Bit of fun!

I never miss the chance to annoy our Siamese as payback for his constant 2-4am daily annoyance of us by his wanting to play or get his fair share of our bed.
We are a bit sleep deprived but try to understand this fella did not have a good start to life and we surmise he has either been beaten or kicked by someone prior to us getting him, he is so very skittish which is not like his breed which are a gregarious natured type of cat. (I have had a Seal Point Siamese before.)
The breeder stated she had 11 other fully grown Siamese and ours resorted to stealing dog biscuits for food hence we named him "Biscuits".

Pic # 1 "Go away your annoying me." Pic # 2 "I'll give you the evil eye if you persist." Pic #3 "Gosh I am exhausted after that effort.":confused:

So never miss a chance to get your own back on your pet whether it is a "Woofen Barker" or a "Moggy" its worth every moment.:D:thup:

Mine used to climb up on me at night to sleep. You could hear her coming when she jumped up on the clothing hamper and then she'd pick her way up me to sleep on me...

We had a Lilac point in the early 70's. Friendliest, most playful cat I'd ever seen. Always bringing something to us at the back door. Rat, mole, but the snake was too much for my wife. Siamese are great cats. She even got along with our Bulldog.

Here's a picture of mine "sparring" in 2005. Now, we only have the one on the left - He's a Norwegian Forest Cat. - Bob

Well I guess I'll play along too.

This is Kiki. Just about the most chill cat I've ever seen. I'll pick her up and throw her over my shoulder and she's just a comfy as she can be.

Sleeps on her back as shown most of the time...when not falling asleep during a little paw cleaning.

Dumb ol' cat.

Remember stopping in to do some 'After move in repairs' on a new build years ago. Met with the lady who was on her way out to run errands. She mentioned that her cat was in there.
While working I thought a Bobcat had come in to the house.
My first experience with a Maine Coon Cat...... friendly enough, but had to be 3' long.
That's a lot of Cat !!

I've seen many people experience that when they see Kiki. All 14 pounds of her.
They just sort of trail off on whatever they're saying then go, "...that's a big cat!" Haha

No cats here anymore.
Still have the one on the left RHEA a now 11 year old Doberman that my Daughter brought home from the animal salvage.
The black and white one was WILSON he was a Cocker-Sh!t, (Cocker Spaniel/Shih Tzu mix) Wilson was a Killer, no telling what he'd square off with... Woodchucks, Snakes, Rabbits and multiple times with Skunks. He'd have to be groomed about every 6-7 weeks. He'd have a Mohawk, often dyed different colors, sometimes 1/2 and 1/2.

Here worn out:

So was mine, a female in white. Not many of them around here either.

This family rescued this fella when his mother ran off scared as they approached on the highway he was only a very small kitten, I think after about 3 years he was been given to an animal sanctuary due to him getting way larger than he is here and the fact being hand reared probably would not survive in the wild. A bobcat is certainly a big "Moggy".

I like large cats, but Non-domesticated cats have a natural wild streak that could come out at anytime. Making it dangerous to keep as a house pet. The many years show tiger Siegfried and Roy used turn on them back in 2003.

I figure he must have had his claws done, if he was having his arms around you and decided to change, you'd be hard put. Even the back ones that they use to disembowell...

Seen a few pets (mainly dogs) turn on a dime.
A niece had her faced mauled by her beloved Springer Spaniel seemingly for no known reason.
After 4 plastic surgeries scars are still visible years after.
Dog was diagnosed with Avalanche or Rage Syndrome, not commonly found in the breed.
Her parents gave the dog to friends in the country.
I still say it should have been put down, even told them so.
Why take the chance of someone else being attacked?

I cringe when I see people stick their babies face to any animal.
Again, Why take the chance?
It's still an animal.

I laugh at people when they say, "No, my dog will do this or that"... I say, "No, he's a dog, he'll do what he wants"... History until now, then history changes. It's a dog...it's an animal.

You mean like the lady who was blinded and had her face and lower jaw literally ripped off by her friend's pet chimpanzee "that never hurt anyone"?

Keeping an animal such as that is fraught with unknowns and extreme danger as a chimp has enough strength to literally pull your arm completely from your body people who keep those pets especially the twits in Dubai are playing with fire like having a Cheeter in your car with you yeah real smart ya DH's whats next an elephant riding an M1A1!

If it happened once, it could and most likely will happen again. I'm with you, put it down.

I've owned dogs for almost 50 years and never had one bite. How you raise your pets are about the same as how you raise your kids.

Yup... Except you can speak to your kids. And they can reply in a language you can understand, most times...

Similar situation with my little crippled buddies Daughters Pit bull. Absolutely vicious, I mean Brutal. Was raised to be. Chained to the wall near the front door on a 3' run.
When they could no longer control it or get any where near it they reached out to a country vet to put it down.
The Vet refused with a tone like: You made the monster you handle it.
The Daughters kids were now old enough to be walking around with many close calls.
I helped move the dog out to his farm where he dispatched it.
Sad really, wasn't the dogs fault, it was how he was raised. A dog so strong 2 of us could barely hold him off.

