Just a load of animals with pancakes because humans are weird

You're welcome.

Humans aren't content with tossing pancakes and eating them in a civilised fashion on Pancake Day. They must also put pancakes on their pets.

On Pancake Day, people are sharing photos of pancake #FoodPorn, but they're also sharing photos that are guaranteed to brighten your day. People are sharing adorable -- and slightly weird -- photos of animals wearing and eating pancakes.

Here's a kitten eating miniature, kitten-sized pancakes.

Um, here's a hedgehog eating a pancake. You're welcome.

And, a cat checking out a blueberry-topped stack of pancakes. 😍

Here's a dog with a pancake that looks just like him.

Here's another blueberry-loving pet.

Pugs love pancakes too.

Oh nothing, just a rat called Rolo with a teeny-tiny pancake.

Happy Pancake Day one and all!
