Pets are so strange

[zohmbee]

My cat's will perk up, growl and run out of the room to the window whenever my dog starts barking. My one cat must touch some part of my body when she's laying near me, and the other must climb up and moosh my chest. He's such a perv.

And the dog's just a moron; plain and simple.

my dogs run into my conservatory door. It's almost completely glass and it's never ever open. However, as soon as it's warm, my dogs want out there. We don't let them in there, ever. But that doesn't stop them trying. After a while, they start just running at the door. They do it with all the glass doors in the house that they want through.

my cat for some reason really likes to go into the closet, no matter how many times she's been locked in there.

You know that thing that cats do where they will knead something? (similar to kneading bread dough) That's probably what zohmbee means by "moosh".

OT: Let's see. Well, for come reason my fish will swim on its side. There's nothing wrong with it as far as I can tell. It's done that since I bought it, my other fish (who has since passed on) did that as well.

Also, if my dog sees something interesting on the tv she will run right up to it and practically press her nose to the screen. And keep in mind that this isn't a tiny dog, she's a 2 year old Dutch Shepherd.

Pets are strange. They are animals that have been bred in such a way that they are entirely or almost entirely dependent on the existence of humans. We keep them, spend extra money on food for them, and various other things that are out of the way. In exchange we get varying degrees of affection ranging from large amounts in the case of many mammals, to little to no affection in the case of many rodents, reptiles and fish.

Take my lizard as an example. I love having her around, it's great. On the other hand, I have to spend a little extra every week because of her. She is incapable of showing me affection, the closest she gets being that she doesn't shy away from me most of the time and is wiling to sit still resting on my fist. She doesn't smell too good (as many pets are) and her terrarium is a hassle to clean up.

Now take fish for example. They are quite incapable of affection. They lack the memory for it. That, and well, they're fish. It's even more of a hassle to clean an aquarium than a terrarium and they do little other than gobble up the bits we throw to them. Fish are an example of a pet whose soul appeal is aesthetic value.

I'm not trying to say that pets are pointless and we shouldn't have them. I love having pets. They are strange, though... as a concept.

If you sit and watch tv or play a game, my dog will come up on the couch and sit one her butt (not the normal way but on the top of her butt so her tail is pointing in front of her) and stare at the tv. Then every once in a while she'll stare at you with the most stereotypical puppy look you'll ever see. If you stare back at her, she would lunge at you and try to lick your face.

Squish my chest with his massive front paws. He's thirty pounds. It hurts. XD

I had a cat who used to sleep in the bathroom sink. He would only move when you turned on the water, and even then it was rather slowly.

One of my current cats really likes the TV. She'll sit in front of it and watch whatever we're watching, especially anything on Animal Planet. She and her sister both really like marshmallows. They don't eat them, just get them out of the bag in the cupboard, then chew them til they're soggy and gross, then leave them on the floor or stash them under the bathroom sink. Not sure why they do that. I'm pretty sure they're kitty mobsters or something, and are planning to kill my dog in her sleep.

If you look at my pug long enough she will run around like a bullet for an hour.

And she has moments where she just goes ape-shit and running around like she's schizophrenic.

Everything my pets do are stupid.

There's this weird thing that all my cats and dogs do.

When you scratch them at the base of their tail, their heads will turn up, their eyes go wide and they'll just start licking the air for some reason.

I can't find any medical reason for this.

I think it just feels good, like a mini orgasm or something.
I do it to my cats then scratch them under the chin too. Their arse goes up but their head goes down and the end up almost falling over. Hilarious.

My mum had some empty boxes in the front room which were just about big enough to fit 3 novels in, if you stood them on their spines. My cat decided this box would be better used for him to sit in.

No, there was no reason. He just sat there like for hours, with a look like "Mmm, my box :3"

 

[steevee]

My cat will go outside, walk from here to there, stop, look around the move on to another area. He'll do this for about 5 minutes (We're only talking a 10" x 10" area) and then just either sit down ad look dopey, or walk back to you ad start shouting.

And she has moments where she just goes ape-shit and running around like she's schizophrenic.

My Cats have all done this, its actually an all cat thing, we call them 'daft half hours' for some reason I don't even know.

Anyway one of my cats literally throws herself at windows until she's let in and will growl at anything she doesn't find amusing.

My other cat, the son of the first, meows like a sheep and will sit on his mother to get her attention and will jump on me, even if I'm standing up, to get me to feed him.

They both sit and watch TV and play with foil balls. They're awesome.
