1. My feral rescue cat has to be escorted to his food.

He will stand at the door and meow until we walk him to his food bowl. He especially likes it if you pet him when he's eating.

4. Thank you very much, lark. And thank you for taking care of the feral cat.

6. Foggy is a joy, we've had him for 5 years now.

2. My kitty Max

makes me feed him his kidney medicine in a lickable treat on a spoon. He eats everything else from a bowl.

5. Thank you very much, cheri010353 That's sweet.

3. My girlie doggy with whom I've now walked the equivalent of several thousand miles, could never stand

a strong gust of wind up her tush. She (Aussie/Border Collie) and her long raccoon-looking tail would start whipping around in frantic circles to try to make it stop. I always used to laugh at how she simply could not stand the wind "blowing up her skirt" while onlookers would laugh.

7. HAHAHHAHA. thank you hlth2b. That is funny.

8. Our most recent dog figured out how to escape to the front yard using the house's crawl space

He removed the screen covering in the back yard, went under the house, push out the screen for the front yard and was hanging out in our fenced front yard.

We were out of town at the time. Our dog sitter came by to give him his walk and panicked when he wasn't in the back. She figured it out soon enough.

9. That is one very smart dog there, DBoon. Thank you for sharing.

15. THAT is super smart!

you've got a doggie genius on your hands...and an escape artist! (watch out! ) LOL

10. One of my cats likes me to slide his treats across the floor

so he can catch them like a goalie or chase them under the kitchen table. He will wait in position and if he bounces it back to me by mistake, he waits for me to slide it again.

He is also a great communicator and very fluent in body language. Leading us around the house, leg hugs when he wants us to open the door, I could go on...

My other cat will wait at the water bowl until we add some ice to the water, then she will drink.

[debm55]

11. Love it. Two great cats. Thank you very much for sharing . crud.

12. I have a 7 year old Beagle. EVERYTHING she does is goofy!

13. HAHAHHAHHAHAH. That's funny, Thank you for sharing with us, beaglelover.

14. Oscar, the Tabby King of the Forest

refuses to drink water like a mere peasant. No bowls...even fountains he turns his nose up. NO, you must come to the bathroom sink as he screams and turn on the faucet at *just* the right trickle, so he may wash his dainty royal paws and drink water from the tap.

He's bougie AF

He's 13, and still the biggest BABY. I love him dearly, even though he's also an annoying loudmouth bitch...

[debm55]

16. HAHAHAHAHH. Thank you FirstLight. That is funny. I had two cats . I would only drink from the upstairs bathroom. Had to

the right trinkle. The other cat had to drink from a red Dixie cup

[justaprogressive]

17. Have a couple of cats

that only drink ice water...(that is, water with ice cubes in it.)

Then there's my beloved former feral, 1/2 Bengal who buries her canned food
2-3 separate times per serving!

I have a cushioned window perch set up for her on my side of the bed...she watches over
me all night. If I sit up during the night she jumps to the bed to make sure I'm alright.

I'm a side sleeper, sometimes when I'm having trouble settling
she'll come and snuggle behind my thighs. Always puts me to sleep.

She's a dear friend.

18. My niece's dog opens a sliding door when he wants to go into the back yard.

He hasn't figured out how to close it yet, though.

[debm55]

20. Thank you very much, greatauntoftriplets. What a smart dog.

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. He is smart.

14 years old and got a clean bill of health last fall.

[debm55]

22. Great

26. Our kitty won't eat unless there is food in her plate.

[debm55]

28. HAHAHAHAHHAH. Good one

[catbyte]

27. My cat wakes me up every morning at about zero dark 30 for breakfast.

If I don't comply immediately, she becomes increasingly obnoxious to the point of misery, lol.

She's a furry little tyrant but I love every hair on her body.

[debm55]

29. HAHAHAHA. Thank you for sharing with us. catbyte.

30. Sounds like my old boy. He sits in the windowsill til dawn, then crows like a rooster until I get up.

I will eventually get up and feed him, then he immediately leads me back to my bed, where he will snuggle up and sleep with me for another couple of hours.

31. Rescued Tricksy almost six years ago

I gave her that name because she was so good at quietly spiriting food off my plate when my back was turned. She has an odd habit of taking a mouthful of dry food in her mouth, dropping it on the floor a few feet away, then eating a piece at a time very daintily.
She and the dog next door, on the other side of a chain link fence, dug under the fence, each from her own side, and learned to pass a tennis ball back and forth under the fence.

[debm55]

32. Thank you very much, The BlueFlower. My Huskey, used to do that. Could never figure why she would do that. Some would

drop out of her mouth . She would take it back to "her" place. and it.
