Introducing your pet to your new partner can be a pretty tense time. Will they take to the person you love so much, or will they reject this new person who’s taking up all of your time and affection? Will you have to prepare for the dreaded “it’s me or the dog” scenario?
Sometimes, though, your pet actually ends up loving your partner so much that it borders on slightly offensive. Like, hello-o, it was you who raised your pet from puppy or kitten, made sure to feed them daily and spoil them with toys. Yet here your partner is, lapping up more love than you receive yourself nowadays. What’s what all about?
If you know exactly how that feels, you’ll find these next 40 pictures hilariously relatable. Prepare to have an “aww” and a giggle.
1. When your cat loves your boyfriend
Just look at that happy little smile! It’s much harder to win a cat over, which is why it feels so much more satisfying when it actually happens. This ginger kitty clearly has a lot of love to give.
2. “The first night we met”
Relationships can develop quickly, as this guy pointed out. The evening started off pretty normal, but by the end of it, he was already comfortable enough to take a nap with his girlfriend’s dog. N’aaw!
You just know this guy is going to make a good dad. Whether his girlfriend’s puppy really cared about the game on his phone is debatable. But he still made time to explain it to him anyway! What a cute pair.
4. Husband stealing since day 1
This husky has been stealing her owner’s husband since she was a tiny puppy. A few years down the line and she’s still ass affectionate as ever. It’s pretty obvious who the favorite is in this household!
5. Third wheeling the boyfriend & cat
Have you ever met someone you just clicked with? That’s what happened when this guy met… his girlfriend’s cat. Imagine the moment when you realized your boyfriend and your cat had more in common than you two did.
6. Trying to steal the food and the girlfriend
This cat really is a force to be reckoned with. Not only have you got to make sure he’s not stealing your food, you’ve also got to keep him away from your girlfriend. Here he’s quite clearly envisioning a wonderful dinner date… in his owner’s chair.
Dogs can be pretty obvious about their intentions. We’d say that, with this pup sitting between his owner and his girlfriend, he’s trying to split the two apart. Jealousy – but on which side?
If you don’t let your pets sleep in bed with you, you’re missing out on super cute photo opportunities like this. When this man left for work in the morning, he came across his wife and his dog asleep together. Think he’s decided on a new favorite.
9. Waiting for the boyfriend
Have you ever been so desperate for your partner to come home that you have to keep looking through the window? For this person’s cat, the letterbox was the peephole of choice. All that effort… he must really love the guy.
10. Husband and the girls
Cats aren’t always the most affectionate, and they often prefer to keep to themselves. But when this person’s husband sits down, her cats come rushing to greet him immediately. He’s definitely in their good books.
11. When you go away for 3 weeks
This person left home for less than a month, and by the time she returned, she realized the tables had turned – her cat had a new favorite owner. Well, best not to take it personally. It’s a well-known cat game plan to show the most affection to the person who’s feeding them.
If this isn’t something out of a cozy Christmas ad, we don’t know what is… Talk about an idyllic family scene! The boyfriend who snapped the pic seems to be pretty okay with his dog stealing his girlfriend, too.
Have you ever reached out to hold the hand of your partner… and found something you weren’t expecting? This person discovered a furry paw in the mix. You know you’ve made it in life when your cat offers to hold your hand.
This photo genuinely just looks like a guy and his best mate chilling together on the couch. They’re just missing a beer and a bag of chips. He’s definitely more of a man’s man – but he still loves mom in secret.
15. When the cat decides it’s obsessed
When cats make a decision, you don’t really have a say in the matter. So if a cat decides that it’s obsessed with you, you’d better just go along with it. Even if you wake up every morning to discover said cat sitting on your head.
N’aaw, humans and animals sleeping together are our favorites. Wonder how often these sleeping beauties share a bed? Something tells us it’s become a bit of a nightly habit… but it’s a very cute third wheel.
From one sleeping beauty to another! If you’ve ever slept with a small animal next to you, you’ll know the dedication of having to stay deadly still in one position throughout the night. One wrong move and you’ve accidentally squashed your tiny best friend underneath you. It’s hard work.
18. Replaced on Valentine’s Day
It’s never nice to find out that you’ve been replaced on Valentine’s day. Luckily, when this man saw that his wife had a new partner on the 14th of February, he was able to take it lightly. It just so happened that he loved his wife’s new partner, too.
If a cat loves you loads, it’ll try and get your attention at every available moment. Cats particularly have a habit of trying to distract you when you’re doing something important, like working on your laptop, cooking dinner… or playing games. Look at this cutie trying to get her owner’s boyfriend’s attention.
