OT: Things we do to our pets

[Starhawk]

I have a cat named Min Lee and a Dog named Rascal Bibbles (yes my dogs had middle names, my old dearly departed dog Doger's middle name was Rocky)

Anyway my cat is a midgit flame point Siamese (by midgit I mean he's supposed to weigh about 10 pounds but max's out at about 5, he's also far more compact then he's supposed to be). I don't torture him much anymore now that he's older but when he was younger I'd LOVE playing around with him.

One of the things I'd do is when he was standing on a really narrow object I'd start rubbing his side really fast and he did what cats do when they are being petted he'd start arching his back, well this of course lead to him falling off and promptly either biting me or looking up with that look that cats get that says "SOme day you'll be sleeping and WHAM!"

Another funny thing to watch was when my Dodger and Rascal would gang up on him and he'd play all Martyr and run to the nearest human like the dogs were the ones doing it all.

It was especially funny when he would latch himself to Rascal's jowls (She's part hound part pitbull so she's got a lot of flappy skin on her mouth) with his teeth and claws and she'd just walk around with him stuck to her....apparently in no pain at all.

One time he actually jumped on her back and went for a brief ride before she rolled over and he found himself on the wrong end of 20 pounds of dog lol.

It was even funnier the day she finally realized she was bigger then him and he came charging down the stairs racing at her about to leap when suddenly she just stands up and he hits the breaks and skids......a moment of "OH CRAP" look on his face and she cocks her head before lifting her right forpaw and promptly slapping him across the floor.....naturally a vigorous chase began and much to Min's dismay Dodger came down the stairs just as he and Rascal were running up the stairs....SLAM DOGPILE lol

Well now that Min's older and Dodger has passed away Min Rascal seems to have forgotten that she's bigger then the cat and it's not unusual to find her cowering somewhere whimpering (usually the kitchen)until a human comes and saves her from the evil kitty LOL (he of course just sits there looking at her like "What I didn't do anything") mind you she's now 50 pounds and he's still 5 lol
