20 Pets Who Got Bigger, but Didn’t Shake Off Any of Their Habits

Like humans, pets pick up habits that they keep for their entire lives. Most of them connect with a toy or accessory so deeply that they keep it close even after it’s not fit for playing anymore. This just proves how similarly our pets’ brains and ours work, and maybe that’s why we grow to feel so close to them.

Now I’ve Seen Everything knows that we must appreciate every moment with our pets, since they grow up so fast.

1. “2 weeks to 7 months! Soon I won’t be able to pick him up.”

2. “Loki thinks he’s water and, sometimes, I believe him.”

3. “My cat as a kitten and as an adult”

4. Some things never change.

5. “Arlo at 2 months and 8 months old, featuring his special toy”
