Celebrity pets that OWN Instagram – who’s the most pawsome of them all?

At Christmas time there’s nothing better than spending time with our loved ones – and we’re not just talking about humans here.

Yep, for many of us it’s a season where we’ll be hanging out with our beloved pets and spoiling them with festive treats, embarrassing antler ears and much more. *feels all warm and cosy inside*

This totally applies to lots of our favourite animal-loving celebrities too; after all, some of them have such awesome fur babies that they’re actually our main reason for following said star on Insta.

Amidst the frequent doom and gloom of 2016 it’s been fun to see these famous pets take over social media with their cute antics – but just which star creature has proved the most pawsome of them all?

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite celebrity pets to try and decide. It’s a tough job indulging in all this cuteness but, y’know, it’s got to be done…

Caroline Flack’s cat Waffle

Anyone that follows Flackers will know that her Scottish Fold cat Waffle is a STAR. He’s regularly seen popping up around her home in all sorts of unconventional positions and places, and has a freakishly human-like sitting pose.

In fact Waffle’s antics have even sparked comments such as ‘Is this cat for real???’. Oh he’s real alright – so real that he’s even on Money Management’s books just like mum Caroline.

Lewis Hamilton’s dogs Roscoe and Coco

Even non-Formula 1 fans will have most likely seen snaps of Lewis’ bulldogs Roscoe and Coco travelling the world with their famous dad.

The fact that Lewis missed out on the championship this year hasn’t stopped the pooches from enjoying themselves – over the course of 2016 they’ve been snapped flying on private jets, modelling quirky outfits and generally living the life. They’ve even got their own account with 104,000 followers.

Amanda Seyfried’s dog Finn

Actress Amanda’s beloved hound Finn is a bit of an established Instagram ledge and rightly so.

The rescue dog is her best pal and they do EVERYTHING together. Like Roscoe and Coco, Finn has his very own page where he does stuff like try funny clothes on, take selfies with Amanda and hang out with pup pals.

Extra kudos must be awarded for the fact that he recently showed off an AWARD – he’s a big deal, basically.

Taylor Swift’s cats Meredith and Olivia

So it’s been a pretty busy year for Taylor – involving tours, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston romances and lots of squad activities – but for us the highlight has been seeing her Scottish Fold cats Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson do LOLS stuff on Insta.

Her videos of Olivia trying to open things whilst Meredith watches on with the ultimate death stare are possibly our favourite thing in life.

The Beckhams’ dog Olive

Well with such an A-list family this pooch was always going to be a social media star. Olive started showing us what a refined dog she is earlier this year by posting a VERY fancy shot in a snazzy jacket and posing for arty pictures with Brooklyn.

She’s also proved she’s a supportive soul by getting on Cruz’s newly-launched Instagram following the release of his debut single – this pup knows an opportunity to get spotted when she sees it.

Nick Grimshaw’s dogs Pig and Stinky Baby

Pig Grimshaw has long been one of our favourite things about Insta and then her dad Nick went and upped the cuteness this summer by adopting little Stinky Baby from Battersea Dogs Home. These two alone are adorable enough but as a duo they’ve reached a level of sweetness that rivals even the cutest of Insta pets.

We defy you not to say ‘awww’ at them having a bath, trying out a new bed and enjoying a nap side-by-side.

So who’s the most purrfect or woof-erly (sorry, we’ll stop now) of them all? Okay, we’ll admit it – we TOTALLY can’t call it because they’re all so almost dangerously adorable.
