But Bob Barker is older than dirt - didn't you hicks get the Price is Right there?

My kitty now has a $700 penis....I'm too tired to go into it all again, I think I talked about it here in another thread somewhere....uti...kitty hospital for 3 days...yadda, yadda, yadda...

More recently, he had a hangnail claw on a front paw - he kept getting himself snagged on things. I was in the kitchen and heard him wailing like crazy - he got stuck on the couch and was twisting himself around to try and break free. Poor baby....I think I was more scared than he was!

Oh. right. My mom was really big on it, I guess not everyone is/was. I wish there were a bunch of kittens around when I was little! we only had one litter, ever.

I just remembered the funniest thing that ever happened to my cat. He was drinking out of the pool (a big no-no!) and I usually tap on the window to get his attention so he will stop. Well, this one particular day, he had his back toward me and I BANGED on the window, and he JUMPED forward, directly into the pool. I ran outside, thinking he was drownDing, but of course, he could swim. He swam to the ladder and climbed out. Smart kitty. And then I couldn't stop laughing. Once he got over the embarrasment and came out of hiding, I toweled him off and he was fine.

They had some unsettled business.
My cat gets in horrible fights. The sound of cats fighting is bone chilling. I'll run outside with whatever in my hand to try to break it up. The last one left him with a gaping hole in his neck. Took him to the vet and there was nothing they could do for it. But he pulled thru.

Squirt a hose on 'em! That's what I do, it works!

That's hella funny. don't you think it's weird how cats can be embarrassed? I've never seen a really embarrassed dog. Contrite, though, dogs are good at that. But, I've never seen a contrite cat...

Yeah - when they get that "I meant to do that" kind of attitude...OH! Just around the corner from my house, I saw a cat getting dive-bombed by a bird. There must have been a nest nearby...I actually stopped the car to watch and was LMAO. The cat was casually walking verrrrry sloooowly, like "Go ahead, keep pecking my ass, see if I care." The bird was relentless, it was too funny!

Thank god your cat was OK. Our neighbors down the street had a poodle that wasn't too lucky and was too old to do anything. Poodles are notorious for bad eyes as they age so coupled with her being an older dog (16), she couldn't see well either. This past winter she went near the pool and fell in. They found her the next morning and absolutely were in hysterics. It upset me so much because I know how much we love our dog (she's also a poodle). If something were to happen to her i'd be more than crushed. She's been my best little buddy since i've been in second grade. They bought another puppy a few months ago and are being extremely cautious.

Whenever my dog does something wrong, she puts her paws over her eyes...little ****. She got into the trash recently. My mother and I come downstairs to find crap all over the kitchen floor. She's knows she's in trouble when she hears, "Muffin Lynn! What did you do??" *paws over eyes* Also, this Christmas she started opening up presents underneath the tree (I have video of that I should upload). She's become rather brazen in her old age!

When my first cat Neelix was still pretty young and I was still trying to teach her certain things, like, Neelix Can Not Eat Mari's Food, she was crazy about lasagna. Just the right cat for me, we both love cheese

Well, one time I was so ignorant to leave a pan of lasagna in the kitchen without something to cover it.. and she jumped right into to it.
She's also jumped in a pan of frying oil (fortunately cold at the moment!!!). Now she's too heavy to jump on the kitchen counter, phew.
She also used to pee on my bed covers to let me know the kitty litter needed to be refreshed... very nice.

The other one, Patsy, is a real acrobat. I live in an apartment three stores high, and she's jumped of my balcony three times already without ANY sign of harm. Had her checked out by the vet each time, of course!
