Pets’ hilarious antics are captured in hilarious Snapchats

Animals can do the funniest – and most unexpected – things, as any owner will tell you. 

And now doting animal owners have captured their pets’ bizarre behaviour in a series of hilarious Snapchat posts – and it makes for very amusing viewing.

From a ginger cat trying on a pair of spectacles to an owl seemingly terrified by a banana, these comical Snapchats prove pets are social media gold.

The hilarious collection of screen grabs taken from social media feeds include a cheeky horse sipping from a bird feeder, a pooch reenacting a Michelangelo painting and even some adorable baby chicks – and whether you’re an animal lover or not, they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
