150 Photos Of Animals Having A Worse Day Than You

There are days when it feels like the world is going against you. You’re late for work, and the keys have just fallen into the drain hole. But day-breaking fails have been well documented in the history of humankind, and there’s a silent agreement not to talk about ‘em too much. Unless it’s the misfortune of others and in that case, you may wanna hit Bored Panda’s previous compilations here, here, and here.

But what hasn’t been chronicled that well is animals going through a rough day, and we are about to change that. You heard me right. Our beloved furry companions have vile days too and they’re just as painfully funny. Squirrels, horses, doggos, they've all had their fair share of 24 hours turned nightmare.

So get some popcorn ready 'cause you’re about to see what a bad day looks like in the animal kingdom. And trust me, just because they don't have keys to fall into a drain hole doesn't mean they have it easier.

This is an old pic. He just got groomed yesterday. We don’t groom as often as we would like due to his age and the stress it causes him. We’ve found a new groomer who is patient with him, so we are doing better now.

#46 My Cat Got Stuck In The Wall On Christmas Day

The basement kitchenette ceiling was left open when it was built a few months ago, so he climbed onto the cupboards and into the ceiling before falling into the wall.

This was at my mom's house and he was stuck for about 2 hours while we tried to figure out his exact location and cut a hole to release him. He is perfectly fine and even tried to go back in the hole!

#112 "Get In The Box" She Said. "It'll Be A Quick Ride" She Said

The SPCA gave us the cardboard box because they said it will have his smells on it (my mom's carrier had her cat scent on it). Gina, the kid I'm nannying for, took the pic. She insisted that the box be strapped in with the seat belt. Buddy, the cat, didn't like the box (for obvious reasons) so he chewed himself an arm hole so he could hold hands with gina.
