    SO cute!
    Are his legs really long or is it the angle the pic has been taken at?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Glad shes not the only one then Kylie!! Does yours also talk to you? She miaows,purrs and then sort of trills when she doesnt understand something!!!

    I can have a 'conversation' with my cat Dennis, it's very sweet.

    Hi Linda,

    Yes, she has long legs - all the better to climb with...

    She hasn't got the hang of a normal purr yet. She sounds like she is dying. Most of the time it's because I haven't looked at her for 30 seconds and she cries, or if she has lost her toys, or other secret reasons. It's really screechie "merrrrrwhillll!!!"

    She is a massive purrie-pants in the mornings though, she snuggles up to my as close as she can get to my face ... and sounds like a tractor.
  • This thread is awsome..

    We've got a cavalier King Charles, he will give you a kiss & cuddle goodbye if you ask/tell him, right now he's sat at his food bowl crying because he wants me to feed him (Never have it's like a game he plays)!?!

    when we go to the vet he will not sit on the floor, has to sit on a chair next to me..

    he has this game he plays when he's on the sofa, he gets his ball/duck/rabbit/rudolph whoever he can find 1st then drops it on the floor and promptly turns to look at us as if to say "how did it get there" and we have to pick it up.. he can do this for hours..

    he's too cute

    My Burmese wont drink water out of her bowl, few dreggs left in the sink and she pounces and starts lapping them up, so I always have to leave a little water in the sink. Have to be careful with toilet rolls as well, never leave a sheet hanging down or the roll will be attacked and find shredded paper all over the floor.

    My cavalier king charles spaniel is nearly 12 weeks and he's developing such a funny little personality.

    When he eats all his food, he comes in to the living room, jumps up or sits in front of me and then runs back in to the kitchen to show me that he's ate it all like he's really proud, it's so cute. When he doesn't finish it all, he doesn't come and get me.

    That's so funny, my cavalier plays that game too! Everytime he drops it, his tail starts wagging like it's really exciting!

    I have not had time to read all replies yet but thought i would add mine!

    My dog Jack is 8 .. he sits and farts on the laminate which makes a squeaking noise and then jumps up to see where the noise has come from:rotfl: it only works when he is sat up , my mum never believed me until she was watching him for me and he done it at hers :)

    I love this thread, it really makes me laugh!

    Our 2 cats have loads of funny habits too. The littlest one plays fetch with hairbands - I've never seen a cat do this before (although reading this I see some of yours do it too!). It's hilarious, although invariably my arm will start to ache way before she decides she's had enough! She's like a puppy - she will come when you call her, and usually answers too to tell you she is on her way! :rolleyes:

    Our other big beast of a cat has developed a fascination with the bath mat, and will happily roll around on it for ages, despite there being at least 2 other rugs in the house that are much more accessible! He's also just discovered the bathtub, and this seems to be a new favourite place to sit.:rotfl:

    They really do rule the house, we are lucky if we get an edge of the sofa each to perch on while they sprawl all over the middle, and any kind of contact between us is not allowed. One of them will always pop up, budge us apart and sit between us!

    I love them to bits though, they are so much fun ;)

    My younger dog brings me a bone or toy every morning without fail and places it on my pillow gently right next to my face so it's there when I wake :smileyhea

    It's sweet, unless it's a particularly scraggy, smelly one, like that god awful crispy monkey toy she has!:rotfl:
