There are many things you learn are mandatory once you become a pet parent, animal fam. The first, and foremost, is the cheese tax. Whenever you go to take a piece of cheese from the fridge (for any reason whatsoever), you are required to give a piece of cheese to the dog or cat as well. The second, and almost if not more impawtant, is that whenever your pet is resting on you, you cannot move until they get up. This crime is punishable by 99 dog years in jail. Everyone knows this.

But we're not here to talk about any of those rules; we're here to talk about one of the holiest and most sacred pet pawrent rules there is: the biiiiiiiiig stretch. Whenever your pet does a stretch, maybe after they just woke up, or upon greeting you, you must announce in a clear, high-pitched baby voice "Oohhhhhhh biiiiiiig stretch!". So you can practice, we've gathered some of the finest big stretches the internet has to offer below. Say it with us, all together now!

  • We've never had a mouse or rat as a pet before, but now that we know that they, too, pawticipate in the biiiiiig stretch, we're much more likely to adopt one. Such a big stretch in such a smol body, making it extra cute!

  • A lot of these stretches look like they would fix all of our back problems in one go. Darn our hooman spines, why can't they be as flexible as a feline's? They always look comfy, no matter if they're loafing or folded like a pretzel.
