My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it’s raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like “Daaad, it’s raining” and starting the cycle again.
My new angel, a 2 year old female 6 pound spayed chihuahua, humps her toys like she owes them money. I guess I’m just glad she’s getting extra cardio. Still awkward AF when we lock eyes.
humps her toys like she owes them money
Perfunctorily and with disdain & regret?
Something like that
My friend’s male chihuahua only humps his toys if he knows someones watching
My cat got an unexpected chilli experience. I was cooking curry, and chopping up a bunch of peppers, and went back to my computer momentarily to double check something in the recipe. Cat hopped up on to my lap and, when I wasn’t looking, licked my fingers. Poor wee guy had no idea what was happening to him and scarpered for the bathroom sink, where he yelled at me to please come turn the tap on
(I know chilli oil is quite bad for cats; he was okay after this brief but very unpleasant experience)
I let my cat Té (tea in spanish) smell a teabag once, since he always sat by me when i brewed them. He stared at it for a few seconds then punched the shit out of it, spilled it’s herbs all over the floor then ran away with the now empty teabag on it’s mouth, as if it were a toy. There’s probably some deep symbolism to be made here or something.
I’ve had a somewhat similar experience. I learned that mint is related to catnip while trying to figure out why on Earth my cat would have dunked his entire god damn head into my mug of mint green tea. I didn’t name mine quite so fittingly as you did though
He also has a brother called Masita (cookie) who loves pastries. Their sister, Limón (lemon), is a sworn enemy of citrics though.
oh yeah, mine expects me to fix the weather too. or to open the window to the other outside, the one that doesnt have rain.
she once caught a mouse without hurting it (much), brought it inside and then sat on it. just sat on the mouse. and the mouse just cowered there, sunk in her chest fur.
Dog ate 24 cup cakes that were cooling on the counter, and 23 cup cake wrappers.
What happened with the 24th wrapper?
It remained as the sole evidence of the existence of the cup cakes.
It was left as a warning to others
We have two doors that go into the garden, one in the dining room one in the kitchen, if we let our rescue Collie out of one she will wait by the other to be let in. Collies are smart, ours is defective.
Maybe she came from a food service establishment. Does she also yell ‘behind’ or ‘corner’ when moving around the house?
My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk
My cat loves sleeping with his face pressed inside my armpit or as close as possible in the bend of my arm. Sometimes, he can’t breathe that well, so he does the swimmer’s thing where he pulls up his head, takes a deep breath, and then goes back in 😂
My cat also loves the bend of my arm. I think she’s getting a big snootfull of mom scent, and it gets me emotional that that is her happy place.
“It was raining in the garden. Mog thought, ‘Perhaps the sun is shining in the street’. When the milkman came she ran out. The milkman shut the door. The sun was not shining in the street after all. It was raining. “
Aww, poor little Mog! I hope someone let her right back in! That’s totally accurate, though, lol
Whatever this is from sounds cute. :) Thank you for sharing it with us here!
It’s from Mog The Forgetful Cat by Judith Kerr
Also:
“She forgot that she had a cat flap. She wanted to go back into the house, but she couldn’t remember how. In the end she sat outside the kitchen window and meowed until someone let her in.”
Once my sisters dog tried to jump on the settee, with his blanket in his mouth, couldn’t grip to jump up and then fell back down.
My cat gets his claws stuck in things.
No, they’re not overgrown. Hes able to fully retract them out of the way. He just. Doesn’t.
Not once, ever, have I seen him relax his leg and calmly lift the paw off to unstick the claws. Instead he only ever pulls harder and more violently, which makes retraction impossible due to how the force pulls on the claws. He will struggle more and more fervently until whatever thread, carpet or rope he is stuck in, is the thing that gives.
If he’s really stuck, I sometimes help him by pulling on the stuck limb to give the claws enough slack to come unstuck. This has not led him get the hint.
Is he orange?
He sure is
I also have an orange cat that does this, though not to such an extent. What is the connection?
as a non-cat person, lmao at this Q&A
We adopted a yellow-headed amazon (parrot) in his 40s. For months he was shy and kept to himself.
One day, seemingly out of the blue, he began whistling songs, cat-calling, saying his name, asking for a cracker, etc. He had like an entire repertoire!
Most unexpected, funniest thing that’s happened with any of our pets.
Close second is a cat that would play fetch, like a dog!
I’ve got a cat like that.
Also taught him to “come”.
Gross
Wrong spelling for that joke to work.
the inverted commas do raise questions though
Stand on top of the door. Or pray to a light bulb
My first cat started his life living with my friend in her flat. Her kitchen was long with a very slippery floor. The cat would stand by the kitchen door with a toy at his feet, begging someone to throw it into the kitchen for him. He’d run, jump into the kitchen, skid along the floor, grab the toy on his way past and turn around at the end of the skid so he could run back to you with it to throw it again.
I had a large bag on the footrest in my living room. My current overlord jumped into the bag which immediately slid off the footrest and onto the floor upside down. He attacked me for the next few minutes when I tried to move it.
My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it’s raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like “Daaad, it’s raining” and starting the cycle again.
My cat does this, except he goes all the way out, stands under the one leaky bit of the guttering 3 stories up, comes in soaked, yells until you dry him off and repeats. It’s gotten to the point we just lock him in if it’s raining. That way he yells about being imprisoned for a few minutes then goes and has a nap until the next meal time.
