These pets are just a bunch of big babies (and don't we love it)

If humans squeezed themselves into a football or cheerleading uniform they'd obviously outgrown, or came home from a long day of work and climbed into their old crib for a night's rest, we'd mock them remorselessly. Yet when animals, such as the adorable creatures in this photo gallery, do exactly that, it is just about the cutest thing in the world.  Maybe it's the freedom from negative body image (you won't catch any cats or dogs squeezing into boxes and getting angry at their love handles — they're angry at the box for stupidly being so small) or maybe it's the proof that animals, just like humans, have favorite places and friends they never really outgrow.
