Rules of Cat Behaviour

posted by laura1233214

If you have to throw up, get into a chair quickly. If you cannot manage
this in time, get to an Oriental rug. Shag is good!
Determine quickly which guest hates cats. Sit on that lap during the
evening. He won't dare push you off and will even call you "nice kitty."
If you can arrange to have cat food on your breath, so much the better.
For sitting on laps or rubbing against trouser legs, select colors which
contrast with your own.
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do
anything. Just sit and stare.
Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get one open, stand...

5 Reasons Why Your Dog Should Sleep In Your Bed At Night

posted by laura1233214

Healthy for you

Contrary to the popular belief that sleeping with your dog could be unhealthy, it is actually the opposite. If you’re fighting depression, stress or anxiety, dogs can provide a good therapy session if you curl around them during the night. Keeping stress and depression away can make you less prone to heart attack and even lower cholesterol level. A stress free life is a healthier and happier life. So if you don’t have allergies or asthma, then sharing your bed with a dog is not a bad idea.

1. Earthquakes

Records as far back as ancient Greece tells of dogs fleeing the city of Helice before a tragic earthquake. China also has stories of dogs showing signs of distress before seismic activity. Although dogs are very much aware of their surroundings, some...

Science Confirms Dogs Love Us 🐶🐱

Science Confirms Dogs Love Us

Science has confirmed that dogs love us back, because they get the same rush of Oxycontin when they look at us that we get when we look at them.

No, really!

Are you telling me dogs look up at us and see us adorable?

The dog is thinking: I am a fuzzy creature and your a different adorable creature. And you smell interesting. I love you!

(The cat is thinking: I am a graceful leader to be worshiped. You should bow when I enter the room.)

This explains why superior cats occasionally try to bathe us.

It's true. Cats see us giant, dumb, hairless babies. That's why they bring...

Life Explained by God

Life Explained by God

When God created the world, he also created the dog, the monkey, and the cow. It's a simple story, told through the eyes of the dog, the monkey, and the cow, and their conversations with God during creation.

God Created the Dog
On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed with the dog.

On the second day, God...

If a Dog was Your Teacher, You Would Learn:🐶

posted by laura1233214

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Dogs love 'em.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Enjoy dog days.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple doggie growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady dogwood tree.

The Cat’s Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since...

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except...

PREHISTORIC DOG FOUND WITH MAMMOTH BONE IN MOUTH

Paleolithic dog remains were found, one dog with a large mammoth bone in its mouth.
