The one guy’s got a ferret up his sleeve (better than an ace?), the other’s got a big cat in a little fishbowl, and over there we’ve got two little dogs totally demolishing a nice, big sofa. Our pets have their own agendas.

Cats & Babies: Cuddles
It’s remarkable how gentle cats can be with human babies, isn’t it? With just a little hiccup or two–
Baby chews on pacifier ring. Baby offers it to cat, who takes his turn to chew on it. Baby puts it back into his own mouth. I can just hear my mother let out a shriek that you could hear in Timbuctoo…
The Further Adventures of Jimmy the Turkey
We thought we might’ve caught Jimmy the Turkey on an off-day yesterday, maybe he got up on the wrong side of the… whatever turkeys sleep in. He couldn’t be that crabby all the time.
Uh… wrong. He can.
My wife knew a farmer whose tom turkey habitually attacked the mailman. That was back when mail carriers used to go around with those great big sacks of mail. Something about the poor guy always got the turkey’s dander up.
I so see this as a Freddy book!
The Adventures of Jimmy the Turkey
No, we’re not talking about another Democrat presidential candidate. Jimmy is a real turkey who shares a barnyard with a tribe of chickens; and I think there might be ducks or geese in the background who are camera-shy. This is starting to sound like a Freddy the Pig book…
Anyway, watch Jimmy take charge when a strawberry enters their lives.
Confuse a Cat
I can see why a mirror might be confusing to a cat. It can stump a chameleon, a dog, or a hamster, too. But half a lemon? Why should that be cause for great caution? What does a cat think about a piece of lemon?
I love it when kittens first learn how to arch their backs, puff their tails, and hop around sideways–heap big threat display! Pretend to be scared when they do it.
Cats That Swim
Nothing like a few splashes of water to break up a cat fight. Cats can swim, of course, but most of them would very much rather not.
If your cat must swim, the bathtub is the best place for it. Steer clear of wading pools.
A Cavalcade of Critters
What happens when you goose a hamster (besides mixing a metaphor)? When an inexperienced sea turtle miscalculates the tide? Those are two eye-poppers in this collection. I don’t know… I just find hamsters awful hard to resist.
Cat on the Keyboard
Maybe you were expecting to see a cat play the piano. Well, there’s one cat who does, but not this one. No–this one lies down on the middle of the keyboard. And then the human works around him. This is so soothing, it almos put me to zzzzzz…
Killer Kittens from Venus!
If this cat video were a 1950s monster movie, the trailer would say:
SEE the attack on the box of tissues!
SEE perpetual-motion fuzzy cats! SEE them tumble, roll, and fall!
SEE the helpless scientists try to control it!

Cats Show Dogs Who’s Boss
What’s the matter with these dogs? They’re bigger and stronger than cats. Why do they let cats dominate them?
Our family dog, Pepper, had to stay with us one weekend, and we were uneasy because there was a stray cat who’d had her two kittens here in our apartment just a few nights ago; and Pepper never met a cat she wouldn’t chase. We prepared to intervene quickly.
But somehow Pepper and Angel, without benefit of language, divided the apartment between them and there was no fuss at all. Pepper knew better than to mess with Angel’s kittens. We all had a nice, peaceful weekend.
