Animals Understanding The Word 'No' And Not Caring (Tumblr Posts)

Animal owners tend to live under the assumption that their animals don't actually understand them. You look at your hooligan, delinquent cat in the eyes as it's about to drop one of your favorite teacups onto the floor, and you say "no", and your cat looks at your like you're insane/insanely stupid and does it anyway. Maybe they really don't understand for the most part, but some animals...

Some animals are smarter than we give them credit for. It's not because they don't understand that they're not allowed to do it either. These tumblr posts clearly show that your pets understand exactly what they're doing. They do it because they're jerks. And they're jerks on purpose. And we love them anyway lol.

At the very least, we have to appreciate the forewarning that you get about disasters involving this little hooligan. He may not be intending for you to catch him, sitting there, being a smarty pants, murmuring to himself about how bad he is, but at least he's letting you know what's up , and we definitely appreciate it.

We love that this is a thing with birds too. Honestly, we had no idea birds were so smart... and have so little self-preservation until we really started looking into them. And now, we want nothing more than to have a pet bird for all of its amazing and wholesome shenanigans.
