Can't leave you guys alone for a minute, I swear. I'm insisting that we dig up the old bird's grave and move him to a different spot rather than let his gravesite be disturbed by the construction around the house. This is because I killed that bird on accident and I don't think I'll ever get over it, ever, so I guess I'm an insane bird lady now. I mean, there can't be anything left of him since it's been over a year, but still. Good thing we buried him with a plastic jingly ball so I'll know which bit of dirt to be irrationally sentimental about.

My aunts dog was laying with her face under my snuggie, and I farted. I dutch ovened the dog and I don't feel bad. Kinda feel guilty about having a snuggie though.

I hold Ringo's food bowl over his head for a minute or so at dinner time, just so I can listen to him bitching at me to feed him and watch him turn into a ball of fluff. Serves him right for starting to complain two goddamn hours before his feeding time. I also occasionally sneak up on him with the dustbuster just to scare the poo poo out of him with it. He refuses to sleep on my bed because of the amount of times I've accidentally kicked him in the face, usually after he bites my feet for no apparent reason.

Batman tends to zoom through the apartment and jump up on the cat tree and WHAM! Straight into the window. He always looks so awfully indignant afterwards too, like he can't understand this happened AGAIN. And me and my roomie laugh our asses off every single time.

Superconsndar posted:Dog park confession: As much as I poo poo on dog parks, I secretly kind of wish there was one here just so I could take Frankie. He's too dumb to get screwed up by lovely dog interactions, and when he gets mad at other dogs he reacts by putting his butt on them, so he's like the safest dog park dog ever. We had one where I used to live and I would take him occasionally just to watch him freak out the other dogs with his existence and it was fun. I think Asa and Frankie would have the worlds best doggie play date. She's cute, but socially retarded around other dogs. Seriously so. She's like the kid at the playground who pees on the slide and then sits in a corner eating her own boogers. But drat does she love to pretend she's a real dog ;P

I'm a horrible cat owner. Simba Cat hates being startled. There's no reason for him to be so nervous but if he's doing something and there's even a slight noise directly behind him he will jump ten feet into the air. Guess what I love to do, especially when he's staring out the window at squirrels? After I do it he just stares at me moodily while I laugh my rear end off. Nightstar Cat is the youngest one, she's only two months old. My 5 month old daughter's room is the warmest room in the house and I let Nightstar in there to sleep at night. The boy cats are both banned, but she's my little kittygirl and I'm such a horrible person. But I'm meanest of all to Teddy Cat. He is 10 lbs of lump and my son will pick him up every night and force him to sleep with him. I don't stop this behavior because Teddy should scratch him and run off if he wants it to stop (like he does in any other situation with my son.) Teddy just lays there looking pitiful and meeping. Oh well dumbass, get up, he's already asleep! Teddy also sleeps on the stairs and I will punt him each and every morning if he doesn't move because gently caress you, move. I tied jingle bells to his tail in December and he ran around startled and confused until he fell down the stairs and hit his head against the wall. I also do this to him almost daily:  I'm not actually that sorry.

I always bring plastic barriers to put between cages during chicken shows because A lot of people bring sick or parasite infested birds, when they ask me why I do it I just tell them its because I dont want them fighting with their neighbor birds and getting hurt. Sometimes I sneak in and line the floor between them with food grade Diatomaceous earth. Im turning into some kind of crazy person.

Our "tv" room is where we have our 2 computers and desks with our tv on the wall above one of them. We pretty much sit solely in our computer chairs. My cat, Elmer, loves to sit on the back/top of my chair. He's my pillow. I keep telling him if he expects me to share my chair and take up space on my headrest while doing so, then he becomes my headrest by default. He agrees that that is acceptable. To get back at me, he sleeps on my head at night.

It's been down there for more than a year and I imagine the soil is chock full of worms and nematodes and fungi and whatnot. I moved him (that is, his jingly ball and some dirt from above it) to down next to the gas meter. Today I got a little misting bottle to mist Novolo. She fled in fear from it. I ran after her cackling and squirting away. I am the worst bird owner.

