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!
