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.
The little shadow tiger has decided she does not like the cold tile floor in the kitchen on her little paw pads in the mornings. So she does this little hoppy move sideways into almost a gallop before the hind legs get into as much of a hurry as the front and nearly send her rolling out of the kitchen into the safe carpet of the living room
That sounds super funny and cute
Happen to have this on video?
No video. It has only happened a few times, but has brightened my morning.
I was petsitting for friends on vacation who had just adopted kittens. I went to the bathroom to pee, and while I was peeing one kitten jumped onto the rim of the toilet bowl and slipped and fell in. It took a second or so to stop the stream and get kitty out of there, and then I had to gently wash him in the bathtub.
I was cracking up so hard, but felt so bad for the kitten.
Also had a kitten i rescued that did exactly this haha
Was this an orange kitten?
Had a big lovable but kind of dumb orange boy growing up who did the same thing and suffered the same bath fate
One Orange Brain Cell
My dog did a similar thing. Poke head out the flap, check on my whereabouts in the backyard, go back inside to do dog stuff.
“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.”
Read this like the narrator from Shining Times Station.
Run through her cat door at her max speed, climb up the wall, climb the ceiling to center room, jump down, look at me, meow, then top speed out the cat door.
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.
I was at a dinner party with my shepherd-mix. While we humans sat at the table, he strolled around, went to the kitchen and found a small, delicious smelling trashcan. It had cooked chicken bones in it, not good for dogs. Unable to open it on his own, luckily, he grabbed the whole trashcan and brought it to me to open for him. Everyone was laughing. He was sad though that I did not help him get what he wanted but I was a little bit proud of him.
He was a great dog and lived to be 16. Rest in peace, buddy.
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)
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
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
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 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.
Used to have a dog that LOVED opening Christmas presents. The weird part was there could be several presents, all wrapped, and she would always immediately grab the one that had her name on it.
She could read!
Or it was the one that smelled like pet supplies and she smart.
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
as a non-cat person, lmao at this Q&A
I also have an orange cat that does this, though not to such an extent. What is the connection?
It is said that all orange cats share one brain cell… however mine is black and the same thing goes on. I have to manually remove her claw from whatever it is in. I think it is some ancient instinct that is related to cutting flesh…
