I am sure that there are quite a few Pet lovers out there in terb land. My observation in life is that those who love women, also tend to love animals.
Myself, I have a couple of cats. Not planned, just worked out that way. They are both older and were headed for the incinerator unless somebody took them in, and I figured what the hell. I always had dogs and cats growing up and had been sans pets for quite a few years figuring I didn't have the time, etc. to look after animals. Well, I must say, I feel a lot happier having these two puddies around. The only problem is that they are two older females and they want to kill each other, so I have to keep them apart.
The one has this funny habit that when she hears me on the computer in the other room, she comes and winds herself around my feet and generally makes a pest of herself until I get up and then she runs out of the room and depending on her mood, will either run downstairs (feed me) or into the bedroom (give me attention.) She makes me laugh. Also, she is terrified of rain, and thunder just about sends her round the bend. If it's raining out, she disappears to under the bed and tucks herself in a corner and will NOT come out for hours after the storm has passed. The other strange thing she does is when she uses the litter box, she tends to balance herself right on the edge to avoid stepping into the box for some reason. I have never seen a cat do this before.
The other cat is the most elastic cat I have ever seen. You can bend her 360 degrees and in every direction. It's like she doesn't have a spine. And she can cram herself into the smallest opening. For some reason, this cat loves to play hide and seek. You come into the room and she runs and hides under the furnature, then as you walk by she reaches out with her paw and swats your foot, then runs out and jumps onto the couch and wants to play fight. She could play fight for hours, while the other one has no interest in it whatsoever.
Anyway, that's a couple of my pet stories. Wondering if anyone else has nutty animals at home.
