Animals That Really Want To Get Back Inside The House (How Could Anyone Deny These Faces?)
While some pets can't wait to explore the great outdoors, others are just as eager to come back inside. And since they can’t knock or ring the doorbell, they’ve come up with some creative—and often hilarious—ways to get their humans' attention. Whether it’s climbing doors or pulling funny faces, these determined animals sure know how to make an entrance.
Free Teddy Bear If You Let Me In
This adorable pup is making a heartfelt attempt to get back inside—by offering a gift. Holding a teddy bear gently in her mouth, it's as if she’s asking, "Will this sweet gesture earn me a spot back indoors?"
Rather than barking or scratching, she’s gone with a more tender approach—appealing to your emotions. With that precious face and such a charming tactic, who could possibly say no?
Spider-Cat
This determined cat has taken things to the next level—climbing the screen door in a dramatic attempt to get back inside! Clinging with both front and back claws, she's suspended in what has to be an awkward and uncomfortable pose.
Surely she knows scaling the screen won’t open the door, which means it’s all about grabbing her human’s attention. And if her impressive spider-cat stunt doesn’t do the trick, that eerie little grin just might seal the deal!
Not Even Trying To Be Sneaky
While some wild animals sneak into homes by hiding and slipping in unnoticed, this bold raccoon has no interest in being subtle.
Standing upright and staring directly inside, he looks like he's politely asking, "Mind letting me in?" With his dark fur blending into the surroundings, it’s easy to imagine the homeowners were startled when they finally spotted a curious face peeking through the glass!
We're All Waiting
We might never find out if cats, dogs, and chickens can actually talk to one another, but this moment makes a strong case for interspecies teamwork. Together, the crew—a puppy, a kitten, and two chickens—seem perfectly in sync with one shared goal.
All eyes are fixed in the same direction, likely locking onto the homeowner in a collective, silent appeal to be let inside. The kitten's even risen up on its hind legs to get a better look, showing just how serious they all are about the mission!
Look Into My Eyes
This cat seems to be attempting mind control to get back inside. Standing upright on her hind legs with her front paws resting on the door, she's locked into an intense, unblinking stare.
Her expression is oddly serious, eyes fixed straight ahead—likely on her human—almost as if she’s silently chanting, "Look into my eyes." If she’s aiming to hypnotize her way indoors, she’s definitely giving it her best shot!
The Curious Squirrel
They say curiosity killed the cat, but in this case, it's a squirrel who's a bit too curious for its own good. Usually, squirrels dart away as soon as someone gets within a few feet of them.
But this little guy seems completely at ease, standing just a window away from the homeowner. He's almost pressing his face against the glass and looks genuinely interested in entering the house! Perhaps he’s more of a domestic squirrel after all.
That's Not Funny
The expression on this cat's face clearly shows that she is not impressed. With her flattened eyebrows and a frown, she’s giving off a look that says, "Are you serious?"
Judging by the position of the owner's hand, it seems likely that he just playfully tapped her nose through the glass door. Clearly, the cat doesn’t find the joke amusing—at all. To her, that closed door is no laughing matter.
Maybe If I Stand Like A Human They'll Let Me In
This boxer is doing everything he can to stand taller as he peeks into the house. It almost looks like he's trying to stand upright like a human, hoping it’ll convince the owner to let him in.
You can see the strain in his neck muscles as he stretches to lift his head higher. His gaze is likely level with the owner’s, so perhaps he’s trying to make eye contact to persuade them into opening the door.
This Raincoat Is Not A Proper Shelter!
While some dogs can be overly dramatic about being left outside, this one has a valid reason to be upset. The rain is coming down so heavily that the patio is completely flooded, and this tiny chihuahua is barely 6 pounds.
Though the owner did outfit the pup with a cute pink raincoat, it hardly compares to the comfort of being inside. The poor dog is probably thinking, "You've got to be kidding me."
Get Me AWAY From This Deer!
This kitten is clearly not a fan of the Bambi lookalike beside him. While Disney movies make it seem like all animals adore gentle deer, that's not the case here. The little feline appears terrified, meowing at the owner as though pleading to be let inside.
Meanwhile, the doe seems just as eager to get inside, though her interest comes from curiosity rather than fear. It’s unclear how the owner will manage to let the pet in while keeping the wild animal out..
Bet You Can't Ignore THIS Face!
This husky seems to have exhausted all the usual ways to get his owner's attention, so now he's resorting to a more theatrical approach. With his nose smushed against the glass, tongue out, and eyes wide, he’s putting on a performance that’s hard to ignore.
It’s clear he knows how to work a crowd—or at least his human. After barking and jumping with no success, he settled on making goofy faces instead. Honestly, it’s a clever tactic, and we’re hoping it earned him a ticket back inside.
I. See. You.
This cat has absolutely nailed the intense glare of disapproval. With a look that could pierce glass, he seems to be scowling—clearly not pleased about being stuck outside. Whether he's a stray or just a neighborhood visitor, one thing's for sure: he’s not shy about making his presence known.
Adding to the drama, he’s got his paws up by his face like he’s blocking the sun to peer inside more clearly. If anyone’s near that window, they’ll know without a doubt—this kitty wants in, and he’s not asking politely.
Let Me In!!!
This kitten looks like she's caught somewhere between shock and panic as she peers through the glass door. Her eyes are so wide, it’s impossible to miss the full ring of color surrounding her pupils.
With her mouth open mid-meow, you can almost hear the frantic cries coming through the glass. She’s not politely requesting entry—she’s making it very clear that someone needs to open that door immediately!
Good Manners Ought To Do The Trick
This sweet cat must have learned how to sit properly by modeling after her owner. She's sitting on her bum with her hind legs in front like a human. We must say, this feline has great posture.
It's as though the cat thinks that sitting upright will display her good manners and win her the right to come inside. She isn't wrong. A cat that looks like it's about to pounce is much less likely to get let in than one looking like an obedient schoolchild.
Nevermind The Fact That I'm A Cougar
This cougar isn't afraid to get up close and personal with the neighbors. She's sitting right on their doorstep waiting for an invitation inside. Either she admired the owner's taste in home decor or she's looking for a midnight snack.
Either way, there's no way the homeowner is going to open that door, especially with the cougar's mouth open mid-roar! We wouldn't know whether to be fascinated or horrified! At least it makes for a great story.
The Melodramatic Dog
This dog could win an award for the most melodramatic performance of the year. He's not only standing on his hind legs, but he's in a full backbend so he's looking straight behind him.
The canine's mouth is open as he lets out what must have been a desperate howl. With such a dramatic pet in the house, we can only imagine what the neighbors must be thinking. At least the owner isn't falling for their dog's act.
Climbing The Window Grids
This cat is so bent on getting inside that she climbed up the window grid to get higher up on the door. She got up high enough to be taller than the door handle! We hope that the owner had the sense to lock the door because this cat could practically grab the handle and open it right up!
The feline's open mouth and bared claws make her look pretty intimidating, so we would want to be on the other side of the door if she did get it open.
