strange

Have you ever watched an animated movie, and you're sitting there, enjoying yourself, and then one of the worst, most terrifying-looking animal comes onto the screen and you feel like you've fallen into a different dimension? Well, twitter users are going through this existential crisis today, and we think it's so funny. 

For some reason, movie animators have a tendency to try to make animals look more "attractive" or more "realistic" by giving them human features, and they always miss their goal by a mile and a half. And give us nightmares in the process. At least these animated animals are funny to laugh at though. 

If you have ever spent some time on the internet looking through animal pictures, you know that there are some insanely weird animals out there in the world. The kind of animals that just do not look real, the kind of animals that you look at and think that there is no way something like this exists in the real world, you will not believe it unless you see it. 

We, as animal connoisseurs, have gotten used to coming across weird animals online, but when regular twitter users encountered them, hilarity ensued. And we just had to share it. 

Have any of you other cat owners experienced the wrath of a cat against a closed door? Apparently, my cat is not the only one who hates them for some unclear reason, meowing at the door and at me until I open it and then just... sitting there or walking away like she didn't just wake me up at three in the morning for this one specific thing. 

Well... as much as we don't understand why this happens, I suppose there is nothing we can do but take it and make sure that as many doors as possible are open in the middle of the night. I mean, yeah, cats may be annoying little hellions sometimes, but that doesn't mean we love them any less lol. 

Dogs: weirdos that we cannot help but love. They're the very best boys and girls, and we love them dearly, but sometimes, they are so heckin' weird, doing the strangest things, being the biggest weirdos in the world. And okay, fine, them being weird is one of the reasons we love them as much as we do. Dogs being weird are dogs being special. 

The weirder the dog, the more we love them. And the users posting on r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog know that better than most and constantly give us weirdos to love. So, thank you to them for sharing their goofballs. 

There have been times before where we've been asked, by people who don't have pets: "how do you know that they love you back and don't only love the food you give them?" And in our hearts, the answer is obvious - we can feel it. In every interaction, strange and unique as it may be - we feel the love that our pets have for us. 

Today, we're bringing you some proof. Our animal-loving ICanHasCheezburger Facebook users shared with us strange ways in which their pets show them they love them, and they were all so hilariously adorable, we simply had to share them with the rest of you guys. If you love your pet and treat it right, it will show you love back. 

If your pet has some weird ways of showing love too, come tell us about it in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime. 

Okay, so be honest, if you suddenly couldn't see your dog anywhere, started looking for it all panicked, then looked up and suddenly found it on your roof, what would you do? Probably freak out. This dog owner definitely freaked out, and we both totally understand what he's going through, but we're also kinda laughing, not gonna lie. 

The internet couldn't stop laughing either, making this hilarious twitter thread go viral, and joining in on the laughs, just like the internet always does with weird animals. And you're about to join in on the laughing too - laughing fondly though, because doggos are wonderful no matter how weird they are.

Pets are so strange! We believe each animal has a special and strange quirk to them, but ultimately, that just adds to their unique personality! A cat who likes to eat out of a bowl only if it's filled with hair ties? That's definitely an odd quirk! 

'I Can Has Cheezburger' users recently revealed the strangest quirks their pets have and it did not disappoint! These were all such a blast to read through, if you want to check out more pet quirks from the original thread, we've got you covered right here. 

All these strange and bizarre quirks just make us love all these pets even more! Be proud of your quirks -- they make you special! 

Have you ever looked at your cat and wondered: "what the heck are you doing?" Yeah, same. We believe all cat owners have these moments. Cats are just like that sometimes, they just do... cat things. Sleeping in weird ways, stealing your food, playing with your hair clip for half an hour while totally ignoring the 20$ toy you bought them.

Cats are chaotic good in other words. They're strange, but they have good intentions (most of the time), and we love them all the more for it. So, enjoy our latest favorites from r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat, and let yourself fall in love with these feline hooligans a tiny bit more today. 

Every pet has its strange little habits. Sometimes, your cat will try to eat your plants, or maybe your cat cries every time you take his sweater off. Maybe your dog has a thing about eating all of your pants, I know mine does, or maybe... your dog likes to pee on tangerines. Don't question it, it happens, pets are weirdos sometimes. 

Demikmj on imgur, who's pupper does just that, decided to share some pics of him when she was bored, and boy oh boy, did the internet eat them up. We love animals with weird habits, what can you do? The weirder the habit, the more special they are and the more love they deserve. 

Every one of us animal lovers, every once in a while, feels the need to know more - more animals, more about animals, the more we know the better. But we don't always know where to start finding these unique creatures. Well, let us introduce you to one of the most unique twitter accounts we've come across that showcases the most unique animals out there in all of their glory: @StrangeAnimaIs.

We could scroll through their tweets for hours and hours and constantly find some new strange but beautiful animal to admire. Nature is just amazing, and these tweets help us come just a tad closer to appreciating just how amazing it is. 

Can anyone explain exactly why cats love sinks so much? Is it the coolness? Is it the "if it fits, I sits" instinct? All we know for certain is that no matter what time of year, no matter what we're doing in the bathroom, for some strange reason, our cats are always following us there. 

They're probably watching us in there to make sure we don't drown in this weird watery room. That has to be the reason, right? A cat's consideration knows no bounds. At least that's what we tell ourselves when they reach over and try to munch on our favorite toothbrush. Eh, whatever, so long as they look cute in that sink, they know they can get away with pretty much anything. 

Isn't it strange that a majority of us don't quite know what a baby pigeon looks like? Sure, we've all seen thousands upon thousands of pigeons... but baby pigeons? Personally, we can't say we've ever seen one in real life. However, they must exist! And these photos of baby pigeons are definitely proof of their existence. 

These photos of baby pigeons are nearly identical to how we've pictured the extinct Dodo bird of the past. They are adorable, yes. Yet, somehow extremely odd. We can't really place our finger on it, we'll just call it "strangely cute." 

Cats are unusual creatures. We don't think we've ever come across a "normal" cat. What is a "normal" cat anyway? Each cat has it's own unique personality and is a different character with different quirks. Much like us humans. Some cats are social and affectionate and others are introverts who are affectionate. There are so many types of cat personalities out there! 

In collaboration with popular Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we bring you this fine questionnaire that will force you to recognize the truth, your cat is a goofy oddball weirdo. Fill out the questionnaire below as you scroll and let us know your final tally in the comments below! Just HOW strange is your cat? 

If you enjoyed this questionnaire and in the mood for another, be sure to check out Ilana Zeffren's previous questionnaire, 'How Spoiled Is Your Cat?'

We're torn. Are cats with super tiny faces even cuter or just simply weird looking? We seriously can't decide. We'll just say it's weirdly cute. Cats are naturally perfect and adorable without any photoshop involved, but sometimes when photoshop is involved, we can't help but be intrigued by the results. Surely, photoshop can't perfect what is already perfect so when it does happen it's always a tad bit weird, but still cute. 

And what's where we stand with this cat... art. It's definitely weird, there's no denying that, but as humans, we have a soft spot for tiny faces, don't ask us why, you just know it's true. 

Ever find yourself not knowing the group noun for an animal? Happens to us nearly every day it seems. And while a majority of group names do have a basic underline understanding as to why they were named that... some names don't hold that obvious clarity. 

Actually some group names leave us feeling completely baffled. And some just seem like missed opportunities! Six years ago, there was a petition to change the group noun of Squid, which is Shoal, into the clearly superior option -- Squad. Seems like the petition worked. 

A group of bats is called either colony, camp, or our personal favorite -- cloud. There's so much to learn every day!
