Prepare to be scared and then relieved. What the hell am I talking about, you’re probably asking yourself?

You’re about to see a collection of photos that people shared that almost gave them a heart attack because they stumbled upon their pets in very compromising and even horrifying positions…or so they thought.

It took them a closer look to actually figure out what was going on, and then they realized it was all good, but at first glance, some of them had their minds totally blown by what they encountered.

But at least all of us know now that all of these adorable fur-babies are just fine and that’s all that matters.

Let’s take a look at these shocking scenes!

1. What a vicious beast!

Oh…wait a second…

2. What happened to your arm?

That’s a crazy optical illusion.
