Our pets are adorable sources of endless entertainment. Their silly brains just make everything so hilariously cute, and there’s always some strange new discovery just waiting around the corner for their humans to uncover.
Take these animals, for instance, who clearly practice their staring contest skills while their owners are away. The cuties are almost too good at winning against their opponents…
1. “You’re going down, kid.”
2. “I see this isn’t your first rodeo.”
3. “I’m just going to stare at you until you make sense.”
4. Always good to start their training young.
5. There may be, just maybe, a squirrel up there.
6. Some aren’t so good at the patience part.
7. “One more round, all or nothing. Winner gets dibs on mom’s lap.”
8. “Oh, I am SO in your head right now.”
9. “I hope you’re comfortable, bub, ’cause this is gonna be a while.”
10. He always wins as long as you don’t notice the contest is even happening.
11. “I will win that toy if it’s the last thing I do.”
12. “Uh, dude, do you have to be this close?”
13. “Alright…let’s do this.”
14. “That pillow will be mine.”
15. “No using spikes to spook me, that’s cheating.”
16. “Whoever wins gets the last jar of yams, deal?”
17. This is the most civil solution to their disagreement.
18. “You blinked!” “NO I DIDN’T!”
19. “Miss Elephant is on my side, you know.”
20. “Dangit, you’re just too cute to lose this game to!”
21. If he wins, they have to walk an extra half-mile.
22. “…Did you fall asleep?” “What? No!” “Yes you did! That’s a forfeit!”
That’ll make you think twice before challenging your critter to a staring match! Maybe stick to rock, paper, scissors instead. (They always pick rock.)
