Getting stung by a bee or a wasp is never a laughing matter — but the stings can create quite the funny-looking allergic reactions. The funniest bee sting and wasp sting reactions tend to happen in cats — their cute faces are adorably swollen and we can’t help but giggle a bit.
These 30 cats were stung by bees or wasps — our hearts go out to them, but we also can’t help but let out a chuckle when looking at them.
It’s okay, you can laugh — we won’t judge you.
