Ever since Pizza Rat came on the scene in the subway of New York City, people have had a fascination with animals doing human things. Namely eating. While it's funny to see a cat slouched over like Al Bundy, there's something about a critter chomping on a very human treat that just seems to tickle our collective fancy. Twitter user @heatherchristle reminded us of these simple pleasures when she shared the tale of being woken up by a mouse attempting to dig into a Lindt truffle.

Unique pet names are such a joy. There's nothing worse than meeting an animal who has the most basic uncreative name you could think of. As a child, I went to the neighbor kids' house, thrilled to find out they had guinea pigs. However, my glee subsided when I found out the horrid truth. They named their white guinea pig Snowball, their brown guinea pig Hershey, and their black and white guinea pig Oreo. That is an abomination.

Here, we've got memes for all animal fans. Are yo…

Pretending to be asleep can get people out of a lot of trouble. I used to feign slumber in the car to get out of climbing the stairs of our home and going to bed. I'm not sure which came first, my dad being unwilling to carry more or catching on to the ruse, but those days didn't last terribly long. This weekend, the internet learned that it's not only humans who turn to acting ( lying ) when faced with an undesirable situation. Apparently, horses will do this, too. At least that's what one clo…

Haha, weird animal

One of the quickest ways to humble yourself as a human being is to remember just how many species of animals there are on this planet. Evolution/God/Our Great Lizard Overlords really snapped when it came to this whole nature business, and all around us we can see obvious reminders of that. There’s so many out there that it can get a little overwhelming, so it’s lucky that @welcometomymemepage is here to sort the good from the bad when it comes to creatures and critters. These handy guides will …

Mamma mia.
