    Its even funnier when the dog goes up and licks one of them after they have spent ages grooming, the look of sheer disgust on their faces is hilarious


    Oh yes...especially when the dog does it "on command" like "Zara, go and give Macius/Teddy/Fred/George a kissss". :A

    jeez - I would have loved to have seen either of my dogs (staffy and later the springer) give kisses or licks to the 'Cat from Hell'! Timmy terrorised every dog in the street including three dobermans (all penned together which to him was an invitation to walk over thier cage plonk his butt down and drop his tail through the mesh and wave it enticingly at them! of course he knew they couldnt reach him! afforded him hours of amusement!
    I never needed to get revenge on him as he was a real '!!!!!-cat' with me! my son however, used to ambush him with a water pistol! then wondered why the cat would take revenge!

    It's very satisfying to get one over on a Cat because they are so clever and it's rare you can get something past them!

    I do revenge in my sleep. Annie sleeps on one of the bottom corners of the bed for some reason only known to her. She also sometimes walks across me when I'm asleep to walk on the cupboard next to the bed (why??? nothing interesting on there, and it isn't a cat walkway either!). Anyway, apparently, sometimes I turn over and inadvertently kick her off, or push the duvet out from under her. It isn't done on purpose... honest... I'm asleep!

    Oh, Teddy sleep on the bottom of my bed, on top of the duvet and also there is a blanket there. No blanket - Teddy sits and cries till I put one.

    And yes, pulled the duvet from under him several times....

    Accidently of course.

    Macius - the mamy monster jumps (and bounces) right on top of me the second I feel that I am falling asleep, then walks all over me to make HIMSELF comfortable. Falls asleep on top of me and promptly falls off when I turn in my sleep - only to jump on me again and doing his walk.digging into the duvet on top of me to again make himself comfortable...

    George sleeps wherever and so does Fred. Zara on the floor in the doorway...

    And about teasing pets etc.. Love this one ;)

    Like laying there, listening to the noisy slurping noises as the idiot cat painstakingly rearranges all his fluff, waiting until he has finished grooming and is half asleep, then -

    Deliberately fluffing up every bit that he has done so he looks like he's had an electric shock or met the hound of the Baskervilles outside his litter box.


    That'll teach him for waking me up with his ablutions.

    Hahaha I've done exactly the same thing before! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Or another of my favourites is to keep stroking the bit they're washing...until I get swiped by clawed paw hehe :D
