Cat-Friend vs Dog-Friend

LMFAO!!! To a tee!!

Although I consider myself more of a dog person, I like cats too - if for no other reason they're funny, especially when there's more than one of them. My wife and kids are more cat people which translates to us having only 1 dog and, at the moment, 8 cats! Don't jump to conclusions.... one of our cats had kittens about 5 weeks ago so thank God, 5 of them are leaving in about a week, which leaves 3 cats which make it their life's mission to torment the dog. And they're good at it too!
2 of them are your basic, everyday fun-loving, mischievous pranksters that love attention and affection. One of them, however, HATES to be touched! Very strange. I've never seen a cat that didn't love to be scratched and stroked. She'll come and sit by you on the couch or jump up on the bed and lay right next to you but if you reach to touch her, she freaks the fuck out and starts hissing. Weird. She's normal in every other aspect and plays with the other 2 just fine.

My brother had a cat that would hardly ever leave the water bowl. It would sit by it and play in the water for hours at a time. It was always half soaked, and the area surrounding the water bowl was a mess. Was a strange looking Persian cat. It walked in a strange way. If it was walking in a straight line, the back legs weren't in line with the front ones. We were thinking this one might have been in the birth canal too long or something.

"Dats a good boy"....

Our cats run when they hear the can opener running...

Our dogs run when they hear the refrig open....

Best one is the "cat" on the bed...smacking the owner..."We're out of cereal"...

How funny! The 2 normal ones are orange tiger-striped twin brother and sister. A feral cat that my wife kept feeding because she "felt so sorry for it" gave birth to them in our aluminum shed this past summer. The temps inside it were unbearable even at night so one day while the mother was away, I went in and got them so they wouldn't bake to death. They were in pretty bad shape and probably wouldn't have survived another day. We knew she had had the kittens but had no idea where until my wife noticed her hanging around the she. They were right at 3 weeks old when we rescued them and of course all the special feeding needs and re-hydrating they required made us fall in love with them and instead of putting them up for adoption, we kept them.

Now.... I had to tell you that part of the story so that the next part would make some sense - maybe....

They're 6 months old now and are in perfect health, been to the vet for shots, and have both been fixed. Since they have been together since conception, they are inseparable. Play, sleep, eat... everything. They have a complete obsession with running water. They can be asleep in another part of the house and if water gets turned on anywhere or the toilet flushes, they bolt to that location, jump up on the counter or the side of the tub, whatever... and sit there absolutely mesmerized by it. They don't try to touch it or get in it, they just watch it move. And if it happens to be the toilet they heard, they just about knock you down getting to it as soon as the door is opened! My theory is that is something to do with the severe dehydration they experienced. The male is the funniest though. He'll sit there staring at the sink drain long after the water has stopped running and gone down the drain with this stupid look on his face. I swear if there was a thought bubble above his head it would justsay one word: "FASCINATING!!"

This was always my favorite cat/dog bit:

That may be the case. Our niece has a calico that would sit on the toilet seat and watch the water as it flushed. When our niece came to live with us, she left her cat with relatives. They kept her outside in a cage in a storage shed. She was skinny and not very healthy looking when we decided to bring her home with us. I'm sure she went through some dehydration out there as well. She's healthy and happy now, and doesn't watch the water like she used to.

This is practically spot on. I literally have a very personal relationship with my dog. Sometimes it gets to the point where I'm sitting there and waiting for him to speak to me. The emotions and feelings he shows me is incredible and so very smart. I talk to him like I would a friend and feel he understands every little tone in my voice and how every interaction in body movement is well known, lmao.

My brother on the other hand, has 3 cats that he and his girlfriend saved, got attached and kept them. I visit frequently and you couldn't have two different species being on opposite ends of the spectrum than cats and dogs. I go up there, feels like I accomplished a lot with them but at the same time, my brain hurts from them toying with my mind from their cold ass expressions that confuse the living daylights out of you. Cats really are a breed that has mystery all over them. They can give two shits less about anything you could throw at them, lead you to believe they are dumbfucks while at the same time, showing their own way of intelligence. Weird contrast.

My Toni girls jumps in the shower with me.. If I gave her a bath I'd suffer a million stitches, but she loves sitting in the back of the shower. Strange...
