This is a gag trope where an animal sees something, mistakes it for another animal of its own species, and falls in love with it. The animal might catch on early on that its crush is actually an object, but then again, they may not. They may even try to mate with it. Quite often the animal is male and mistakes the object for a female, possibly due to the stereotype that men are active but women are passive, but female animals mistaking objects for male animals isn't too rare. An animal getting a gay crush on an object, however, is quite rare, due to gay and bi characters being less common in general. The object in question might be a toy animal or a picture of an animal, but it could also just be something not meant to be an animal at all, like a guinea pig mistaking a wig for another guinea pig. It may even be a celestial body, which could result in the animal trying to reach it. Occasionally played with by having a robot fall in love with an inanimate machine. Sometimes invoked by deliberately making an object look like an animal, or making a dummy animal, to attract another animal of the same species. Compare Interspecies Romance for when the love interest is not the same species but is a living, breathing creature, Cargo Ship for when characters are paired with objects in fanfiction, Companion Cube for when an inanimate object is treated like a person or pet, Imprinting for when a baby animal thinks a human is its parent (usually its mother), and Attractive Bent Species for when an animal falls for a human pretending to be an animal. |

Zigzagged in The Penguins of Madagascar, where one of the eponymous penguins is in love with a doll named "Ms. Perky". It'd be pretty odd if he thought she/it was another penguin, but he doesn't seem to think she/it is a human as the penguins are usually prejudiced against humans. He doesn't seem to realize it's a doll either, though. | |

Looney Tunes In the Bugs Bunny cartoon "The Greyhounded Hare", Bugs attends a dog race and falls in love with the mechanical rabbit, which is designed as a female. Seeing the dogs chase after "her", Bugs turns chivalrous and attacks them. After that, he gets electrocuted trying to kiss "her". The Wartime Cartoon "Ding Dong Daddy" is about a dog falling in love with a statue of a greyhound named Daisy. Every time he tries to kiss her, the statue gets struck by lightning, which makes him think she's a great kisser. When the statue gets smelted to make ammunitions, the dog wanders the factory until he finds the shell that Daisy got turned into. He gives the shell a kiss and it explodes. "She hasn't changed a bit!" |

In Sesame Street: A turtle falls in love with an empty shell, thinking it's a female turtle. When he sees that "she" isn't moving or breathing, he thinks "she" is dead, but then realises it's just an empty shell. Sam the Robot has gotten crushes on a toaster and blender. There was one episode where Artoo and Threepio guest starred, and Artoo fell in love with a fire hydrant. |

A Humboldt penguin named Grape-kun (1996 - 2017) at the Tobu Zoo grew affectionate towards a cutout of Hululu, an anthropomorphic girl based on his species. He would fight ferociously whenever zookeepers tried to remove the cutout and when they were forced to temporarily take it away during a storm for fear it would be destroyed or blow away, he became visibly stressed, forcing them to return it once the weather improved. He even took up a courtship stance near it at one point and was visited by Hululu's voice actress for a meet-and-greet. | |
