We all know that cats love to sit on shoulders, but what about other animals? People have all kinds of pets, and it turns out that cats aren't the only ones that enjoy perching on their human's shoulder. Here are 14 cute photos of shoulder pets. For more animal photos, have a look at these beautiful photos of deer.

For most pet owners, it's no secret how much they love their pets. But it's rare when the pets return that love in the same quantity. While we like to believe that our pets love us as much as we love them, here are 17 photos of pets that definitely love their humans (maybe a little too much). If you're after some more funny animal photos, have a look at these silly monkey memes. 

No, I can't come hang out with you today, I'm celebrating my cat's Quinceañera. Yes, that's a perfect reason not to hang out with someone. This is a very important thing. And if the person you're talking to doesn't understand your reasoning for not hanging out with them, then they clearly don't know what it's like to have a pet, let alone a senior one. 

Every single birthday is precious with senior pets. Every day is deserving of celebration. Especially, when it comes to the most special kinds of birthdays - happy 10s, sweets sixteens, Quinceañeras. Need to look for as many reasons as possible to celebrate them. And today, we're joining in on twitter's celebration of senior pets, because they've earned it.

So, happy birthday to allllll the senior pets out there!! We hope you get many, many more birthdays such as this one.

One of the cutest things we've seen go viral on the internet this week is this awwwwwdorable cat asking for head rubs. Over and over again, this fluffball cat oh so gently pats their human's hand and asks for its head to be petted, and our hearts are practically melted around... the first time the cat asks. By time three, we're nothing more than a puddle.  

And some people still believe cats are not affectionate. Madness. They have no clue how much cats love cuddles and head rubs and heatbutts and every other expression of love that there is. They just like it... in controlled, small doses at times of their choosing. 

Here's a page we have no idea existed, Can You Pet The Dog?, is a Twitter page all about whether or not you can pet various animals within different computer games. 

And since it's discovery, we have a sudden urge to acquire all these games....just to pet some graphic animal.

If you're wondering if you can pet a certain animal in a certain game -- this is the Twitter page for you! We've already done some of the dirty work for you, just scroll down and see if your favorite game comes with a pet-petting ability!  

Who can even stand those pure eyes begging us, humans, to pet them? We're totally in love here.
