Eccentric Cats and Dogs

I don’t think much of people who play pranks on their pets.

Why are cats afraid of cucumbers? My cat Henry got really ticked off by worry beads. I have no idea why.

And I never knew dogs could learn to imitate people–but we can see them doing it in this video.

Shame on the Cat

Who does this cat think she is–W.C. Fields? These adorable puppies want to make friends with her, cuddle up with her, and she wants no part of it. I would be mortified if my cat did that. So crabby!

Bonus Video: Cat, Dog, and ‘Mission: Impossible’

Sorry! I just cannot write any nooze today. Haven’t even read any. Besides, who can resist that classic Mission: Impossible theme music by Lalo Schiffren?

So watch these two try to open the door whose knob is just out of reach. What do you suppose is on the other side of the door, that makes them so anxious to open it?

Who ever had this much fun with pet spider crabs?

Cat Detonates Dog

Sorry, but I just couldn’t find a suitable cat or dog video tonight–so here’s one of my favorites. In way too many videos, humans keep butting in. Confound it, if I wanted people videos, I’d post people videos!

Having Four Legs Won’t Help You Here

This day has been just awful–and horribly hot, too. Maybe some icy video will help restore my sanity.

Here we have dogs and cats taking on icy surfaces and not faring any better than us humans. Probably you need six legs; but ice and insects don’t mix well.

Pets’ Protection Rackets

Okay, now I’ve seen everything–a German shepherd protecting a lobster from winding up in the cooking pot. And watch what happens when a cockatoo encounters a cockroach.

And of course our pets are going to protect our babies…. from us!

Good Dog-Bad Dog

This is shown from the cats’ point of view (naturally–who else’s matters?). The one dog gets a friendly greeting. The other gets the bum’s rush–and woe betide him, if those two cats catch him. Disgraceful, isn’t it?

Playgrounds: Not Just for Humans

Step aside, you bipeds! Here’s how you get the most out of a playground.

Don’t miss the footage of the ducks enjoying a sliding board. If I ever had half that much fun, I don’t know how I’d ever settle for anything less.

Dogs Terrified of… Cats

Fie, fie, fie upon a conquered pooch! Have these dogs no shame? It’s an embarrassment to the whole dog nation. Buffaloed by cats–mixed metaphor, but you get the point. Cowed by cats. Chicken-hearted dogs, they even embarrass the chickens.

Sweet Dog & Kittens

There’s something really sweet about this–a little glimpse of heaven. The great big dog could evict four little kittens from his dog bed… and yet he doesn’t. Are we going too far out on a limb, to say this is a video that makes us… hope?
