Funny Pet Storys

Dear Pets ….

Dear Pets:When I say to move, it means to go some place else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help, because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort.

Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping: they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.

My cd’s and dvd’s are not miniature Frisbees.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. When I exit this room, I will come out the same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years. Canine/feline attendance has never been necessary.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other animal’s butt or your own. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.



In return for your following these simple rules, I have posted the following message on our front door:   

 

Our Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets


1. They live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.3. I like my pet a lot better than I like most people.4. To you, it’s an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.

5. Dogs and cats are better than kids. They eat less, don’t ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don’t hang out with drug-using friends, don’t smoke or drink, don’t worry about buying the latest fashions, don’t wear your clothes and don’t need a gazillion dollars for college.

TRASHY KITTY

There are just some places that you don’t expect your cat to be. Unfortunately, when it comes to bizarre hiding spots, my cat has stealth prowess.  Her camouflage skills are so astute that I assume that she landed on the front steps of her former animal shelter  after a windstorm during parachute practice which ended her relatively short lived employment with the US Secret Service. She never fails to keep me guessing about her whereabouts, and no more so than the day she received her nickname “Trashy”. It was a Friday afternoon, and I was sitting on my futon engrossed in a book.  My cat, Dora, was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I heard a frantic cat scream and a large thud in the kitchen.  These are relatively common sounds in my household as Dora is trademarked by her inordinately large number of unusual domestic accidents and reputation for paying for her veterinarian’s Winter Solstice cruise to Jamaica. After briefly patting myself on the back for adding “collision” to Dora’s medical insurance, I dashed to the kitchen wondering what Lucille Ball worthy catastrophe befell my accident prone kitty. My kitchen isn’t especially large. Opening my refrigerator door decreases my kitchen’s square footage by 75%.  Therefore, the fact that I couldn’t immediately find my  cat was perplexing, especially as alien abductions were not particularly common in my condo complex.  I really started to get worried.  Where could that feline be? 

Then, my garbage can started walking across the floor. 

Despite the fact that my garbage can had a lid on it with a very small push door, I knew I lived far enough from Amityville for it to be walking on its own.  I picked up the lid, and at the very bottom of the garbage can was my cat.  She apparently fell off my counter, and  somehow managed to hit the garbage can lid door just right, falling in.  Seeing as my garbage can was 3-feet tall, completely empty, and quite heavy, she was simply sitting at the bottom of the can, unable to do much about her predicament. She looked up at me pitifully, saying the only thing she could. 

“Meow?”

Which in kitty language translated to, “I know I look really stupid, but I can’t get out of here myself.”  

That is how my cat got the nickname “Trashy”. Thankfully, she didn’t hurt anything other than her pride, and in a few minutes she was back to her normal self.  I was simply grateful I didn’t have to take her to the medical clinic, and try to convince the veterinarian of the accuracy of the tale.  If that was the case, I would be writing this tale in between attempted pet health insurance fraud hearings.

If Your Cat Could Talk ….

    This is what he might say:  
    But this is what he’d probably mean:   
Although I am too proud to beg, and may appear to be a very independent creature, I ask for your loving care and attention.
I’m the boss, serve me.
I rely on you for my well being much more than you may realize.
Go out and earn money to keep me in the style to which I intend to become accustomed.
This I promise you, my benefactor, that I will not be a burden on you nor will I demand more of you than you care to give.
The more attention I get, the more I want. You may have to hire another slave for me.
I will be a quiet peaceful island of serenity for you to gaze upon; a soft soothing body to caress, and I shall purr with pleasure to rest your weary ears.
I will tear round the house smashing ornaments at 3 a.m., infest the house with fleas, and bite your mother when she comes to visit.
Since I am a gourmet who appreciates different taste sensations, I pray you will give me a variety of nutritious foods and fresh water daily.
I need Evian water, changed at least six times per day, chilled but not too cold. Any food offerings that you make, no matter how expensive, will be turned down if I think there is a chance that I can scrounge the three day old bread that next door put out for the birds.
You know dear friend, how I love to sleep. Allow me, I pray, a warm sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure.
Don’t you dare wake me, I know where you sleep, and will get revenge – claw type bloody revenge!
If I am wounded in battle or suffering from disease, please tend me gently, and see that I am treated by loving and competent hands.
I reserve the right to mangle the most expensive hands you hire to treat me.
Please protect me from the inhuman humans who would hurt and torture me for their own amusement. I am accustomed to your gentle touch and am not always suspicious nor swift enough to avoid such malicious acts.
If you ever find out that it was me who bit your mother’s thumb, I’ll have to claim that she woke me up when I was having a bad dream.
In my later years when my senses fail me and my infirmities become to great to bear, allow me the comfort and dignity that I desire for my closing days and help me gently in my pain or passing.
When I’ve had enough of being pampered, please send me to my next reincarnation, where I look forward to being satisfactorily served once more.
Hear this prayer, my dear friend; my fate depends on you.
I might just accept you as slave, if you behave yourself.

