These Animals Are Probably Having a Worse Day Than You

Believe it or not, animals have bad days just like we do.

Sometimes they forget to pay their bills, or their phone breaks, or they get pulled over and receive a speeding ticket…

Okay, none of those things are true, but sometimes they do get into funny situations where they are inconvenienced, and for a pet, that’s NOT a good day.

Not good at all…

They just want to eat, sleep, run around, and then chill with you on the couch at night when you watch TV.

They really do have the life, don’t they…?

But these animals got tripped up and had days, as you’re about to see.

Let’s take a look…

1. Time to go to the vet.

This cat won’t do that again.

My friends cat got it’s head stuck in a vase, freaked out, broke the vase, and was left with this. from pics

2. Awwww. Poor fella.

You broke his heart.

My dog’s facial expressions when I didn’t turn towards the dog park. from funny

3. You know what you did.

And you’re going to pay!

I kicked over my cats milk and had no replacement. He sat opposite me as I ate my dinner looking at me like this. from funny

4. I’m falling!

But you’ll be able to get up.

=D from holdmycatnip

5. We got ya!

This is amazing, if I do say so myself.

Smile and wave boys from AnimalsBeingJerks

6. Hahahaha. Wow.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like that before.

7. Came right back in!

Wasn’t expecting that to happen.

This is my cat after trying to run out the door….. Into a wall of snow. from aww

8. That is pretty creepy.

Put on some pants!

My friend’s cat had surgery and now he has no pants from funny

9. OH MY GOD.

How the hell did that happen?

Bought a couch from Craigslist, heard noises coming from it after bringing it home. Cut it open and found a cat from funny

10. Almost got away with it.

But you got stuck!

My dog managed to get into a pack of frozen fish fillets and he would’ve gotten away with it if he didn’t get stuck and had to come to me for help from AnimalsBeingDerps

11. This is not cool at all.

Pouting the rest of the day.

My friends dog is not happy about leaving the dog park early! from funny

12. Burned whiskers.

Be careful around the stove!

When you love the smell of bacon but get a little too close to the frying pan on the stove… from Wellthatsucks

13. You’re gonna do WHAT to me?

Uh oh…

My friend took her cat to get fixed and his face shows exactly his thoughts about it from funny

14. That is epic.

Now go get him out!

15. Your goat has a trampoline?

That’s pretty wild…

Goat seeking trampoline from AnimalsBeingDerps

How about you?

Do your dogs and cats ever really BLOW IT and then get upset?

Or maybe they just do funny, ridiculous stuff that makes you chuckle?

Either way, tell us about it in the comments and share some pics with us!

Killing a House Centipede is NOT a Good Idea

You’re gonna want to pay attention to this.

Countless house centipedes have met their fates at the receiving end of a rolled-up magazine, a cup, or a shoe.

But they’re getting a bum rap.

While they’re indeed creepy and crawly, and they’ve certainly sent the heartiest of us out a room screaming, they’re good to have around. If you can get past your squeamishness, it’s best to let them live.

Photo credit: Pixabay

Centipedes are on a constant search for their next meal. They dine on mostly unseen and more problematic insects, including silverfish, termites, moths, flies, and cockroaches.

House centipedes can have anywhere from 15 to 177 pairs of legs, depending on the species. They use them to stun and capture prey with a technique called “lassoing.” With the pair closest to their head, they poison their victims with venom and wrap themselves around the dying insect for a satisfying meal. This bug is also one of the few that doesn’t have a nest or web and isn’t problematic in terms of disease or destruction to your home.

Photo credit: iStock

If you can’t live with house centipedes, the best defense is a good offense.

Start by getting rid of their food. This means reducing moisture with a fan or dehumidifier, sealing off cracks where pests are prone to settle and lay eggs, and keeping trash indoors to a minimum.

Photo credit: Pixabay

Sure, the occasional centipede will still find his way in, no matter what you do. Just resist the urge to whack one out clean out of existence. You’ll reap the benefits of fewer pests and walk away with improved karma.

Do centipedes make you uncomfortable? Let us know in the comments below!

This Cute Bat Loves Being Petted and Even Makes Happy Noises

Here’s something very sweet.

A bat makes adorable, squeaky happy noises while getting pets.

His name is Jeddah and he’s a juvenile bat. The video was made by Mandi Griffith, a staffer with Sydney Wildlife.

This is Jeddah. He loves to be tickled, petted and scratched. Look at that blissful face. Jeddah is a Grey-Headed Flying-Fox. I usually clip my videos quite short when it’s all one behaviour being shown, but this bliss went on and on and I just couldn’t bring myself to deprive you of any of the lengthy joy. I particularly loved the yawny and sniffy bits about half way through. And I love the curl of the tongue as he yawns.

This bat was not releasable due to injuries.  He is in care with a vaccinated and licensed bat carer. This bat is not a pet.  He was a baby hand raised for release, and became an education animal. He is used to being handled.  He actively solicits attention and cuddles. There have been suggestions that this bat is terrified and the squeaks are not cute. This bat is in bliss and is able to get away from the carer at any time. He is choosing to be stroked. He solicits attention.

This particular species of fruit bat is known as a megabat and is native to Australia. They’re one of the largest bats in Australia with a wingspan of a meter. Their conservation status, unfortunately, is vulnerable, as their numbers are decreasing.

Isn’t he adorable? Say it with me, “Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!”

Alright, if bats were this cute, would you want one as a pet?

Cute Sloths Squeak to Each Other While Hanging Around

Sloths are some of the cutest animals on the planet. Not only are they super fuzzy and adorable looking, but they’re also very slow-moving and gentle. And they love nothing more than just hanging around.

These little sloth friends are doing just that, all while making a truly heartwarming squeaking sound.

Just try not to squeal yourself while watching this video:

These sloths are hanging out at the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica, a nonprofit dedicated to carrying for abandon, injured and orphaned sloths in Costa Rica.

If you pay a visit to Costa Rica, you can even take a tour of the sanctuary. But unfortunately, you won’t be able to hold or touch the sloths, as it’s very stressful for sloths to be handled too much by humans. Tourists can also accidentally introduce diseases and bacteria to the sloth, which isn’t good.

You can always look at photos and videos of them online, however.

"A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have."- Irish Proverb?????????????

Posted by Sloth Sanctuary Costa Rica on Wednesday, April 15, 2020

We could seriously look at these photos for hours.

Look at that sloth to stuffed animal ratio! It’s ADORBS!

Try to make sure you are getting plenty of sleep! Sleep helps you feel more refreshed and is excellent for your health. This tiny rescued Choloepus sloth is a good little sleeper! ???

Posted by Sloth Sanctuary Costa Rica on Saturday, May 2, 2020

I mean seriously just how cute is this little one. Enjoying that leaf like a boss!

We sure miss having guests on our tours and at our inn, but being closed at this time is right to do our part to help…

Posted by Sloth Sanctuary Costa Rica on Wednesday, May 20, 2020

Well, it’s now officially official. We’ll be spending the rest of the day looking at these cute rescue sloths! And booking the next flight to Costa Rica right after I get down writing this.

What’s your favorite mammal? Are you a fan of sloths, or do you think they’re overhyped?

We’d love to hear from you!
