It’s National Pet Month: Pictures Of Your Faves With Their Favorite Furry Friends
By Victoria Uwumarogie · Updated May 20, 2021

Of all the things going on, you may have up and forgotten that the month of May is National Pet Month. It’s a time to take note of the wonderful ways in which pets impact our lives. Yes, even cats.

There are a number of stars who’ve been pictured with pets and love them, but chances are, they may not adore their dogs and feline friends at much as the celebs we’ve gathered here do. Take a look and show some love to all the furry animals out there before the month is over — and after, of course.
