Woof its been a long year.
Yet, despite some pretty ruff (sorry) news stories that came out in 2023, were hoping that our weekly roundups of the funniest dog and cat tweets were a purr-fect (sorry, again) escape.
So as a little holiday treat, here are 50 of the funniest tweets weve featured in our roundups in 2023.
We Shih Tzu not.
Just a reminder that we did not write these tweets, we merely curated them. So, if any posts truly make you howl, we sincerely hope you click on that tweet and follow the person who brought a little bit of levity to your day.
And to all the pets featured in these hilarious nuggets online, we appreciate you, too! So, were saying thanks in a way you can truly comprehend: Bark, bark, and pspspsps.
(And if you want more pet tweets, there is no need to beg! You can check out last years 50 funniest tweets about dogs and cats here or check out our weekly roundup here .)
Yappy holidays, yall!
just saw a kid in petsmart with his hands and face pressed against an adoptable cat's glass cage telling the cat they need to "form a plan" because his mom said no and whispering his full home address to the cat. i think the kids will be alright

I don't completely know how to explain this, but as a cat owner you quickly learn that "absence of cat (chill)" and "absence of cat (suspicious)" are two very different kinds of silence

My 3-year-old said she wished we had a pet. I reminded her we have a dog and wow the genuine surprise on her face as it dawned on her that our dog is a pet and not just some other guy who lives here.

I was waiting at the vet last week and an older couple came in to pick up their cat. Typical retired Vermonters - worn jeans, plaid shirts, LL Bean fleece vests. I would've guessed they were there for a Max, Luna, Toby, Bella, Oliver, etc, but no. They were there for SHADOW LORD.
