Animal lovers are often guilty of spoiling their beloved furry friends with treats they shouldn’t necessarily have – but some animals will take the biscuit.
Every pet owner understands how difficult it is to eat their food while their cat or dog sniffs around hoping for a bite.
Likewise, it’s always risky to leave delicious snacks and meals unattended when our pets are around.
However, catching your pet in the act can have hilarious consequences, with some (though not all) animals looking guilty as sin when they realize they’ve been messed with.
Wake up Jaco has collected a huge gallery of greedy pets caught trying to steal their owners’ food.
Hollow legs! Wacko Jaco has collected a gallery of photos of pets caught red-handed stealing food from their owners. This Little Black and White Kitten Placed His Paws on a Milkshake to Balance Himself as He Gulped Down the Creamy Drink – and Didn’t Even Look Up After He Was Caught
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the dogs in the gallery appear to be riddled with guilt, while the cats, on the other hand, appear to have no guilt at all about being caught stealing food from their humans.
One kitten in particular barely looks up from his milkshake, despite being caught red-pawed by his owner, and instead continues to gulp down the creamy drink.
