’ve told that cat time and time again, not to sit on your keyboard. This is a serious personal boundary. Well, at least this time she listened to you.
5. You Give and You Give…
Your cat is so demanding, you give her everything she asks and it’s never good enough. She has required not just one bed, but two. And this is what you get in return!
Words were not enough. You had to get a specially made pillow to instruct your pooch not to sit on the couch. I guess you can’t blame him for not being a “reader.”
Cuteness can only get you so far. It’s the crafty ones who take it to the edge. This rebelous pup is on that razor thin line right here.
We’re gonna side with this rebellious freedom fighter. Who doesn’t allow dogs? What kind of world would we live in with0ut our canine companions?
9. Take This Sign and Shove It!
Seriously, what kind of world would we live in without man’s best friend? This dog is barking, “Freedom!” We should all join the march (And be sure to clean up after your dog, especially when it’s on my lawn. Can you please return that sign after the march?)
10. This Kibble Has Got To Go!
Trying out a bargain brand of cat food? Not in this cat house. Only the best for miss priss.
11. Down With The Oligarchy
We’ve found a meme that has been floating through the seagull population. It supposedly shows proof that only a few are in control of the whole institution. The masses are not happy.
This rebel is making a stand. Put down your pens, turn off your computers and go outside and play. Join this pup in playing a game of catch!
When the owners of this cat tried to head off some of it’s more negative behaviors, the cat took things into his own paws. Destroying the sign that carried the warning was only the first step.
This dog is riding that fine line. I guess it depends on how you see it and what side you’re on. We would never support a sign that says, “No Dogs!”
15. You Say Tomato, I say Potato
When given a choice between a cup or a bowl, this cat makes the odd choice to go with the cup. Though we’re not sure the choice was given in this situation. But, know that when that cup runneth over, this cat will be to blame.
This ducks is on his own, bucking the system as any good duck should. You say no animals, he says Quack!
17. It’s Hot, Leave Me Alone
No swimming in the fountains, eh? Isn’t this a public park? Isn’t this a public fountain? Am I not a member of the public!?
18. This Is The Way We Prefer It
These two cats have specific bowls that belong to only them. So when the bowls get mixed up with where they want to sit, they make do. You should see them with their “special spots” in the cat box.

I’m sorry but I must insist that my leg goes wherever it needs to go. And right now it could care less about the “work” you think you are doing. My leg doesn’t work for anyone.
You simply must try cat litter sprinkles in your coffee. They come from a very special region of the house and have been seasoned by the best cat in the world.
She was plucked from obscurity by a Lined June Bugs colony. She was trained in the fine arts as well as the martial arts, and her communication skills are of the highest order. First contact with humans is a success.
24. The Rebellion Continues
As we’ve seen previously, a group of rogue seagulls are rising up against the establishment. This piece of evidence might be of interest to humans. The seagull oppressor will go to every length to keep their power.
I was on an extended leave of absence. Things were getting a little too normal around here, with these stay at home orders and all. So I roamed the world and saw the sights and now I forgot how to get back home. I’m hoping my owners see the signs.
26. To You It’s Just A Flat of Eggs
Silly humans only see what they want to see. This cat is different, when you see eggs she sees an ergonomic sleeping pad.
27. Not Allowed On The Table?
The smart ones always find a way to skirt around the rules. When roadblocks hinder the joy in our lives it’s time to find a different route.
This dog displays some great acrobatic and balancing skills to avoid the dreaded bathtime. You might think he needs a bath, but he might think he’s going to join Cirque du Soleil.
You think you found a lovely doll house for your daughter. Well, your cat has differing plans. I guess we all knew that cats were “different.”

2021 Will be their year. This Seagull rising is really picking up steam. Protests have been seen all over the seaside.

This cat broke out when her human locked the little cat door. I guess she didn’t realize the evidence would be “shed” all over the broken door.

Sometimes things backfire when your cat decides to break the laws of nature. Then they come screaming back to their humans wanting us to fix everything they’ve broken.
This escape artist knows that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Her captors thought they had all the bases covered as they transferred the prisoner to the medical facility. She is currently on the run and considered clawed and fuzzy.
35. Leaving Their Stamp On Things
Your cat just wants to be productive. She’s studying at night for her culinary degree, and she’s also really smart when it comes to branding. These cat stamped pies will sell like hotcakes.
36. Duck, Duck, Flamingo?
This little duck never felt quite right amongst other ducks. He left the nest and the other ducklings to set out and find his place in the world. And he’s never felt better.
We didn’t know that when a raccoon needs to cross a stretch of water it can swim or gator. Some sort of pact was made between these two, and we hope it’s lasting. We wouldn’t want to see that poor gator end up on the wrong side of a raccoon.
Bet you didn’t know that turtles could climb fences. And they don’t take “No” for an answer, either. This is one good way to win the race, slow and confident.
Most cats won’t travel too far away from their food bowl. But these cats have outfitted a couple of sheep and have been traveling the world. That’s living by their own rules.
40. Freedom Is A Bus Pass
The ability to roam the country is a stalwart of freedom. This dog is a living example of that type of elbowroom. So many dogs have raised their barks in support and jealousy.
41. Nothing’s Gonna Hold Her Down
Can you imagine the indignity of being couped up in a cat carrier? This Cacatua showed his displeasure by using its beak to make a great escape. Just imagine if those old prisoners of Alcatraz had one of these as a pet.
This dog knows how he wants to take a nap. It’s obvious that the duck feathers are not scratchy enough when they are inside the pillow. That’s how he likes it and that’s how it’s gonna be from now on.
43. Next Stop, Outer Space
When you changed the brand of cat food, your cat turned the dish into a spaceship. That’s when you knew your cat was just visiting.
Cat’s lifting weights? That isn’t something you see every day. But this cat lives by his own rules. As you can see in this picture, today was “arm day” at the gym. Pretty impressive gains.
45. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof? What About Cold Bleachers?
There’s nothing like cool metal on a hot summer day. This cat does it his way, fully splayed out and comfy. Seems like he’s got the right idea.
46. Doth Protest Too Much
Sometimes when you live life on your own terms, you run up against folks who don’t want you to be so free. This pup has learned that his mates have had enough of his antics. They realized that he just needed a big old hug.
47. Let Your Freak Flag Fly
Don’t let anyone tell you not to be you. Peer pressures from your group of friends can be tough to get through. But let this dog be a guiding light, and stand your ground, no matter how weird they think you are.
Some cats just won’t be subjected to the average kitty litter box. This cat has stood in that second class sand for way too long. Let that be a lesson to you humans, your flora is not protected.
He said he needed a bigger bed. He said he needed a blanket. And it’s never ever been enough.
This cat was so angry when you forgot to feed her that she took things into her own hands, finding the extra fancy nuts that were for tonight’s dinner party. She’s willing to bet you’ll never forget again.
