Two thirds of American households count at least one pet as part of the family -- and one study has even found that we may choosebreeds that actually resembleus.
But sometimes that resemblance goes beyond just looks, and pets start picking up some funny human behavior. From taking a bubble bath to grabbing an ice-cold beer, here are a few of our faves from scouring the web (use your common sense, though -- some of these are definitely not safe to try at home with Fido!).
They Use The Toilet
No need for a litter box, some kitties are just too civilized for that (and pups too). On the toilet they go, hopefully they know to leave the seat down when they're done.
You might think you need a special doggie door in order for pets to access the outside world, but some pets know how to come and go as they please, using any old door there is.
Pets Go Boating
Yep, some dogs were born with sea legs. And while they love to soak in the sea air and look out at the vast blue water, they still know well enough to wear their life vest.
Pets Care About Fashion
Pets like to strut their stuff on the street -- just like us. We've all seen the huge variety of pet clothes and accessories, from sunglasses and booties to raingear and swarovski crystal jewelry -- even doggie perfume is on the market now.
They Get Plastic Surgery
While it might seem hard to believe, some pets are going under the knife for plastic surgeryor other seemingly cosmetic procedures -- botox, braces, tummy tucks and even silicon "stand-ins" for neutered pups. It may
Pets Love To Play Sports, Just Like We Do
Well, maybe not just like us. Their unorganized sports probably have a lot fewer rules, but the goal is the same -- get the ball!
They Wear Hilarious Hats
Like a few of our favorite UK ladies, pets are classing it up these days with some cute and cooky hats to spruce up any occasion.
Pets Cuddle With Each Other
No one can deny the simple joy of a cuddle, and neither can our pets -- call it puppy love. While they love cozying up to their human friends, they also seek that closeness from one another by spooning, cuddling and sitting close.
They Fly In Pet-Only Planes
We've all seen those frequent flier pets under the seat next to us. And there's even an airline that flies just for pets -- no humans on board besides those working. Looks like this pup prefers the window seat.
They Wear Seat Belts In The Car
We should all take note from this pooch and be sure to buckle up.
They Watch TV
Sometimes cats can be couch potatoes, too. While he may be amused with your regular prime-time schedule (Discovery Channel please!), some companies have started manufacturing pet-friendly DVDs.
A California high-end car dealership “congratulated” NBA legend LeBron James for all to see on Instagram about his "purchase." LeBron James begs to differ.
