I have 2 cats who are slightly crazy (in a good way!) and slightly neurotic (as all cats can be.)

I've had this self cleaning litter box thing for about 2 years now (I got it for my b-day, I had asked for a Cuisinart, but got a fancy litter box instead...)

If you haven't seen one, basically, it has this sensor inside that knows when the cats have been in there to do their business, then after a few minutes, this motorized rake goes across the box and scoops all the treats into this nifty container.

I swear, every time the motor starts up, both of them will bolt to the box, and try to attack the rake, I don't know if they think it's attacking us, or, if they think it's a toy, but they can't seem to get enough of this thing. Once in a while, one of them will get in the box at the exact moment that the motor starts up, I shouldn't laugh and enjoy the hilarity as much as I do, but it's truly a little slice of heaven whenever it happens! Although, the ensuing pooping in my shoe for laughing at said hilarity, is not quite as much fun as you might think.

So, if you ever ask for a Cuisinart, and get a fancy litter box instead, count yourself among the blessed, unless, of course, you don't have cats, then, you can just be pissed!

That's hilarious!

Have you ever tried grating cheese with the rake? Who needs a Cuisinart anyway? It's a bigger bitch to clean than the litter box, and it takes up just as much counter space.

I came home to a nice present from one of the cats after being gone 4 days: a dessicated mouse that looked like it had 2 heads, but was actually just the artfully arranged liver. Thanks!

They just wanted to show you what they had learned in school while you were away. It's nice to see that the public school system isn't failing everyone!

I don't know how my boys would do if they ever came across another living creature, since we live in an apartment, they don't get to go outside and hunt, considering what cowards they are, I don't think I would have to worry about any mouse autopsies.

Cat's are very clever. We have three outside mouser's on the ol' farm (Funny Farm Anyway)! I usually feed them in the evening's and try never to forget. Every time I do I always find a dead and partly eaten mouse on my doorstep! HEY.....REMEMBER US!

It's a lovely gift!

I'll never forget my best friend telling me about the baby bunny head (only) that her kitty left on the doorstep on Easter morning!

Aaaah cat people. Ok. I guess cat people are people too.

Over the last few months, our dog, a german shephard mix, has enjoyed howling like a wolf, head back, eyes closed, with that soulful, long howl whenever he hears a siren. Outside, on the radio, on TV, it doesn't matter. He howls.

I also trained him to howl like this whenever he needs to go outside. But that was before he started howling at sirens.

My dog likes to eat its own poop. He is a 3 year old dalmation. ANy body else have this problem?
Ive heard this is a common problem with dogs. But its not only his poop, he will eat other dogs poop too. When I take him to the dog park he always has some turds hanging out of his mouth. The smellier the poop, the more he likes it.
I'm not sure what to do about this problem, its really disgusting. I brought him in the Yugo once, and boy did he leave a present on my nice new lamb skin seat covers. Lets just say he is no longer welcome in the yugo until he stops eating shit( pardon the pun)

Hey justin, Most dogs will eat poop. So yes your dog is normal. For some reason the smell of fresh dung on a hot summers day is mouthwatering to our canine friends.

Carry some Cyan Pepper and water with you. Sprinkle it on the poop and he won't eat it for very long!

For a while, we had a boxer, my mother-in-law's dog that we inherited when she passed. This dog was as dumb as a brick, she would literally stick her nose up my dog's backside and eat the poop, right out of the hatch. We took to calling her "turd burglar". We had to give the boxer away before she got killed by our dog (I have a Rottweiler).

Now we have this cat that my oldest gave my wife and this little thing TORMENTS the Rottweiler. It's hilarious.

LOL BRIAN! Yeah Ive seen that at the dogpark! A dog will eat the poop right out of the other dogs hatch, that is so weird! The irony of the whole thing is that Dogs have the cleanest mouths of any animal including humans! Infact Dogs have much cleaner mouths than humans, yet Dogs eat POOP, Go figure! My Dog also eats its own Barf. He will vomit on the floor than one minute later he will eat it back up! Then he will come over to me and demand a slobbery kiss, ON THE LIPS!

Wow, I'm sorry I started this thread...

First they eat their poop then wash it down with fresh water from the toilet and come a runnin for a great big wet one! Just make sure everyone flushes! You don't want your pooch bobbin for floaties!

Hah nah, neither the dog or the cat drink out of the growler ... we put the stop on that RIGHT away.

Lessee ...

I tend to sleep with ... nothing on. (Don't be horrified, this is going somewhere). My dog will often wake me up by slobbering on my face to let me know she needs to go potty ... well this one time I must have REALLY been out because that didn't work. So, she stuck her head under the cover, and I wake up to my dog slobbering on my arse, licking away on the ol' cheek. THAT woke me up in a hurry! My wife was in hysterics, she was crying she laughed so hard when I shot up and screamed at the dog.

LOL good times Brian! And by the way, don't be ashamed to admit that you sleep in the nude, because in all honesty, who doesn't?
Its a good thing your dog was neutered because things could have gotten much hairier (pardon the pun)

Boy, this reminds me of a few years back when the X wife and I were making "Whoopie" in bed one night. Things were getting hot and heavy when all of the sudden our Giant Black lab jumpes up on our bed and tried to "join in".
To make a long story short, he got a spanking, and a trip to the Vet to get neutered the next day. (The dog, NOT ME!)

Well the dog is a SHE ...

Another story (we ALL have them about our animals!)

My wife was eating one of those Reser's frozen burritos ... the phone rang and she got up to go to the other room to answer it. She gets back and tbe burrito is gone ... and my dog is trying any way possible to make it so no part of the burrito is showing out of her mouth, of course with the dopey big-brown-eye ahh shit I got caught look on her face ... my wife of course yelled at the dog, and got mad at me when I howled in laughter when she told me that.

Why do dogs sniff crotches??? Do they smell stinky?

For the same reason they lick their balls.

Because they can.

(Jeez, didn't you learn ANYTHING in 5th grade?)

You snooze you loze! Same thing I was gonna say.....you beet me to it!
