26 Animal Memes to Help You Hide from Mariah Carey Season

Finding the perfect holiday gift for your pet is an adventure in itself. If you grew up like I did, you probably remember the joy of seeing stockings hung up on Christmas morning for the family pets. My three pups' stockings were always filled to the brim with bones, squeaky toys, and plushies, thanks to Santa's pet-loving side hustle. With all this being said, we're not ready for the stress of the holiday season yet. From a new catnip stash for your kitty to a next-level chew toy for your dog (or three), finding that purrfect gift is serious business. And while they may prefer the wrapping paper over the actual present, there's just something magical about seeing them tear into it like they're part of the holiday magic.

If you're like us and also avoiding the stress of the impending holidays, then go ahead and distract yourself with these hilarious memes below. If we're going to brave Mariah Carey season and all the holiday madness, we at least need our pets by our side, decked out with the finest treats and toys.
