Id love to know what funny quirks and traits everyone's animals at home does.. its hallerious at all their little behavioral traits they have and how each have their own personality..

My blind cat Tab has this obsession with sitting on paper.. Im in the middle of studying for my exams and every time i try sit down and read my lecture notes.. Tab conveniently decides to plonk himself right on top of paperwork on the floor..

My folks cat Daisy talks back when she's told not to hop up on the kitchen bench..

My folks other cat shelli loves sitting on freshly dried clothes in the washing basket.


Id love to see what other's have happy

Whenever cargo has a drink of water.. Even if it's a tiny little lick of water.. He goes.. MENTAL! I dont know what it is about water.. Baths, drinking it, me dropping some on him, spraying him with a water bottle.. But god.. Everytime.. Just a little sip of water and BAM, he goes bloody mental.. He runs up and down the stairs, up and down the hall way, sliding around all over the place- he's crazzzyyy.. o.O

Cecil is erm, well quite honestly gay, he likes boys and he goes and has all night sex fests with toms in the neighbourhood (he has been fixed since he was 5 months).

He loves sitting in things. Boxes, bags, buckets. He is funny. He also likes to sit on whatever you are doing/watching/reading at the time!

Such a douche, but god dang, I love him so much. He turns 9 this year, I was there when he was born. He is my furry baby.

I know, it is because cats "own" us they are our masters. When they are hungry, we feed them. When they are cold, we cuddle them. When they want attention, they get right in the middle of anything we are trying to do.

Love them so much. BTW I loooove cats who talk. So cute!

Dude, have you lived with a Siamese? Spectre just walks around the house talking, talking talking... No one's in the room he's in and you can hear him just chatting away to himself...

My brother in law has a cat that sits at the top of the stairs when the boys have band practice. She won't go down while they're playing, it's too loud, but she just hangs out listening. When left alone with a guitar she'll start strumming the strings.

Bahahahehehehhee...

sorry another crazy one.

Scruffaluf as I call him, is just a weirdo. (mini wolf dog:: ie.japanese shhhpitz)

Often we just have silent interactions...

he will look one way, I will do the same.. then he will roll his eyes, and I will do something else..

or I make similar noises at him when he gruffs about.

Barks at tv.. only when they news tune comes on.. the sbs one I think.. the horn things..
every... time.

Likes staring at speakers... nudges them and gets uppity.

Chases torches endlessly, if walking him was an obligation, I could just.. shine a touch around the yard for a while.

When I am swimming, rushes straight out to the pool to see what all the energy is about.. barks a lil and runs along the edge.. gets up and looks like thinking about hoping in.. or kneels his paws on the edge with his legs down... in an odd way.

Is friends with cats.. or anything...

is a weirdo at the dog park..and on walks.

Often seems tied to what I am doing.. so I pull faces at him until he gives up trying to figure out what is happening next haha.

There is a table just higher than him (a low one). and he will walk under it rubbing his back on it, looks heaps funny though. At the moment is loving beanbags.

Annndd he is a jerk and pays no attention to you outside near other dogs._ o or does tentatively which is bad in terms of cars.

Apparently has 'a.d.d.' and is a homo-dog.. and was terrible at doggy school. bahah.. buut that isn't my experience.

He always pulls funny expressions though... I do the same to him.. watch what he is going to do.. if he has a half implying expression like something is going to happen or he is going to run off and rub against a couch. *he had 'cat fleas' for a while, but still is in the habit haha

But instead of the supr cute thing I adore..where they sneeze..

he stares a little, like he is sniffing... then half regurgitates.. (eats grass)..
I can't help laugh every time.

sadly he has suffered/been deprived most since I started doing the non-animal thing...
as I actually finish my meals.

before he'd have about a bowl more (he is only lil too)..

I was never ever... ever good at finishing a meal.

I think it is really only this year, or last .. I have actually done it. EVER.
and on a constant basis now too.

I'd sit at the table for hours (can't leave till you finish your meal)..
not even making a point.. i'd just sit there till it was late enough that it was ridiculous.. and I could leave haha.

SooOoo, maybe it has just been unapparent to me, what I really dislike. Which is strange.. I often pull apart most aspects of myself.

but yaw! the dog.. isss a strange one.

I had a budgie nick named chook... who would snuggle into your neck.. but was very smart.
He was on the lawn apparently (I was away a night).. and dad took the bottom off the cage, so he could walk on the grass. Don't know why I said budgie.. African love bird. He wasn't clipped or anything.. and he opened the cage door with his beak.. then flewd away.
I had seen him do it inside.. so it was plausible.

He climbed in my friends mouth once.

Also... had a pet carp.. shnuffelufigus .. or snuffy/snuffles. who lived happily (I assume) in my pool for a year or so. I caught him at renmark (when I were liler).. and he had a cute pudgey face so brought him home.. alll the way to adelaide (3-4 hour drive).. and our pool was turning green, sooo he lived there. Buuut we had to drain it eventually.. and he didn't like the fresh water he was put in :<

uhmmm. Have had a tortoise or turtle live here.. fell in the empty pool and cracked its shell.. so its shell got super glued and released into the local water way. Apparently had a kangaroo at one stage.

My aunty had a resident fox, whom would terrorize the much slower and easily enticed dog that lived there, making it run into fences. A three legged cat came by and called her place home for a bit.. but had to leave.. as she loves all the doves that like to visit.


Personally... if not in a family.

I wouldn't own an animal/pet.

Not sure why, but it doesn't gel with me.


I could befriend a raven.. or be around wolves.

BuuuUuut, I couldn't have... ownership over something.

Maybe if I lived on a forested property I could say 'my owls' . buttt not in a house.

Only really comfortable approaching an animal, on its terf. In captivity it is more like 'what is this thing *shys away'.

So domesticated animals.. still I don't think I could have one. I am just bad at looking after my self.. hahah. Don't know if I could make a pet happy, or depend on one to be there. Either or.


My brother though, has many reptiles... and frogs. Helps set people up with ponds and things, and works for some animal rescue teams.

Not sure I could have one even on that basis >_<// thinking of me living on my own.

Oh one cute thing this dog does; he knows he isn't meant to bark.. so he still does it.. but muffles it .. and does this odd.. aourf.. wof wof. rwof

soft to the ears.. it is fun

My cat mozzie (who passed some years ago) used to sit on plastic bags. He would find a plastic bag laying around in your room, and sit on it, but first he would crunch it up a bit. He was so NOISY! Espeacialy when you were trying to sleep!

Coco got such a surprize when she farted…

Suggar LOVES birdseed!

How does Cargo go crazy? Sugar, my bull arab mix, she goes crazy when you ignore her, or push her away, or when its night. She will tense up (when she does it, her body feels hard as rock) put her ears back, her eyes will go red, and she will run around you, with her tail between her legs, and her bac legs really low. I actually don't know why she does it, or what it means!