20. Romantic firework display
There’s nothing more romantic than cuddling your partner while the two of you watch a firework display. But when this boyfriend came outside, he discovered that his spot for watching the show had already been taken. You snooze, you lose.
21. He knows what he’s doing
This video brings a certain scenario to mind: your ex-girlfriend has found a new man, and she’s totally smug about it. Luckily, in this case, there are no exes, but it’s clear what this guy’s dog is saying: “Ha, she likes me more than she likes you.”
22. His “I stole your girl” face
It’s not just dogs that can be smug, either! Honestly, this cat probably isn’t even comfy getting cuddled so close by this guy’s girlfriend, especially since cats like having their own space. But he was determined to remain in his position simply so he could shoot his owner a smug look.
We’ve seen what a cat does when you play video games – this is what a dog does. The pair are in this together! In the dog’s eyes, he’s helping his owner’s boyfriend simply by being there. You know what they say: buddies who game together, stay together.
All the wife wanted to do was hold her husband’s hand on the couch. Apparently, the cat wasn’t too happy about it though, and grabbed it for herself. Better keep an eye on this one.
25. When the BF closes a door
You know when you just want a bit of time to yourself, so you shut your bedroom door? Well, after this cat formed an obsession with her owner’s boyfriend, she needed to make it clear to him that it was privacy no more. You couldn’t hate her.
Dogs are so precious, and they deserved to be reminded of how special they are every living moment. This guy couldn’t help having a cute cuddle with his girlfriend’s dog. Some would say the pair are a better match than him and his girlfriend…
We’ve seen a lot of dogs and cats stealing partners, but how about horses? This mare is all the proof you need – she’s apparently a bit of a man-stealer. She’s so cute, too – how could you say no?
If you manage to get your cat to tolerate your boyfriend, you’re on to a winner. But in this person’s case, her cat didn’t just tolerate – she fell in love. Honestly, you could never feel anything but relieved in that situation. Okay, there might be a bit of jealousy there, too.
Find yourself a partner who looks at you the way this girlfriend looks at her BF’s do- never mind. It’s not going to happen. Only dogs get to be on the receiving end of such admiration.
There are certain puppies that clearly know how cute they are. They’ve just got to sit back and look adorable to win over anyone with a heart. So when this little guy managed to steal his owner’s girlfriend, he couldn’t helo gloating about it.
31. Mandalorian watch partners
Finding your perfect match is more than just partnering with a person who lives in your town and ticks all the boxes, looks-wise. You also have to have a few TV watching habits in common. That’s why these two are destined for one another.
32. Seducing the boyfriend
Imagine planning a bit of alone time with your boyfriend, then coming into the bedroom to discover this… Looks like the cat’s already taken her spot in bed. She’s obviously just washing her belly, but it fully looks like she’s trying to seduce the boyfriend.
How quickly can a dog take to a human? Within minutes? Seconds, even? As soon as this guy adopted a dog from the shelter, the dog became his GF’S BFF. Just look at them together on day one. Adorable!
Nothing to see here – just another girlfriend-stealing cat who wants to gloat about it. Lucky she’s so cute. You could never get mad at such a pretty face (as the boyfriend would probably say about his girlfriend
and the cat).
35. Flirting with the boyfriend
We’ve all had those moments in our relationship where we’re pretty sure someone is flirting with our man, but we don’t want to get all paranoid about it. This woman never expected that she’d have to contend with her own kitten in a flirting contest. Wonder who took second place?
Dogs are just so huggable, and this owner’s heart melted when she discovered her boyfriend and her dog shared a cuddle every morning. Who needs kids when you’ve got dogs, ay? Too precious.
This guy’s just trying to watch TV, but his girlfriend’s cat has decided it’s time to give her a bit of attention. Look at her flexing her paw! And then she shoots her owner a look, like, “He’s mine and you know it.” Cunning.
Cats love to get in on the action, even when it’s a Skype video call. This guy was Skyping his girlfriend and her cat wanted to remind him that she existed. Probably wouldn’t get much conversation out of her, though.
The days of cuddling his girlfriend are over for this guy. Unless, that is, he manages to find a way to slot between his girlfriend and his cat, which probably wouldn’t prove easy. Admit defeat, we’d say.
40. In bed with another man
And finally, it’s everyone’s nightmare: to come home and discover your partner is in bed with another man. But things get a bit confusing when that “other man” happens to be so cute and furry. Okay, they’ve got away with it.
