What do they do?

NewShadow

I was just thinking last night... pets are funny.

I mean, laugh out loud funny.

And then they get so cute when they look at you, when you're laughing, and kinda say: "Well what do you think you're laughing about?"

Or is it just me?

I was thinking it would be nice to have a place where we can share the things our pets do/ just did that made us smile (or go Awww, or go , or go :rotfl: ), without running the risk of being labeled a crazy cat person by the people at work. Which, BTW, I think is very unfair as they go on about little stinky babies all the time.

So, I guess I start.

MissyMoo (<--- in my Avi), has a habit of walking across the bed in the middle of the night. Tiny little 1.5kg cat, purring loud enough to wake the dead...until you touch her.

I have no idea why, but the second you touch her anywhere (and trust me, she enjoys the tickle), she stops purring. Goes dead silent. And in a couple of minutes curls up to sleep. Odd cat :rotfl:

This is compared to her brother Dexter (4kg tom). You touch Dexter anywhere (even scruff him) he starts purring, you say his name, purring - Once I looked at him across the room, he noticed - started purring and walked over to headbutt me. Stupid soppy teddy

My lab stays with us in the living room until we go to bed. She has a proper comfy dog bed on the floor in there yet once the last person goes up she takes herself out to the hallway and lays in front of the front door!
She has done this every night and is this only time she sleeps there,

My dog really makes us laugh. He is a large breed and very clumsy and accident prone, so we have taken to looking up definitions of words such as 'chaos' 'havoc' and 'mayhem' and say that's him alright!

Also, if my OH and I are feeling, how do you say.... 'romantic' our mutt will take it upon himself to get his toy and put it between us to play fetch. I threw it once hoping he would take it and be occupied elsewhere in another room, but oh no, he comes tottering back in with the toy expecting us to play fetch!

There was one occasion where I attempted to sing and he just gave a deep sigh I immediately quietened down! When it's bed time, he pretends he cannot hear me, so I will keep calling him and telling him but he has selective hearing. Then, there is a laser light I use to make him chase, all I have to do is rattle it and then he perks up as if he is going to play again!

Awww, sounds like she is defending the house.

Our funny cat stories mostly involve food. They have wide enthusiasms. One is crazy for melon, preferably watermelon but others will do. Coming into the kitchen to see him with his head stuck inside one that had been cut up and left on a plate with an upturned bowl on top of it to keep him out as rather amusing. This same cat likes corn on the cob. I didn't realise how much he liked until a couple of nights ago he came to share mine, chomping away on one that I held in one hand whilst eating my own one with the other hand, he was growling like they do with a mouse.

Ah, this same one caught a flower when he was a baby. He came in, growling and looking proud and we thought he had caught something really big, it had a long tail. Then we saw it was a flower with a stalk hanging down. That was rather special.

Our mini schnauzer dictates when we go to bed, sad but true.

My cats are very boring and spend most of their time sleeping on the beds and always have done!

One of them snores very loudly though and seems to have an obsession with chasing plastic bags and ripping them to shreds when she gets the chance. Apart from sleeping lots and eating, they do very little else!

My cat Barnes is infatuated with the 'Cat next door'. as soon as he is let out , he immediately looks up to neighbours bedroom window in the hopes SHE will be there. you can tell straight away if she is (or isn't)! if she is there - he struts across the gravel and inspects our garden perimeter, then sits on the top of the steps and gazes up with a lovelorn expression on his face..............he does that very well being a flat-faced Persian. oh, and she totally ignores him. always has, yet he doesn't give up - he does everything except magic tricks to get her to notice him. He has even been known to 'serenade' her!!!! he particularly likes to go out just as soon as he has been groomed as he knows he looks his best!
if she isn't there, he just sits on the decking near the house and looks dejected, picks his way over the gravel and has a half hearted perimeter check - then comes indoors.

I look after horses and one of my charges is a Belgian Draft called Pedro. If I tie him up to muck him out he puts his front legs through the fence to give them a good scratch. The look on his face says it all!

I was laughing at my Hound today.
He was sat 'supervising' DH who was repairing the fence, but it was very windy, and the breeze was blowing his ears and jowls all over. He looked like he was really enjoying it too.
I've barely seen him tonight, as we put his extra comfy bed in his crate in the kitchen, and he's stayed in there all night. Can hear him snoring though, had to turn the telly up lol.

My Eric is 17 and has lost most of his hearing. Because he can't hear himself he has developed a really loud meow! He sits on the upstairs landing with his bottom and tail overhanging the edge of the stair. He can't hear me coming up stairs so when I touch him he's startled and emits such a loud cry, I'm sure the neighbours must hear him !

My two adult cats don't get up to much, apart from the falling Off the windowsill.
The kitten is at the lets see how far I can jump stage. The walking away and nonchalant wash after a miss always makes me laugh.
She also has recall but only for me or my dd, say her name, she comes running!


The cutest thing she does is if we don't shut the back door properly when going to the freezer* she just sits in the doorway looking at you as if to say hurry up and come back in I'm cold.


*freezer is located in a brick outhouse that used to be the loo and coal shed.
