Do you need an emotional pick-me-up like a cat needs a sunny windowsill? Well, you’re in the right place! We’ve gathered 50 of the most joy-inducing, laugh-out-loud animal memes from the ever-hilarious Facebook page “Animal Feed.” These memes are scientifically proven (by us, anyway) to make your day at least 99% better. So grab a cup of tea, settle into your favorite chair, and prepare for a parade of adorably funny critters.

A poll in 2018 revealed that more than half of pet owners prefer the company of their animals to their best friends. They felt that spending time with their cuddly companions helped them de-stress after a long day, provided a calming presence in their home, and made their lives richer. If you’re stuck with humans and are missing your furry pal or just need some serious animal therapy in general, the Facebook page “Animal Feed” has got your back.

Looks very cool to me.

Helllooooo!!!

“Our pets are a huge part of our lives and make our day-to-day lives richer,” said James Lys, the general manager at the Mercure Stratford-Upon-Avon Hotel. “We have noticed a marked increase in guests who bring their pets, specifically their dogs, to share in the experience.”

Damn right

Agreed.

Lys commissioned the survey to learn more about the relationship between humans and animals. They discovered that 79% of respondents missed their pets when traveling and around 25% felt lost without their companion on the trip. Half of the survey participants thought that the presence of their pet could’ve made their holiday better.

But think of the joy it brings this bird!

Besides the benefits already mentioned, our attachment to our pets has to do with their helplessness and vulnerability. We feel that these fragile beings require our attention, help, and concern, similar to how we feel about children. We’re less likely to feel empathy for adults because they can speak up for their rights, whereas animals are unable to do so themselves.

I don’t normally like clothes for dogs, but that puppy looks darn proud 🙂

That’s like my oldest chihuahua. I’ve had her for 13 years while I’ve only been with my husband for 3. Little traitor!

I assume OP heard people loudly saying “Hi Steve” when they greet him and the dog.

There’s also the need for unconditional love. Humans want someone who loves us no matter what, has zero expectations, and is always happy to see us, whether we’re grumpy or not. Pets fill such a unique space in our hearts.

A much bigger suitcase is required.

The bond with animals is also unbreakable. The more time you spend with your pet, the stronger the connection grows. Just take a look at Hachiko, who waited for his owner at the train station long after he passed away.

How could you leave this bundle of flerf alone at home when he so obviously needs his mommers?

Even Sigmund Freud, a neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, was a lover of dogs. He once said to his friend Marie Bonaparte in a letter, “Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.”

Okay, one of you is going to have to go change.

It made me giggle

Sometimes I am in a glaring bad mood but I smile at any pets that I might see. Always.

Baby bunnies are simply irresistible.

I believe this is covered under the HIPAW act.

Nope, simply can’t be done.

Purrfect antidote for sadness!

There is only one Sonic the Hedgehog.

Onions, chili, and garlic are bad for dogs, causing seizures, liver damage, and potential death. Burritos are good, but your love must be stronger.

Awwwww

You married well.

I wish my teachers did this.

I love it when anyone uses this line as a starting point for a comment.
