People Share How They Cope With Leaving The House Without Their Pets

People can do hard things, but here at I Can Has Cheezburger we don't want to! And by hard things, we mean leaving our awwdorable cats and dogs for longer than even a few hours. They're just so cute and precious! We want to keep them safe and happy all the time, and going to the grocery store without them makes us feel so guilty.  Anyway after reading this Twitter thread, we can actually say that we aren't alone in feelin this way. The range of expressions that cats and dogs have when you leave them behind without you for a few hour at home would make it seem like they're being tortured.

Users from all over Twitter came together to commiserate about how difficult it is to leave for work or school without constantly  being near your adorable cat or pupper. They also shared photos of a bunch of dogs, each of whom is a really good boy who we will probably become super obsessed with after reading through their stories. In any event, we hope you can both laugh and take comfort in the responses of this hilarious and awwdorable Twitter thread. Take a look:

    We totally know how Tiara feels! Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we love our pets more than anything, so even going a few hours without seeing them feels super hard. But people can do hard things, right? Eh, sometimes we just want to cancel our plans and cuddle with our pets, and that's totally fine! You do you Tiara.

    Aww, this is so cute! Honestly we would also shed a tear if we had to be separated from the absolutely perfect pupper that she's showing in this awwdorable photo. Just look at his smol tongue sticking out, he's such a paw-fect doggo! We hope she doesn't have to be away from him for very long most of the time.

    Product - Goodnight Love @Scorpiana95 ... Replying to @MakeupForWOC No but seriously though, I get sad when l'm at work and see a cute video of a dog and then start thinking about my dog and how adorable she is. Then I just get upset that l'm not at home with her and then all I want to do is cuddle her
