Those photos are just hilarious. I particularly like the pug who didn't realise he was going to the vet!!
If only they could talk, or maybe it should be, if only we could understand them when they do!

LOL!
The little dog under the blanket has his 'sad trance stare' on. Misty could do a good one of those, and usually did whenever I had visitors round. They would ask "Is she okay??" I'd say "Yes, she's fine." They wouldn't believe me. "Maybe she's not well...?" they would say; or "Is she dying?"
The unspoken part of the dialogue between Misty and me went rather like this:
"I am willing to endure this situation of gas-bagging humans, but the larger part of my consciousness has now transported itself to another dimension. Let me know when they go home or fall unconscious from lack of oxygen....and I'll be right there!"
As soon as they had gone she would leap up and say "Okay let's go out now! Where's that frisbee?"
Poor little cat who didn't get any presents on the special red cloth (although it does look as if he has just eaten a treat there. -Crumb evidence...)

I think it was four months before I could get the right cat chow. Not once did Annie ever make the best of it. She ate, but she was very grudging about it. She certainly never let up her look at me every time she approached the dish.
Maybe Misty was very perceptive and could read your feelings and was expressing them for you.

Hilarious!
Our cat Littleman is a lot like your Annie. If he doesn't get his Ragu in the morning there will be hell to pay! I can actually feel him staring holes through me while I sleep, if wants something before I get up.
Payne has a habit of sitting across the room with a huge stream of drool going if we're having something especially yummy to eat and she hasn't gotten her fair share.
Guilt trip!!!!!
#2 totally cracked me up. That kitty just looks so pitiful, or is it just THAT relaxed??

haha! Sometimes our animals are very good at openly displaying what we might have in ourselves but have repressed.....
My Jack Russell, Toby used to pee up against door-frames....the bank particularly. He used to get me into trouble umpteen times.
And yes I was tranced-out too as my guests would talk for a long time about somebody's cousin's husband's best friend's wife.... But I managed to show some teeth and say "Right...." at appropriate moments.
But Misty clinched it. "I think I have to take her out now," I would say, "Or she might pee/throw up in the house..." ('throw up' was always a good one) The visitors would nod solemnly and go to fetch their coats.
Secretly we had a deal going on.

LOL Catherine! All you need is a snake. No dialogue necessary!
But I would be very interested in the snakes. And would visit you to see them. I think snakes like things to be peaceful.
#2 also made me wonder...how could he/she? be comfortable like that?
