50 Funny Tweets About Animals That’ll Leave You Laughing Like a Hyena

Though their birth certificates allege otherwise, we all know that our pets remain babies for their entire lives. To be clear, I’m not interested in discussing “facts” about the passage of time, but if you want to force my hand, fine — you’re getting older by the day, and your 14-year-old Chihuahua has never been more young and precious than it is right now. Deal with it. 

But this state of perpetual toddlerdom is why we get confused when the veterinarian accuses our “elderly” animal of being difficult to draw blood from. Imagine being at work and telling your boss that a baby is preventing you from doing your job properly. It’s insane, right?

We’re not alone in the confusion, and as animals push the patience of vet techs and the notion of what constitutes youth (as they should), we can laugh at the other shenanigans peoples’ pets get up to, like TV-watching cats, leg-biting lizards and weird-as-hell birds.
