This Cat Is Off the Wall

I know there are dreadful things happening all over this fallen world, and that a cat bouncing himself off the wall isn’t one of them. Our cat Buster could’ve gotten a Nobel Prize for that… if they gave one for bounding off the wall.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

(Do you believe this guy? He’s posting a video of dogs sleeping! How exciting is that?)

It is said that for a dog to fall asleep in a weird position denotes great trust in the human members of the household.  But I don’t know what it means when humans do it.

A Furry, Fluffy Cuddle Puddle

I’m trying to write, and Patty’s listening to true crime videos–guy cuts off someone’s head and stuffs it in a suitcase. And I cry out, “This is what you listen to, to cheer up???” She dissolves in helpless laughter. Nothing else to do!

So let’s try this: cat cuddling with an uncountable gaggle of ducklings, and two bunnies want in on it.

(Ah! I feel my blood pressure going down. Maybe we’ll survive this afternoon.)

Pigs Get the Better of Bear

The bear is thinking, “Mmm, pork chops!” Just climb into the pigs’ enclosure and chow down.

But that ain’t how the pigs see it. Maybe the bear thought there was only one of them. In fact, there are two–and they don’t want company.

Cat vs. Spider Showdown

Normally the cat just eats the spider (eccch!) and that’s that. But this spider looks like he means business, he’s not here to take any guff from cats. I wish I knew what kind of spider it is: I’ve never seen that threat display before. It would convince me…

Tappin’ with Tapirs

I always thought these were really cool animals–tapirs. Related to horses and rhinos, there’s really nothing else quite like them. I wanted one for a pet when I was six years old. These are South American tapirs. The ones in Malaysia are two-tone, black and white.

Does Your Dog Watch TV?

Here’s one of those bulldogs who’s become famous by reacting to what he sees on TV. And yet a lot of other dogs completely ignore it. Ditto with cats: some get into TV and some just don’t.

I have to admit the barks scared me more than the movie.

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.

Toby the Boston Terrier

Free Republic thought we needed a laugh–boy, do we ever!–so they posted this short featuring Toby the Boston Terrier. He’s a very funny dog.

Meanwhile, it looks like we need a new refrigerator, stat, and Patty has been working on that all morning. This is not a cheery day for us. And it’s hot as blazes, too.

Your Pets’ Cardboard Playground

If you want to jazz up life for your dogs or cats, give ’em a cardboard box. Play in it! Fight over it! Tear it apart! You’ll run out of cardboard before they run out of ideas.
