Anything can happen when dogs and cats are brought up in the same household. And what usually happens is, the cat steals the dog’s new bed. These poor dogs don’t know what to do about it.
I wish I had a picture of my iguana cuddled up on my bed between his two good friends–a schnauzer and a big black cat.
I was going to post some slowworm video, but decided not to push my luck. So here are some cats instead.
My cats have always liked to help me make the bed. They dive under the sheets, on top of the sheets, and have a wonderful time. If you get to playing with them, you can have a wonderful time, too–although the bed doesn’t get made.
A word of caution: Do not attempt any of this with a waterbed.
Some cats make really strange noises while they’re eating. My cats don’t, but here are some that do.
If you’re wondering why I’m putting up all these posts this morning–well, it’s raining and I’m stuck indoors. But my wife wanted the rain for her garden, and I guess that’s that.
This is billed as “Funny Cats Annoying Dogs,” but mostly it’s cats trying to elicit play or affection from dogs who are trying to do something else. It’s such fun to watch animals interact–but boy, would we be in for it, if cats and dogs had hands!
Here are kittens discovering that the world is full of amazing things they never expected.
I love it when kittens first find out that they can make puffy tails and run all around, doing it. My cats don’t bother to fluff their tails out anymore, but they had a grand week or so when they first learned how to do it.
Think about this thing that God has done. He has made it possible–in fact, not at all unusual–for members of totally different species to love each other.
Would we have thought of that, if any of us had made the heavens and the earth? No way we would have thought of that!
You have to be in a bad way indeed, if being hugged by a cat (or fussed over by a dog) doesn’t soothe your soul.
God loves us by pouring love on us!
For some reason cats don’t like you to sleep if they’re not sleeping. So here are some cats employing various tactics for waking up their owners.
My cat Henry used to get very upset if the phone rang and we didn’t answer it. You know, sometimes you are engaged in something that simply won’t allow you to go to the phone. But Henry accepted no excuses. “I don’t care what you’re doing! Answer the phone!”
And he used to wake my wife by putting his nose against her eyes.
Maybe I should’ve saved this for tomorrow, but I couldn’t wait to share it with you.
Here are cats doing some very clever thinking, plus one thought that was not so clever. I like this because it isn’t someone setting up situations: this is cats being cats.
My old friend Ed used to have a cat who used the people toilet instead of a litter box; but he never could get her to flush after using. Better not to try, probably.
Well, don’t that beat all! A baby squirrel falls out of its nest, the people put it in the box with the kittens, and the little fellow fits right in. The mommy cat treats it just like one of her kittens, loves it, feeds it, grooms it–and the baby squirrel has learned to purr.
God’s stuff not only works. It works better than we can imagine.

Here’s something I never knew about cats: some of them freak out at the sight of a cucumber.
Huh? What gives? Why should a cucumber, just lying on the floor, startle a cat?
We’ll never know.
