Odd pet behavior?

[Dr Mordrid]

We use the Dutch door to limit access to the kitchen (and all the dangerous stuff therein) by Erik, our 4 year old, and our grandson Brennen. If Brennen is anything like Erik he'll be able to climb like an orangutang, which quickly rendered the available kiddie gates totally useless

Most times we have the upper half removed and stored in the pantry.

OIC - was going to ask why anyone would use them inside the house (if not for looks)

My sister-in-law's cat is a psychotic, vicious beast. The only person she actually LIKES is Marian's husband. Marian herself (and its technically her cat) can barely handle her and she has even attacked the kids, drawing blood. Glen refuses to get rid of the cat, saying "how will the kids feel if we get rid of the family pet?" Marian insists "The kids are AFRAID of her!" They have to lock the cat in a closet whenever visitors come around.

I suggested that she talk to a vet about putting the cat on Prozac (no joke!). I told her that if it works maybe the cat will mellow out a bit. If it doesn't, then they can quietly OD her. Problem solved either way.

I think its because the cat was taken from its mother before it was weaned. Or else it got dropped on its head when it was little.

PS They had a siberian husky that was one cool, friendly pooch. They got rid of it and kept the psycho cat. Go figure.

Hmm where do I start with my cats? My cat, Klondike makes sounds like race car passing by a TV camera when he runs around. Hes also quite adapt at waking up my GF @ o'darkthirty by borrowing under her neck and lifting her head up. He also knows how to paw at the cabinet door that has the cat food and treats for him.

My GF's cat Cosmo, talks to my GF before she makes it up to the apartment. I was sitting on her couch when she came home from work last week and the windows where open and he mows when she saw her get out of her car, my Girlfriend Mows back at him and this went on for a couple mows between the two of him. The other thing he likes to do is plant his head into you so you rub it. He Also enjoys going into the bath tub with water in it! The last cat, Kramer doesn't really do anything too odd out of the three.

My Parents Cocker Spaniel, Molly is a nut..She loves sitting chairs and puts her paws up on the arm rests like she thinks shes a human. In the Morning when I get done in the bathroom and sit down and eat breakfast with my mom, the dog is in the third chair watching us eat and not begging

Now here are the photos of all 4 of them

Kosmo and Klondike, even though they look like they came from the same litter they are about 2 1/2 years apart and my cat has a broken tail at the end as you can tell in this photo. Kos is on the left and Klondike is on the right


Heres the Female of the cat bunch, Cramer



And My parents Cocker Spaniel, Molly

All our pets live outdoors... they're so to speak adopted.

First you have George, a Great White Heron who pays a visit daily... Normally landing on the roof, will even follow you home from the other end of the lake. Then there is Butterball, a southern grey squirrel who visits our backdoor lookin for Pecans (also his roost in the Oak tree in our side yard)

I'm not going to mention Bart the Alligator or anyone of the hundreds of Turtles (It's a stampede when I feed them goons) or the millions of Lizards goofing around... I'll shuddup now, can't possible list all and might even offend one for not mentioning

Oh crap almost forgot one that does live inside... da one eyed w00bie (our diaperless son

A story from the before-time, from the long, long ago:

The smartest dog I'd ever seen was my friend's Cocker Spaniel, Tara. She got a lot of attention as a pup from a lot of guys teaching her different tricks and commands. But like all dogs, although she was smart, she had no qualms about doing things that made her look like a bonehead (maybe that's why dogs and humans connect so well!).

Steve and my Bro-in-law Wally shared a mobile home way back when, and I would stop by late in the evening to visit after Wally got off work. One night Steve wasn't around and Tara was acting very strangely. When she stood still or sat down she would sway drunkenly. When Wally let her outside for a breather, she would run and run and run like a maniac, then come over and sit down at our feet and sway. We were becoming concerned but could find no evidence of physical injury. When Steve came home we told him what was going on. He glanced around the room and said, "Wally, when you came home was there a big bud sitting on the end table?"

Turns out Steve had done some motor work for a guy and the guy gave Steve a big bud of Primo. Steve carelessly left it sitting on the end table, Just at Tara-nose height...

Tara crashed like a Russian airliner and slept for ten hours. Needless to say, Steve was a lot more careful with his stash from then on.

Ahhh...The good old days!
