Inscrutable Cats

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

As I run back and forth between computers to try to get this simple job done, of posting a video, because first there are problems on this machine, and then on that one, I can’t help wishing I could just take a nap instead. Problems caused by updates. Huzzah.

Anyway, here are some cats, some of them going out of their way to pick on dogs, but all of them with one thing in common: you can practically see the wheels turning, inside their heads. And yet you never know what a cat is going to do. This we humans have in common with dogs.

Cats & Dogs & Sorry I’m Late!

I was wondering why nobody viewed my cat video tonight. Then I realized I hadn’t posted it. Chalk it up to stress and really lousy weather.

Anyway, here you go, cats and dogs together. If you can’t cuddle, play!

Playing Like Cats and Dogs

I wish I could roll around on the floor with some puppies and kittens. They know how to have fun! They also remind us that God has a lot better stuff reserved for us than the worldly muck that we come up with. In fact, they show us that even this fallen world has more to offer than a lot of the business we’ve got our noses pressed into.

Kittens & Puppies Together

WARNING: You’re gonna fall in love.

How can you tell they’re not hurting each other, when they do this stuff? Hint: the puppy yawns as the kitten chews his leg; the kitten almost falls asleep as the puppy gnaws his ear.

Pets with Ideas of Their Own

“I will not have this water bottle up here, no matter how many times you put it back.”

“I will knock you over and run on your face.”

“Stop reading that stupid book and pet me!”

All of the cats and dogs and goats (plus one raccoon!) in this video have their own ideas of what they and their humans ought to be doing: some good ideas, and some not so good.

Does She Know She’s a Dog?

Playing with the kittens, playing with the adult cats, helping the mommy cat care for her newborns–does this German shepherd know she’s not a cat, but a dog? (Please ignore the cameo appearance by the raccoon. I think Violet Crepuscular wrote him in.) That such a big dog can be so gentle…

As a boy I was scared of German shepherds. My Uncle Ferdie had one, and I was convinced the dog wanted to eat me. Uncle Ferdie also had a houseful of little girls, none of whom got eaten. Eventually I learned the dog was excited because company came, and just wanted to play. So we made friends.

Sanity Break! Cozy & Cuddly

Enough Sturm und Drang already! Here are some dogs and cats with their heads on straight–also, I strongly suspect, a tiny peek into what God intends for us, once He restores and regenerates His creation.

Excuse me, I want to go grab me a cat…

P.S.–Videos of animals sleeping strongly resemble still photos of animals sleeping.

Cats & Dogs & Belly-Laughs

And here I am, remembering to post the video after I select it and load it. But I’d best not brag, just in case I suddenly discover I’ve forgotten something else.

Isn’t it amazing, how gentle most of these dogs are with cats who are just a fraction of their size? You will not I said “most,” not “all.” There really are moments in these relationships when the cat has a duty to assert his dominance.

Candid Cats & Dogs

Hey, this is just our daily sanity break–reaching out for harmless fun after plodding through the news.

Was it Apollonius of Tyana who said it’s tough being the only dog in a bedful of cats?

They Play Like Cats & Dogs

They look like they’re trying to murder each other, but nobody ever gets hurt: how do they do that? I mean, really, puppies and kittens do love a rasslin’ match.

My favorite here is the adult cat getting swarmed over by a whole litter of puppies. She doesn’t seem to mind! And neither would I.
