Pets

[Spark]

My cat is perfectly friendly and inquisitive and not at all a scratcher/biter/bad-tempered, but also very very shy. Is terrified of strange people.

Friendly people more like.

Cats are like women, you show them attention, give them your credit card, buy them chicken nuggets and you're a freak for all intents and purposes.

Ignore the **** out of them and they love your guts and won't shut up about why a cloud tattoo is such a good vibe because it's so them.

Is it normal for dogs to wait for the postman? My German Shepherd waits everyday, either at the front door or the living room to attempt to eat her mortal enemy and gets very confused and disappointed on Sundays.

I really don't understand cat people. It's like having a child that's 15 all their life.

Given you don't have to clean up every time they want a ****, I'd say they are 14 1/2 years ahead of dogs.

I thought that was more of a wife thing to do.

It's genetic.

Do you find your German Shep has really obvious genetic proclivities? Mine has to be a full member of the Hitler youth or something, seems she hates all other breeds of dog but other German Sheps. Not complaining though, I find her race realism actually quite soothing.

This is going to sound weird or even offensive, but my dog is racist. I live in an extremely white area, so for her to see someone who isn't white seems to be confusing for her, meaning that she barks her brains out at the person involved. Thankfully, the people either don't realise the racism or just laugh at it. She's a confusing creature.

Indie is racist as well. Barks furiously at Asian people. I have a theory that it's because the grooming places we took her to when she was young had a lot of Asian employees,and she was always terrified and shaking when we took her to those places. Selectively barks at subcontinental folk too - understandably has a crack at people from Chennai and seems to see Sri Lankans, like their cricket team, as no threat at all.

Didn't mind me when I gave her chin a few scratches last year.Good god, she probably assumed I was australian? What an insult.

Don't feed it for a month it'll soon find another home.

Just accept that you are the cat's pet.

Just catching up on this thread, Spark's cat is absolutely stunning.

 

[andruid]

There's 4 kittens living in my self catering hostel ATM. Cutest looking barbershop quartet you will ever see when they are begging for food.

OMG did i just kill another thread? :sad:

Maisie is ageist and sexist. Old men with white hair carrying a stick and a backpack. Relates to the time when the guy in the village was repairing a broken door on a barn after a previous nights storm. We were walking past and the door suddenly fell down and scared the **** out of her and she ran headlong into the nearby road. The guy was a local handyman, but old,white haired and with a stick and backpack. Anyone now fitting said description gets growled and barked at....

 

[andmark]

Interesting thing on how animals see.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is it true that dogs are color blind?

 

[andmark]

Going by that video, their vision seems to be a bit darker than human vision and more short-sighted. It seems though that the whole thing of them seeing in black and white is a myth.