Cats

“Cats are less loyal than dogs, but more independent.” (This is code. It means: “Cats are smarter than dogs, but they hate people.”) Many people love cats. From time to time, newspapers print stories about some elderly widow who died and left her entire estate, valued at $3,200,000, to her cat, Fluffkins. Cats read these stories, too, and are always plotting to get named as beneficiaries in their owners’ wills. Did you ever wonder where your cat goes when it wanders off for several hours? It meets with other cats in estate-planning seminars. I just thought you should know.

According To Dave Barry

The Achievement of the Cat

 

The Achievement of the Cat

 

It might be hard to believe if you saw him sleeping peacefully on Pat’s lap, but Nicky has always been easily persuaded to turn into a tough guy.  Right after we adopted him, we temporarily converted the spare bedroom into his nursery, and when someone entered the room the tiny black kitten would stare fiercely from a corner and hiss, as though to warn you he would tear you apart if you got any closer.

   He’s gone beyond hissing as he’s grown up.  One afternoon, he was lying on the floor in front of the refrigerator when its motor came on.  Startled, Nicky leaped up, back arched and teeth bared, and faced the refrigerator.

   As an honorable cat, Nicky waited a moment to give it a chance to apologize for disturbing him.  When it didn’t, he looked it over, sized it up, and perhaps decided that even if it was bigger, it wasn’t tougher than he is.

   Then Nicky reached out with a paw and gave the offending machine two quick cuffs.  It didn’t fight back, and Nicky turned and walked away, apparently satisfied that he had taught it a lesson about starting something with a lion-hearted little cat

The Crazy Morning Cat. "Sir Pounce Alot"

I think my cat must be possessed by some crazy morning bug. If I try to sleep passed 7:00 he will do his best to drive me crazy. In the A.M. he will get in the blinds right beside my bed. If that doesn’t work then he will jump up on the bedside table and stare at me. If I try to sleep through all of that he will sit on the table and hit the blinds while staring. And if all of this does not get me up he will jump on the bed and bite my arm ( not hard just enough to get my attention). Then when I am up he will climb back up on his perch and go to sleep. Then it is my turn to bug him.

Joyride

sherry

I have a 13 year-old tortoiseshell cat named Sherry. She loves sleeping in or on the car, so we usually leave the windows rolled down for her. Early one Saturday morning, as I was leaving to go to gym, I heard a howling ‘meow’ coming from somewhere. Thinking she was locked in one of the cars (we have 3) I peered in, but no Sherry.

I heard it again, and was trying to work out where it was coming from when my Dad drove up from around the corner. He had taken one of our dogs, Apache, for a drive around the block. It took me 2 seconds to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing.

I waved at my Dad, to try make him stop the car, he just waved merrily at me, and the dog barked happily. But when he finally did stop, he burst out laughing to find that Sherry had been sleeping on top of the car and had just had the joyride of her life!

The claw marks on the roof indicated that she was not keen to take up ‘car-surfing’. I wonder what our neighbours must have thought upon seeing the car drive by, with one happy dog in the car, and one not so very happy cat on the roof!

Sherry still sleeps in and on the car by the way.

Embarrassing pussycat

Once the postman came to my front door to deliver a package that was too large to fit into our mailbox. We stood at the door chatting and I felt my cat Snoop brush past my leg. I looked down and discovered that she had thoughtfully brought a tampon in from the bathroom and was violently batting at it with her paw. The conversation ended rather abruptly.

Jump to the Wall

When Ban was a kitten who had just started to go outside we let him out into the garden where we were sat. There was a tree stump that was about 1M high which was situated about 2M from a 2M high wall. He climbed up the tree stump and looked with interest at the wall in front of him. You could tell he was positioning himself for his first big jump and we watched with interest. He got into the classic cat pose, head low, backside in the air wobbling (the just before a pouce movement) and made the jump. He had all 4 paws out to the side and his head flat. He made a jump of about 70cm and splatted to the floor landing on his belly with his paws flat on the floor out to the side. We were in stitches! He looked so bewildered about why he hadn’t landed on the wall. It took him about 2 weeks before he was able to jump from the tree to the wall!

That's My Chair!

At the same time as having our cat, we also had a dog. We had had the cat for about 2 or 3 years before we got the dog, so she naturally regarded herself as being in charge. The dog had her own chair, which she used to sleep on, but on many occasions, the dog would be happily sleeping on her chair, and the cat would come up and sit in front of the chair and stare at the dog. After about 10 minutes or so, the dog would become restless in her sleep, eventually wake up, get down off the chair, lie on the rug, and go back to sleep. At that point, the cat would hop up onto the nice warm chair, and go to sleep!
