20+ Photos of Cats and Dogs Being Absolutely Derpy Are the Best Thing Ever
Some pets have a talent for making ordinary moments look completely ridiculous, and that is exactly why cat and dog photos never get old. One second they are acting cute, the next they are stuck in snow, tangled in toilet paper, or making a face that feels way too human.
This collection pulls together a bunch of especially derpy cats and dogs caught in their funniest little disasters. Some are mid-mischief, some look deeply confused, and some seem to have no idea how funny they are.
Either way, these pets are here to brighten your day, one awkward photo at a time.
1. What happened?
2. Turns out the snow was much colder than this cat expected.
3. “Dad started putting in the new toilet. He walked away for a few minutes and came back to this.”
4. Not the doggie door?
5. “Wife sent this when picking up our dog after surgery today. She says he’s ‘still under the influence.’”
6. TP attack.
7. Okay, and now for the hard part…
8. “My boyfriend is looking after my cat. He put the TV on and turned around to find this…”
9. “I turned around for 2 seconds, and Salem decided to eat flour. Now he won’t stop sneezing.” Did no one tell you that it really does only take 2 seconds?
Why do dogs act derpy? Stanley Coren, Ph.D., says: “The playful, uninhibited nature of dogs generally reflects the fact that dogs have more or less juvenile minds. We have specifically bred them not to fully mature but to maintain a mind that is very similar to those of their wolf puppy forebears for their entire lives. The technical term for this is neoteny. It’s part of what makes dogs unconditionally loving companions who want to frolic and who, like puppies, do silly things that make us laugh.”
