3. The Non-Cat/Non-Dog That You Don't Know How To Interact With

Sure they're cute, but you've never had much interaction with pets that aren't cats or dogs. Can you hold it? Does it like being pet? What is OK for it to eat? Maybe you'll just admire these guys from afar.

4. The Big Fluffy Hug Machine

This type of pet is usually a dog, but can also be a very large cat. This buddy is pretty much any animal that you immediately want to wrap your arms around and get lost in.

8. The Spoiled Little Prince

Kira / Cute or Not

There are many, and they are strong. These fellows are treated every day by their humans, and live in luxury. You kind of feel a little jealous seeing how well they are treated, but you'll never say it aloud.

9. The Shadow

10. The Lazy-Butt

Molly / Cute or Not

This pet in particular is the LAZIEST. They know their name, but won't come when you call. At any given moment they are sleeping. But they're so darn cute, you don't really mind.

11. The Instagram Star

Paquito / Cute or Not

13. The Surprisingly Interesting Fish

Sammy / Cute or Not

Sometimes you come across a fish that has something special about it. Maybe he swims a funny way or looks you in the eye with a knowing smile or teases the cat. Whatever the case may be, this fish is an interesting fish.

14. The Grumpy Old Man In An Animal's Body

18. The Cat Who Is More Of A Dog (And Vice Versa)

Susie / Cute or Not
