When you get a pet, you’re (hopefully!) their buddy for life. Many people see their pets as family members. In fact, a 2024 study revealed that 73% of owners think of their pet as a best friend. And when you’re that close, it’s natural to spend as much time together as you can.
But no one is as clingy or ignorant of the concept of personal space as the pets on this list. Bored Panda has scoured the internet and found you the most adorable, hilarious, and cute pics of pets invading their owners’ privacy. And they did it with the most adorable look on their faces.

#67 Working At Home Is Proving To Be More Difficult Than I Thought
My new coworkers are dumb, have no concept of personal space, and one even threw up in the break room yesterday. I tried to address this by calling an office meeting, but I don’t think I got through to them.
There’s no HR because it’s such a small work environment; otherwise, I’d have been fired because I refuse to wear pants.

#84 Some People Get No Privacy From Dogs And Cats, I Get None From This Guy
He is a 2 and a half year old Eclectus named Eko. He’s pretty clingy and needs to follow me around EVERYWHERE. Wish he would be a little bit more independent, but he’s cute, so it’s ok.

#91 “You’re 30?”, “You’re Single And Live Alone?”, And “Wait, How Many Cats?” Are My Free-Spaces For Thanksgiving Bingo This Year
I am somehow a full-blown male Snow White in terms of cats. There are like 4 or 5 stray cats that come hang out with me behind my restaurant after we close each night.
I always feed them and it’s usually a different cat each night, so it’s pretty fun to see which of my buddies is out back waiting to hang out when we close!
