In every family, there are rules that help everyone get along and have a routine. Parents manage in their own way in order to keep things organized and make sure everyone behaves well. Some rules are normal, like cleaning up or going to bed on time. But some might seem really strange.
Jason Hardesty, an employee of the UPS delivery company, unexpectedly has gained popularity on social media. It happened after he started to share photos of himself with the dogs of the owners to whom he delivered parcels. We are deeply touched by these photos.
Pets are really cute and funny sometimes. They can be both lovable and strange. One minute they’re cuddling with you, and the next they’re chasing their own tails. They can make us happy with their playful actions, but also surprise us with their odd behavior, They can make us happy with their playful actions, but also surprise us with their odd behavior, like your puppy deciding to be a cat from now on. They teach us that the best moments in life can be simple and unexpected.
Time slips away unnoticed; seconds morph into minutes, minutes into hours, and hours into days and years. Thus, before you realize it, a tiny kitten that once nestled in the palm of your hand transforms into a plump cat, and those boots you seemingly acquired just a few days ago are poised to commemorate their coming of age. These are the indelible imprints left by the passage of time.
Trusting our own eyes isn’t always a given: angles, perspectives, and perfectly timed moments can occasionally play deceitful games with our minds. In this compilation, you’ll come across images that require at least a second look to comprehend what’s happening.

Not everyone is born perfect. Like us humans, animals are sometimes also born differently by bearing a unique feature or two that sets them apart from others. For instance, imagine a cat with 4 ears and 1 eye or a dog born with no teeth. Below we have listed some amazing instances to celebrate their differences.
Some guy was writing derogatory comments under my posts. He claimed in several answers to have a Ph.D., and he also named the university where he studied. The funniest thing is that I also studied at this university, and we graduated from it the same year, 1979. We even had the same field of study. But I never met him. The guy even posted his Ph.D. certificate. But something was wrong there, and it took me some time to figure out what exactly. The font! One of the fonts he used on his Ph.D. certificate from 1979 wasn’t designed until 1982. © Ian Williams / QuoraA year ago, I found out that my husband had 2 children from 2 other women while we were still married. He agreed with them to pay support money every month if they didn’t reveal that he was the father. Once, he delayed the payment, and one of them called me and told me everything. I met those women and their children — they were the spitting image of him. Our younger son was 5 at the time. Those women hadn’t known about me before they got pregnant. They are all nice women, we keep in touch, and our children have become friends. My ex-husband got married again, and his wife is pregnant now. So, it seems that a new member will join our club soon.
Life has funny ways of surprising us. Sometimes it bestows us with miracles and good things, but in order to create a balance, it also throws some infuriating things along our way. For instance, you pay a fortune for a dream haircut but it ends up looking like a disaster, or your phone charger breaks in a time of emergency. We found such unfortunate yet funny moments below to be thankful for the good things happening to us.
Humans and other mammals give birth in the same way. But pregnancies can go in totally different directions. While humans are pregnant for around 280 days, opossums — just 12, and elephants — around 665 days!
Just like humans, many animals like to play, including dogs, cats, ravens, and even herring gulls. And it’s important for them to know how to play, since this behavior helps them be more psychologically flexible. Not only that, but knowing how to play and interract with other beings prepares them for future aggressive encounters.
Making their owners gush is an ability every pet has from birth. But everything has a reverse side and, in some cases, a fluffy cute animal can look like a character from a horror movie in photos. The good thing is that instead of starting to panic, pet owners can grab their cameras and please the Internet with funny photos.
The angle from where a photo is taken can define the whole picture. The chosen perspective can make certain parts disappear, and it can also make some objects look like they are defying logic. These images often confuse our brains, but it can also be quite fun to figure them out.
The expression “Not everything is what it seems” perfectly describes the pareidolia phenomenon. It happens when you look at your cat’s toe beans, and a nose is all you can see, for example. Although it might take you aback at first glance, it’s quite an amusing experience.
The games begin when the universe challenges our perception of reality. That is, when a tiny kitten suddenly takes on the shape of a hybrid with huge paws, all because of the angle at which its photo was taken. It’s as baffling as it is fascinating. Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of puzzles, these real-life optical illusions are the recipe for a good time.
Unlucky, bad things don’t always happen on Friday the 13th or after you’ve crossed paths with a black cat. We all get unlucky from time to time and it’s nothing but a matter of circumstance. No, we may not be thrilled about how things go, but all we can do is move on.
Perspective plays an important part in the way our brain translates what our eyes are seeing. That’s exactly how people end up mixing up a cat’s tongue for luscious lips. It sounds a bit weird, but the photographic evidence for this sort of phenomenon is nothing short of fascinating.
A picture might be worth a 1,000 words, but an endearing one is priceless. When you’re having a tough day, the image of a baby cuddling a cat can do wonders to reassure you not all is bad. Thankfully for us, social media allowed for these kind of pics to be shared across the world.
There are so many cute things around us — think of a tiny bunny, or a kitten, or even both of them playing together. That warm fuzzy feeling that most of us get made scientists wonder what makes someone or something cute. They came to the conclusion that we feel this way when we see baby-like features, even in animals, and it has its roots in evolution.
A Sphynx cat transforming into a turkey in under one second, a skyscraper as thin as paper — these instances might challenge your subconscious and give your brain a real puzzle to solve. You’ll probably need some time to digest the following images because, as unreal as they may seem, none of them have been photoshopped.
A cat whose fur pattern lines up flawlessly or a game console that fits in a shelf like a puzzle piece. These findings calm the soul of anyone who loves tidiness and organization. For those who don’t care about being neat, they’re still visually pleasing. It’s a win-win!
Some animals win our hearts faster than lighting. Their kind and endearing nature even has the power to make us question how we treat others. From a cat that tightly snuggles its rat pal to a dog that makes sure its sister pup can safely use the doggie door, animals constantly show us what unconditional love is.
Adopting a pet is a big step for a family — it can totally change its dynamic. One thing is for sure: our pets can multiply our happy feelings day in and day out. Some dads were firm about not wanting to adopt a cat, a dog, or a bird, and they all had their reasons for it. That is, until they snuggled with their new furry friend on a warm couch, feeling their love.
Having a furry best friend is wonderful because every day is a new adventure. Even though you might know them like the palm of your hand, they still find ways to surprise us. Whether it’s catching your dog red-handed up on the kitchen countertop or realizing your cat was napping inside a drawer, animals are masters at doing the unexpected.
Taking a perfect selfie with your cat, adopting a dog after years of wishing for one, or simply waking up next to your furry best friend — these are all little moments in our lives that we wouldn’t trade for anything else. All these snapshots have the power to give us the shivers and turn our frowns upside down.
In a day and age where all we know is touch-and-go, it’s good to take a moment to appreciate life for how extraordinary it can be. It’s true that a loving elderly cat hugging its new owner isn’t something you see every day, but that’s the beauty of photography and social media. Combined, they let us live and relive everyday moments that never fail to make us smile.
