Love seeing older, "gruff" guys just absolutely melt when someone gives them a puppy.

Guys do only want one thing. A fluffy pupper that they can pet and love and walk and sneak treats to when they think no one is looking.

Your cat has developed an entire language to communicate with you, specifically. We're just bad listeners.

we found Dr Fuzzbutt when he was a young kitten and he grew up alone and communicated by gently raking his claws across your tender flesh

Bean was adopted and she was a very vocal 6 or 7 year old, he started to pick up her mannerisms and now uses his words in addition to actions. it's kind of adorable. he's still real bad at purring though and kind of just sounds like he's struggling to breathe

So today I learned that my cat gets self-conscious in front of guests. Normally if I baby-carry him he complains with continual, loud meows. I did that in front of a guest and instead of meowing he eventually just gave me a quiet, complaining "mew", and not continually. It was almost as if he was whispering "Daaaad not in front of company".

As far as telling what he wants by his meows, not my cat. He basically meows to get my attention and if I do not react he will try various meows until I do, including a meow I normally hear cats do right before they barf. He doesn't make that sound when he barfs -- he just barfs -- but he's made a sound like it when he just really wanted attention.

Most of his communication is non-verbal, with meowing just to make me look at him so he can show me what he wants.

Ben is clearly a high quality dog. Any idea what breed he might be? He looks just like my dog, right down to the color patterns. I suspect mine is a mix between chihuahua and toy manchester terrier.

Yeah, his papers say purebred Russian toy terrier, but he doesn't quite look the part. Maybe that's why the breeder couldn't sell him, and how I got him for zero euro. His siblings fetched over a thousand each!

I dug up some old pics from when Toby was a puppy. Yeah Russian toy terrier looks like a good fit. Toby used to grab onto people's arms just like Ben! He uses his forelegs like a raccoon. He'll grab gates and pull them open, and he'll even pick up toys in his paws and hold them in the air when he rolls onto his back. As a puppy, he loved to play with all of his toys at once. He'd run from one toy to another, shaking and killing it. Sometimes he'd try to pick them all up at once. I think his record was 3 at a time. He loves his blankets, and would bring every blanket available to someone when he wanted to be wrapped up and held. Sometimes I wouldn't be paying attention, then I'd look down to see I was surrounded with blankets. He loves having everyone around, and gets a little sad when someone leaves the room. He'll visit each person in turn.
