There are days when it feels like the world is going against you. You’re late for work, and the keys have just fallen into the drain hole. But day-breaking fails have been well documented in the history of humankind, and there’s a silent agreement not to talk about ‘em too much. Unless it’s the misfortune of others and in that case, you may wanna hit Bored Panda’s previous compilations here, here, and here.
But what hasn’t been chronicled that well is animals going through a rough day, and we are about to change that. You heard me right. Our beloved furry companions have vile days too and they’re just as painfully funny. Squirrels, horses, doggos, they've all had their fair share of 24 hours turned nightmare.
So get some popcorn ready 'cause you’re about to see what a bad day looks like in the animal kingdom. And trust me, just because they don't have keys to fall into a drain hole doesn't mean they have it easier.

Sarah (Dog) Stole A Bite Of Stella's Food And Stella Came Running To Me In The Kitchen To Complain About It
I just love Stella's expression. She looks annoyed and completely indignant. For how long was she pissed off?
"We can't give him away?" "Okay, let me think." "How about accident?"
who says that? Obviously someone who has never shared their life with an animal. They all qualify.
Load More Replies..."Mom! Mom! Meowmy! Sarah stole some of my food and has the furry nerve not to share her own. Can I pee in her water bowl at least?"
Is Stella a Bengal? She looks like one! If so, that is EXACTLY what she's doing! I have 2 cats, big black and white tuxedo moggy - Neelyx and a hyperactive gravity defying Bengal - Ziggy. They fell out with each other and had to separate them so they have separate litter trays separate rooms. One night, after Neelyx had been roaming about and then went to bed with his dad, Ziggy started freaking! Asked him what he wanted, expecting him to be wanting in the bedroom where Neelyx was, and he took me to his litter box, meowing ALL the time, goes into it, shows me a pee in it! It wasn't his! When Neelyx had been out of the room for a bit he'd used Ziggy's litter box! Ziggy was NOT happy! PS they've STILL not made up! I am at my wits end about what to do! I welcome any help or advice! On here or I'm on Facebook and Twitter, same name as this!
This is the best picture of a p.o.'ed cat I've ever seen. Great job, Stella!
Sometimes I wish animals could talk so we could understand, but other times I figure it's a blessing not to know what they want!
3 cats live with me. They each have different methods, times, and reasons - but they all tell me what they need, and come to get me when it's time for dindin. (that is the operative word) You just have to know the language and listen hard, or even better, just follow them. You'll get ii.

Have to wonder if Stella is a grumbly kitty. Muttering and griping about her roomie
The last one looks like Stella might've started using some 'saltier' words...
LOLOLOL!!! Tell knows how to get her point across in no uncertain terms!!!
From the left ...."you do get my point ....you can't let this continue ....am sick and tired "
Must be in the US. ANimals in all the enlightened countries have no problem being told they will surrender their food for the common good. Go ahead, Swedes, snatch the food from a wolfs mouth- she will just sit back and smile. George Orwell would be proud!
Big brother ( Dog) little sister ( cat) just like human siblings little telling on big. So funny so cute
Stella looks most unhappy. Sarah is lucky if she didn't get her nose scratched!
Ooooooooh!!! Stella Aaaangry. And complaining. POOR KITTY. I wish i could console her. She needs pets & Temptation cat treats!
This is the best expression of my personality ever. Stella and I have to be related. That mad face is classic!
My Dog Ran Away, After Hours Of Looking I Came Home To This
Oh, Ralph
Bored Panda reached out to Karen Johnson, a doctor of veterinary medicine, certified canine rehabilitation practitioner, and the co-founder of VIP Vet Visit, who shared her expertise on pets dealing with stressful situations. Because apparently, it’s not only us who get our blood up to a boiling temperature from time to time.
Karen explained that every pet handles stress differently, but it’s important to notice what your particular pet does when they’re having hard times. Having said that, some pets do, in fact, cope with stress better than others.
“Dogs seem to be better equipped to handle stressful situations than cats,” the doctor explained. “Cats,” on the other hand, “very often can make themselves ill due to stress or have behavioral problems such as urinating outside the litter box.”

Often, it's people who add some fire to animals' stress levels. “It is very noticeable that if an owner is worried or stressed, the pet becomes anxious, nervous, and stressed as well. They can sense your emotions.”
Imagine if your pet saw you reacting like the world is turning against you after your car keys got into the drain hole—chances are, he would be stressed out too.

I Think My Dog Just Died A Little Bit On The Inside When I Didn't Give Her The Last Bite Of My Burger
The canine rehabilitation practitioner warned owners to look out for these signs of stress in pets: panting, shaking, lip licking, yawning, whining, pacing, hiding and shedding.
“If you notice any of these behaviors, you should stay calm and relaxed,” Karen suggested. Only when you’re feeling calm yourself can you go on to the next step of finding out what triggers averse emotions in your furry friend.
Do You Think This Is Funny?
So This Happened (Yes, I Rescued It)
Our Dog Opened The Upstairs Screen Door And Followed Our Cat Onto The Roof. He Required Consoling Before Coming Back Inside
We Actually Had To Help Him Down. Idiot
Reminds me of when one of our cats got on the top of our bifold closet doors, and the door started spreading wider...and WIDER... He worked it out.

Just a reminder for those who might experience this in the future. You can cut the protruding rope and let the cat keep passing it. Pulling it out can damage their little organs.

He came back outside afterwards to see Archie was “stuck”. His back foot was on the lead so it strained when he walked forward. So he was “trapped”. Dad lifted his back foot and saved him.

We've just gone back into lockdown for 6 weeks - this was the perfect pick-me-up!!
Oh, so sorry for you. Too bad you, like us here in the States, are ruled by morons.
Load More Replies...Some of these are funny, but not the ones were the animal has been injured. :(
not bad enough to make the list, but when Mikko stuck his head into a tissue box, it wasn't long before he began regretting it 0-bad-day-...93069f.jpg
Note to self.. Do not check out animal things on Bored Panda when 1. you really have to pee and 2. you have a broken rib......
Even humans have off days (minus those so called off days).

The cat falling off the table one was my favorite, couldn’t stop laughing!!
Why are half of these animals fat, stolen human food or just getting human food? How hard is it to not give dogs burgers or other human food. And how hard is it to make sure your dog cant reach it. I wouldnt want to give my dog stomach aches or worse.... apparently it funny...
Am I the only one who noticed majority black cats in a pickle? My black cat is quite clever
With the title I half expected shots inside a slaughter house. Happily disappointed.
Oh no, that would offend Pandas, they just want to laugh.
