They do my taxes
One of our cats HATES when my wife isn’t wearing enough clothing. I can walk around fully nude no problems. My wife wears short shorts and he will get visibly upset and start attacking her until I come defend her. If she puts on pants he goes right back to normal. Doesn’t attack people and is generally pretty chill otherwise. Our cat has the political leanings of the Taliban apparently.
My cat plays fetch with bottle caps.
One of my cats plays fetch with paper balls, but only of it’s the right kind of paper.
Another cat can catch treats in her mouth or paws.
Third cat steals hair scrunchies and puts them in the water bowl.
One of my dogs is going blind. Since she can’t find us anymore, when she wants a treat she sits on the rug by the back door and lifts her paw to shake.
My dog can’t walk around corners.
If she approaches straight on, she can walk right through an area, if she is tight to the wall, she can’t / won’t walk into the room. She stops and whines and will try two or three times to move past the corner.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That’s what my dog does sometimes…and then when we come to check, there’s a cat waiting in ambush for her around the corner
Ha. No cat. We’re pretty sure it’s the shadows.
Our dog will only walk out of the kitchen backwards. We caught him the other day walking into the kitchen backwards, turning and out again - all backwards.
He is fine in any other room/situation.LOL, is it because he’s been chased out of the kitchen a bunch of times and he moves out backwards as you shove him back with your legs?
My dog has to smell my breath after I eat/drink something. If I’m eating a sandwich, he’ll watch the whole time, and when I’m done, he’ll hop up and start sniffing/licking for crumbs.
Then he’ll stand on my lap, and put his nose up to my face, sniffing and kinda wagging his tail. I’ll open my mouth wide, and start exhaling, and he’ll eagerly start sniffing riiiiiiiiiight up against my mouth, wagging and kinda shifting his weight on his front legs. And if you don’t listen closely enough to his sniffing…
… He’ll sneeze in your mouth. 😂 He makes my friends do it too, and I do warn them about keeping their mouth open too long.
Beyond that, the only other weird thing he does (besides his crazy yoga poses he does in blankets on the couch) is lick the floor. If I’m cooking, he’s standing by the stove, ready to lunge at anything that falls to the floor. But when I’m done cooking, he’ll basically walk the entire kitchen floor, focusing primarily by the sink and stove, licking every speck of oil and crumb he can find. You’d think I never feed him based on how he acts towards food, but here we are. 😂
He nabbed some chili seeds off the floor one night before I could get them, and I asked him how they tasted while he’s walking around the kitchen, licking his chops over and over. Moved to his water bowl, drank a good chunk of that, moved to the living room, laid down there for a bit… All the while, licking his chops, trying to get the spicy to go away. And then he came back for more 😂
One of my chihuahuas does this too but doesn’t sneeze.
My cat would respond when my wife or I sneezed. Anthropomorphically, it was similar to how we blessed him when he sneezed. We adopted another cat who does the same when one of us coughs.
I say Bless you to my cats when they sneeze. They look at me weird like I was rude if I don’t
My dog stands next to a chair or the couch and rests her head on it while looking up at me with puppy dog eyes until I come pet her. She loves it when I scratch her throat and will lean onto it super hard to the point where she gags. If there’s anything at all laying on the floor - a blanket, a sock, kid’s toy, paper bag, whatever - she will lay directly on it. If she’s to big she’ll at least put her head on it. If I’m not paying attention to her she’ll sit right next to me and paw at my leg until I pet her. She follows me around the house like a shadow, especially if anybody is over or if she can tell I’m getting ready to go somewhere. I can’t play hide and seek with my kids because she always gives away my hiding spot.
I don’t have a pet right now, but when I grew up we had an amazing black cat with thick but short fur and tuffs of hair on her ears.
Anyway, she always wanted to drink water from the shower when she was thirsty, this despite having a full water bowl.
It would get to the point where she would come into your room and get your attention and lead you to the shower and look at it and then at you until you turned it on to wet the floor so she could drink.
She was absolutely crazy for my mom’s apple pie, it was the only time she ever jumped up on the living room table when we all sat around it, just to get a bite of apple pie, she knew very well that she wasn’t allowed to be on the table, yet the allure of the apple pie was too strong…
She was an amazing huntress, there were days when she came home with two fieldfares that she had killed, one time when she had been out all night (cats are legally allowed to free roam in Sweden) we opened the door and there was a tail from a squirrel laying on the porch, she was so effective that the birds posted lookouts for her and dive bombed her with birdshit.
She never made a fuzz when mom had to wash her after she had been shat on, to the point where she stayed in the bathtub and waited for my mom to get a towel to dry her off.
She hated being in your lap and would jump off at the first chance, but she always liked being where the rest of the family was, if we were watching a movie on the TV she would come down and lay on the rug in the living room with us.
Before we got her, I didn’t realize that cats could hiccup, I saw it once or twice, I heard a small hiccup sound and her entire body shook slightly and she looked increadibly confused when it happened.
She was an amazing huntress
Cats kill billions of animals every year on just the US, many more worldwide. They’ve wiped many species off the face of the Earth, and more are on the way. Please keep your cats inside.
Meh, if the law permits that cats may free roam, which they do in Sweden, I’ll let my cat outside.
This kind of selfish attitude is why humans are causing the fifth mass extinction of life in the history of the planet.
- I don’t make the rules, whine to the politicians.
- You seem unreasonably pissed off at something that happened 15+ years ago, calm down!
- I have not had a cat since the cat I described died, I now live in an apartment on the top floor with no private access to the ground, I believe cats should be able to go outside and explor, and since that is not an option, I will therefor wait untill I have better resoues to get a cat.
Do you need politicians to tell you to he a decent person? It didn’t happen, we’re in the middle of it.
What didn’t happen?
Are you telling me that you know my cat’s life better than me?
You are just ridiculous.
Try to eat things that will definitely kill him.
My kitty is young and wants to play fight but won’t scratch or bite me. I think she’s afraid I’ll get mad? Like, girl, you can maul my shit and I will keep going
Both are cats.
Kika thinks that human arms are made of rubber. She asks to be petted, and then gets further and further from you, and then looks at you with a “why did you stop?” face. If you stand up to get closer to her, she runs towards a specific corner of the house (that changes from time to time, currently her cardboard box), because apparently being petted there is the bomb.
Siegfrieda has some deep connection with… mats. She likes them so much that she never leaves them alone, they’re always out of the place and messy. The kitchen mat in special - sometimes she rolls herself into a makizushi with it. (And yet she still doesn’t know how to get inside her pocket-folded blanket by herself.)