2 things:
1- A animal should never be fully trusted.
2- Some people shouldn't own pets.

On a lighter note,
My wife just returned from a week visit out to our Daughters in Virginia.
Daughter has a cat that has a liking to the plastic caps that cover the bolts that hold the toilet down.
Wife said she'd hear that cat knocking those caps all around the condo in the middle of the night.
Never to be found again. Daughter now too embarrassed to use the same hardware store for replacements, so she's found another supplier.
Before leaving the Wife spent sometime with the Grandson trying to straighten out his big toy box. While doing so the Wife seen the cats stash of caps inside the carpeted cat scratch pole tower. Like a towering birdhouse for a cat. Perch on top and a enclosed area that was stuffed full of the cover caps.
Like a Pack Rat, she found 9 caps and 4 bic pen tops in there. Has to be the cat, the Grandson can't reach that high.

fwiw

Mr. E,
I hope it continues for you.

Cheers

3 things;
1-People that chain dogs should never be trusted.
2-People that socialize their dogs and interact with them will have a friend for life.
3-Dogs that are brought up as part of the family will be loyal and protect their family.

Mr E,
I couldn't agree more.

Some just shouldn't own pets, same as some shouldn't be parents !

I've seen horses whipped and I've whipped people that do so.

There's one that goes back in time Charlie...

If you give your pet lots of love and respect as you should then you will have a friend for life, Biscuits is constantly trying to get under our skin to be close and whilst typical of his breed his is a little OTT but we just think its from his poor start to life and put up with it as part of his personality.
Like today just to show how good he was he made a flying leap to be on our bed with us mic-calculated came in too low connected chest first into it and came A over T onto the deck but carried himself out of our bedroom like I am the most clever cat!

Those that make their dogs savage well when they kill their child or another persons child which has happened then they should go to jail for life as willful murder as thats what they have trained their dog for a good watch dog will let you in but not out as you wont hear them until you try to leave thats when the fangs and voice come out.

Forty years ago I looked out my front door to see a man beating a dog. It was the middle of February but I was out the door in my underwear. He saw me coming and took off in his car and the dog ran away across a schoolground. I found her the next day shivering under a tire rack at a local garage. She was skin and bones and covered with cigarette burns. My heart went out to her and she became the most loyal companion to my two daughters for the next 18 years. Perhaps the prick was trying to turn Queenie into a watchdog but that Doberman never had a mean bone in her body. If you raise your children and pets with love, compassion and empathy the world would be a much better place.

Sorry to take this from a bit of fun into this direction but problem pets and children are just how they are raised,

We had a Doberman who weighed 40 kilos I am over 6' and he could put his paws on my shoulder & almost look me in the eye, would lick you to death sadly he was intolerant to any other dog so we had to take extra precautions when taking him out usually on a very lonely bush track or deserted beach and run him hard freely along side my 4 x 4.
The only thing we found he was excellent at finding and killing the bobtail goanna even down the beach he would find them and bring them back to me not a good thing if the Ranger rocked up and my woofen barker is standing there pleased as chips with a dead protected species of goanna in his chops! Got a few good stories of his adventures perhaps one day as a share he is now in the clouds chasing bobtails up there.............

Agree with E animals usually adopt their owners personality now I know why all the animals we have had & have are always clumsy & have unusual habits I mean who ever heard of a clumsy cat all of our cats we have had were/are clumsy I blame my wifes aura affecting them turning them goofy...........yikes now I know whats the prob with me!

I’m in the same camp as Mr. E Moose. Your dog is always happy to see you. Some breeds get a bad rap for aggressiveness. I feel that is a trained response not an inherited behavior.

Maybe not to my personal liking but I have friends with Pitbull’s. They love their kids and stand between them and others as a barrier. But they do not seem to get along well with other animals. Not to a fighting state, but always watchful and cautious.

Larger dogs don’t always know they are big, some are just clumsy. One of our Bull Mastiffs who always come running to greet my wife, then gets a look in her eye, uh oh, how do I stop. At 130 pounds she would bowl my wife over. My wife quickly learned to side step. These guys are gentle giants. The males are 165 pound lap dogs and during football games they want their treats when I have mine.

I believe if you want animals they should be a member of your family, and treated as such. Brought up well, good food, medical care, love and interaction with the family.

My wife, 110 pounds wet, our 165 pound bullmastiff Mack. That's a 16" cloth dog bone.

When we go on an "Adventure" Lucy is never more then 30' away from the boy. It's like she's on a perimeter patrol.
I have no doubt she would follow me through the gates of HE double hockey sticks.

I must have deleted the pictures of the cat watching TV when I added his/her (?) picture..

That's hilarious Charlie. Reminds me of Mystery Science Theater from back in the 90's. Anyone remember that show? Always good for a chuckle.
