49 Hilarious Pets Who Don’t Quite Understand The Concept Of Boundaries (New Pics)

Although they don’t communicate like we do, our pets often seem to understand us better than most people. Whether they’re curled up in our laps or gazing quietly into our eyes, they have an uncanny ability to sense what we’re feeling and going through.

But there’s one thing they seem to struggle with—or maybe just choose to ignore—and that’s the concept of personal space.

The animals we’ve gathered from across the internet definitely don’t mind getting up close and personal. And while they may have no sense of boundaries, their hilarious antics are impossible to resist. So, let’s laugh at their adorable mischief together!

I work as a shopping list maker at Bored Panda, where my main responsibilities include searching for new popular products and creating shopping blog articles as well as sometimes helping with covers creation. Searching for cool and trendy products helps me to be up to date with trends and helping with covers enhances my creativity. In my free time, I like taking and editing aesthetic pictures, being active - walking, running and working out at the gym and playing video games. Also from a young age I love everything from various fantasy worlds - movies, games, tv shows. I really believe in positivity, equality and being kind to each other!
