I won't laugh, I promise I WON"T........roflmaoroflmaoroflmaoroflmao
Uh, sorry

You obviously have not met Bed Hog Poncho.

 

My girlfriend got me a puppy for Christmas, she said I was to lonely since my son went to college. So when we went went looking she got one too. Believe it or not these 2 are sisters. Diasy is mine. They are foxhound / boxers.

 

Sisters perhaps, but I suspect different daddies.

I've known people who owned coons. They are as protective as dogs, but don't give warning if their defending your (their) territory. You also have to get used to an animal with hands and a brain, and is quite willing to get itself a midnight snack.

I've heard a way to tease a raccoon is to give it a bowl of sugar cubes and a bowl of water side by side. Seems they have this irresistible instinct to wash their food. Better watch from a distance though, that is going to be one frustrated raccoon, just before they drink the sugar water.

 

roflmao Your going to have to get Oscar a cape, holds up walls, eats socks

 

This thread is too dog-heavy lately! This is a picture of my kitty, Icarus -- everyone who meets him says he has the most personality they've ever encountered in a pet. He's not an outdoor cat, but every so often I'll take him outside under supervision, so he can smell the smells and hear everything in surround sound, instead of just through the screen door.

 

Pretty cat. I also have an indoor one and he gets to go out back with a bit of supervision.
It seems the screen door thing must be common to indoor cats. Anytime I go out the back door with the dogs, this is where Jerry will be, if he's not sleeping. :-D

 

Thank you! Unfortunately, he knows he's pretty, and can get pretty upset if strangers don't tell him so profusely.

Aww, poor Jerry. It's like he's watching that dog get to run amock, and thinking evil thoughts about him. Making masterminded plans to get out there, some day...

 

I am a pet psychic.

Jerry... . o O ( Maybe if I eats Poncho, the next time my slave goes outside, he'll bring me with him instead if he can't find that dog... And then Phase One of Plan Takeover will be complete. )

 

Jerry and Poncho get along pretty well. (When they're not chasing each other and boxing)
Jerry is giving his little buddy a bath.

 

Wow... Jerry looks absolutely gigantic next to little Poncho. :O Bigcat is big. :-D This picture is absolutely adoooorable!

 

Laura, that's AWESOME! LOL LOL LOL

I love that picture... the cat's eyes look so intimidating. Something about the shape of his eyes really gives the impression of furrowed, angry eyebrows. Love it. :-D

 

@ Musk, didn't you tell Jerry Poncho already had a shower?

 

LOL @ all of you.

 

CATS
This is Sadie with one of my daughters (long ago)


Lincoln Mercury Cougar with my youngest (also long ago)


This is Sidney (she hates everyone) she is 15

Everyone except her daddy, she gives him treats (also a while back)


This is Pawla, we stole her from her wild mother (who we also now have)

 

Neat pictures, Darlene. Pawla looks like a handful.
Tell Dan to stop eating Kitty Treats. Next, he''ll want tuna fish. LOL

 

Laura, that shot is priceless... one of those "Don't even think about touching my chihuahua" Pictures...

I posted this once before, I believe this is Solange's cat, I just captioned it... hadda sneak it in though....

Not at all, she is so sweet but skiddish, Dan and I in the same room with her freaks her out at times. I ask her for a kitty kiss, kiss her on the top of her head and she sticks her tongue out to make that smack sound, thought it was a fluke at first but no, thats her kitty kisses

 

Kitty kisses????
Jerry is much to manly to give up kitty kisses, but he does come in and tell me good night ,
no matter what time I go to bed.

 

My ex husbands name is Jerry but he's a dog not a cat

 

:-D Now that's funny!

 

Kitty kisses!! That is sooo cute! *dies a little from too much cute*

When I ask my cat for a kiss, I make a kissy sound and he stretches his head up to touch his nose to my mouth.

Yesterday he totally destroyed my friend's hand. Teeth marks and scratches and the whole thing. Everyone just sort of stared in shocked silence afterwards, including my cat... so out of character! We still don't entirely know what happened. :< Any thoughts, guys? He wasn't acting stressed or confused at all, and all my friend did was put his hand down to be sniffed.

 

He just didn't like your friend? I had a dog like that. (Australian Shepard/Golden Lab mix)
Some of my best friends would get growls and threatening looks.

 

Well, the thing is, he was petting my cat earlier just fine, and the cat was purring and rubbing his cheeks on things and seemed perfectly happy. I can normally sense when he's getting stressed, but this was just completely out of the blue. The cat seemed confused too, and kinda slunk backwards for a second and then ran off into my room.

 

Yeah, definitely. And yeah, my cat does do that. But this was like an all-out attack... my friend was gushing blood from a number of places on his hand, and had scratches halfway up his forearm. It was bizarre.

 

MuuMuu was helping do the dishes the other night..

 

Oh my god, Paxton, that pic is SO adorable! I love it! His expression is great too, just like "Hey, you. Don't judge."

 

CAT be thankful they don't out weigh us.:-D Unpredictable, my oldest one got me after we had her about three years, she was not playing. She wrapped her paws around my leg then dug teeth and claws in so hard she shook. She was never mistreated or even scolded. Dan thought she was playing I don't feel the same. From then on she got one, two, three strokes and enough. She still hisses at people to this day, kids were the worst, she would try to swat at them. We had her from the time her ears were on the side of her head so know nothing bad happened to her. In the box of her siblings she was the only one not playing, sitting in the middle looking straight ahead as if to say, God get me outta here.
I have always said you can't trust kids or animals, they'll shock you every time.

 

Well, I guess you'll always get animals who are a little... off. Just in the way you can get people who are not quite right in the head, and you never know what'll make them snap.

Guess I'll never really know what set Icarus off. I do know that he seemed to show a lot of remorse afterward, and was incredibly affectionate the rest of the day, and actually sat on the back of the chair in which my wounded friend was sitting, and the friend reported that he was purring some of the time. So, maybe that was his way of apologizing? Any way, I'll be keeping an eye on him... maybe something was wrong health-wise, and something hurt him causing him to lash out.

 

Once again (CAT) they don't think like people, they have no remorse.

 

I beg to differ. The one time my cat has ever scratched me (after being severely stressed out by a vet trip) he immediately calmed down and attached himself to me, purring and rubbing up against me. He didn't leave my side all that day and the next morning until I had to leave for work.

And the cat I had before him was a cranky little creature, who would often lash out for no reason, and then after a second, make a little trilling sound before licking your hand over and over.

I agree that cats don't think the way people do. But to say they have no remorse merely suggests a lack of understanding or experience with cats. Blanket statements like that will always get you into trouble, as there will always be examples to the contrary.

None of this goes against what I've said, that I can tell, but I could have missed something. Which part in particular were you trying to highlight? Any cat person recognizes at least most of this.

 

Aww, TxTazDad, what a cutie! I love it when pets are so loyal to their owners, whether they're cats or dogs. In some cases it's blind loyalty, obviously, but in some cases it's a hard-forged bond formed over the years. Animals really are remarkable to observe and to have around.

 

I miss my shepherd.... he was a one of a kind. Unfortunately, he was apparently abused as a puppy and this past January when we were horsing around, he just snapped and went after both of us. Unfortunately, our only option was to put him down..... that about killed me.

I will have another shepherd one of these days, but when I do, i am getting him as a puppy from Phoenix Kennels in Long Island, NY. They are one of the few on the East Coast, and I think the only ones in the North East that sell true German bloodlines from Germany.

until then tho......


RIP Daddy's Big Woofer...