God, I always feel really guilty whenever I get angry at my cat for some reason. Because logically, I really *shouldn't* get angry at her, but sometimes it's just too much. I had to spend almost the entire day at home today, and usually this is totally fine and I like hanging out with the kitty while I work or whatever. But she was just driving me crazy all freaking day - constantly refusing to settle down, meowing and getting my attention like she wanted something when I had just fed her five minutes ago, thoroughly cleaned and switched out her kitty-litter a half hour ago, been giving her plenty of attention all morning including tiring her out with extra playtime... and yet she decided that it was prudent to jump on and off the coffee table repeatedly and pretending to settling down only to startle and get up and scamper off mrowing with her fat butt wiggling behind her into the other room as if a bomb were about to go off... only for her to slowly walk back into the room just 3 minutes later and look up at me questioningly, "can I sit with you up there I'll be good this time..." And then the whole thing repeats. It was the late afternoon when she did this for at least the 9th or 10th time, but I happened to be on the verge of falling asleep with my eyes closed and when she rushed off for no reason at all she happened to knock a half-full cup of hot tea (british style tea with milk and sugar) all over me and the table and my phone behind her with her back feet. Phone turned out okay (iphones are surprisingly liquid resistant!) but I didn't know it then, and I was just apoplectic with fury at her doing this again when I really thought she'd settled down and spilling this beverage as well (which is something she just never ever does she is usually really considerate about this stuff for a cat) in addition to waking me up from semi-consciousness by spilling hot liquid on me and I just kinda lost it. I mean I didn't hurt her or even touch her, but I freaking YELLED at her and actually chased/menaced her into the bedroom. When she pathetically tried to hide behind the curtain and only hid the front third of her body, but she was still obviously very scared and seeking refuge, I felt... so, so so so so awful. I actually started crying. I could not believe I had gotten that angry with her, I really did not think I had it in me. So I plied her with treats and tried to make peace and she was more or less fine with it, and I mean... Right now it's bedtime and she's curled up in her usual spot between/on my ankles. So I don't know. I am glad that she doesn't feel too bad about an incident like this.

I have a very dumb cat. I'm probably not helping him get smarter when I positively reinforce the dumb behavior just because he's so cute. But seriously Mooshi, why do you walk into the wall every morning? With that said, I think I (with my boyfriend's help) accidentally trained my cat to roll over in defense. Sometimes we like to play-chase Mooshi so he can get some exercise... But he'll just flop down and roll over - and it's so cute that we rub his belly. Now, he just rolls over all the time. When there's a zombie apocalypse, my cat will just roll over and get nommed. And it'll be my fault.

I mean they can all go a day and be fine I'm sure but the extension of taking pseudoscientific quackery like those "cleanse" things and forcing them on animals is pretty  , especially since it's just one day?I mean sometimes I forget to feed Sarabi but I freely admit that's just me being a lovely pet owner (and she always has access to dry).

NNNNEEEEYYYOOOOWWWWW I do something like this with my tortoise, except he's a Luftwaffe pilot: SCHNELL! SCHNELL! LINKS! LINKS! BADADADADADADA (machine gun fire) He doesn't much care for it but is safe from me at the moment on account of him being in hibernation. Don't worry, I won't do it to him directly when he wakes up - then he gets a nice warm bath and a relax in front of the fire until the weather gets warmer. I also developed the Bum Wash Trap for one of my cats - place a wide, shallow dish of water on the ground and dangle an enticing toy on the other side of it. He likes water, so he didn't give a gently caress but it made me laugh. Edit: I'd like to add the Elvis and I recreate the Battle of Britain only about once a year and I'm careful not to jiggle him about too much.

Since i moved house the 7 cats have got on amazingly well, but two of my cats have remembered their bad habit from kittenhood and started pissing in the bath again. I wouldn't mind but it soaks the floof on their back paws then they track pissy catprints through the house. So last night i filled the bath with about 3 inches of cold water and waited ...I was rewarded with splashes over the evening and soggy grumpy cats - only problem is the water looked distinctly yellow this morning so the cold bath failed to deter them

I belive it is healthy tough, sin or not. Sanity?  Amy freaked last night at circle and bolted out the door when she spotted A Guy Behind Her. This was the same guy who'd been on the floor getting kisses not twenty minutes earlier. Since I'm used to her being retarded in general, I tend to stare at the dog when we walk. Unfortunately, I was a whole leash behind her as we were going through the steel door. She whipped around the corner of the door and BANG, CRUNCH, my wrist goes numb as I desperately try to dive out the door after her so that wouldn't happen. Everyone gasps and I start swearing up and down, grab the dog one handed, drag her to the car and lock her in. She spent the rest of the night being really upset, ears shaking, tail between her legs because she thought I was super mad at her because I really, really bellowed at her about it. My wrist is incredibly colorful today and hurts like crazy when I try to support anything on that hand (to the point that my fingers spasm and I drop whatever it is) so she hosed up something really good. And I feel bad about upsetting her over it all. She spent like half of the morning with her head on my knee with these giant sad eyes.  I made dog sad.Captain Foxy posted:MUST. OWN. EVERY. REPTILE.

Yesterday, Indy was acting kind out of character - she kept licking things. First it was the condensation on the window in the morning, then it was the bottom of the shower. I had to shoo her out of the bathroom sink in the evening. Finally as I was going to bed I had to stop her from drinking the water out of a dirty dish in the kitchen sink. At which point I noticed her water bowl, still sitting in the drying rack from where I washed it the night before, and forgotten to refill it and put it back on the floor. Poor cat was just thirsty and I kept scolding her instead of taking the hint.
