Woof — it’s been a looooooong year.
Yet, despite some pretty ruff (sorry) news stories that came out in 2024, we’re hoping that our weekly roundups of the funniest dog and cat tweets were a purr-fect (sorry, again) escape.
So as a little holiday treat, here are 50 of the funniest tweets we’ve featured in our roundups in 2024.
We Shih Tzu not.
Just a reminder that we did not write these tweets, we merely curated them. So, if any posts truly make you howl, we sincerely hope you click on that tweet and follow the person who brought a little bit of levity to your day. (And if you are boycotting X, then check to see if they’re posting on BlueSky!)
And to all the pets featured in these hilarious nuggets online, we appreciate you, too! So, we’re saying thanks in a way you can truly comprehend: Bark, bark, and pspspsps.
(And if you want more pet tweets, there is no need to beg! You can check out last year’s 50 funniest tweets about dogs and cats here — or check out our weekly roundup here.)
imagine you wake up every day in room-sized bed. you are gently lifted from the covers and dressed in warmest sweaters each morning. your favourite foods are brought to you. you have no bills, no job, no responsibilities. but you are a chihuahua, so you are blind with rage.

I know I’m far from the first person to say this, but the “I hate cats” to “I found this perfect baby angel in the trash and I *will* take a bullet for her” pipeline is one of the few pure things left on this earth pic.twitter.com/8Gp2kPj6U6

Woke up at 3am to find my cat eating a slice of my pizza on my chest. The pizza was downstairs in the kitchen. Dragged it upstairs to eat it off my body.

My 3y/o is the only girl at her small daycare. I was thrilled when she started talking about her new friend Piper and how much they loved to play. Every day for months: Piper this, Piper that.
Finally I asked the daycare lady about maybe scheduling a playdate.
Piper is a cat.

My dog is really picky on where she poops. For instance, she will only choose a lawn where the homeowner is outside to make eye contact with me.
