Pets are known for their ability to fill our lives with sweet and heartwarming moments. With their extraordinary skills to make every day better, they become great companions and help us forget about all the struggles and stress we experience. Sometimes, it's the way they welcome us when we come back home after a hard day, join us and lay next to us on the sofa while we watch some series, or even when they ask to share our dinner that we can finally eat. All these moments are truly priceless and make us feel loved and peaceful.

There are also other situations when our pets can trigger some strong emotions and not necessarily ones that put us in a calm state of mind. Today, we would like to share with you an interesting collection of images that were shared by pet owners online. All of them have something in common - they feature sweet pets but are captured in a very specific way. The statement “cute pets” doesn’t apply here unless we put it together with “got possessed”. Scroll down to see the funniest photos of dogs, cats, and others, captured in the most frightening moments.

RELATED:

    We reached out to Alyson Kalhagen, the owner of the amazing cat duo - Pixel and Sophie. The reason we contacted her is our post also features hilarious images of Pixel watching Alyson from the top of the shower. Can you guess which one we are talking about? In case you’re struggling, you can click here to see it! We wanted Alyson to describe the first time she noticed her cat doing this, and her initial reaction. Kalhagen shared with us: “The first time I saw Pixel climb to the top of the shower honestly scared me because I was afraid he was going to fall, but I was kind of stuck doing my business and wasn't really able to jump up and grab him. After I saw him doing it a few times I became more confident that he knew what he was doing, so now it doesn't worry me as much.”

    Funny pet moments often create lasting memories. We were wondering if Alyson can recall any other instances where Pixel has startled or scared her in amusing ways. The cat’s owner told us: “People always assume that it would be scary to see Pixel in the middle of the night, but when he startles me it is usually because he decides to scream at me for no reason. He is quite vocal when he wants to be and sometimes he will just come running out of nowhere to have a very loud chat.”

    Asked if Pixel has any other entertaining habits or antics that bring joy to the owner’s daily life, Alyson mentioned: “When Pixel was about a year old, I noticed that he had a tendency to show his teeth at things he wanted to catch, usually toys that were shiny or had a bell or shaker. After a while, I figured out how to use certain items that pique his interest to encourage him to "smile" for the camera, which has led to endless hilarity in creating photos and videos. He is just the most incredible creature I've ever been privileged enough to know, and I will never understand how I got this lucky.”

    Lastly, we were curious how Kalhagen would describe Pixel’s temperament and if she could tell us more about some of the things that he enjoys doing. Alyson said: “Pixel is really energetic, on the go, and likes to have all my attention 100% of the time. He has spent most of his life in front of the camera at this point, so he really enjoys the attention that he gets when we are playing dress-up and making videos. I've even got a video of him bringing me his sunglasses so we can dress up and play! We've been able to start using the content we create to raise money for my favorite cat rescue, and later this year we plan to produce content in support of various other nonprofits as well. Pixel seems to really have a knack for fundraising, and I feel like this is what we are supposed to be doing with all this.”

    Years ago I had a cat who would “walk” upside down on the bottom of the box spring like that. Weird sound the first time. Once I knew what it was, then I’d just holler at Major (who was a ginger and white tomcat, named for the ginger marking on his white arm that looked like an oak leaf cluster) to stop it, damn it, I’m trying to sleep!
