I have a cat who likes to fetch. I throw a toy and he brings it back to me. Sometimes he drops it into my hand.

My budgie Sparky goes to his seed bowl, picks a seed, and runs back to his mirror and feeds his reflection. Then he goes from the mirror, feeds his reflection, then back to his seeds and mirror and so on. :smile:

Snoop used to do that as a kitten. Cute.

In our last house when we went on walks our outdoor cat would sometimes follow us. We came up to a house in the neighborhood at night, and they had a lot of porcelain animal figures on display, and one looked really lifelike… turns out it was our cat sitting up looking at us. About 8 houses down from ours.

A long time ago i had a cat that would climb up the door frame and wait for someone to walk through and would pounce on their head. It also ate canned mushrooms.

i had a cat who picked her own flavour of tin food. I always lined the cans of different flavours up and the cat made her pick.

When you tell her to do something she doesn’t want to do she cocks her head and stares at you like “…really?”

Like the other day I took her out to go potty and she peed but I wanted her to poop but kept telling her to go potty anyways and she did the head cock and was like “really? I already went what else do you want” or when I told her to get out of the pantry same attitude :joy:

I used to take my dog to the local supermarket. He loved it because he got a lot of attention. I would always get him a rawhide bone. He knew a trip to the supermarket meant a bone.

But I would never do that nowadays. It seems loads of dogs get stolen all the time now. It is terrible

I wonder what your dog would do if he saw a sphere or a pyramid? :thinking: :smile:

Question – In the UK, by cylinder do you mean a garbage can (waste bin)?

I ask Harper if she is a hungry girl and she nods her head yes if she wants to eat, if she doesn’t she turns her head away from me.

Whe our kitty saw us cooking, she’d pick up her food bowl in her mouth, and let it drop to the floor making a loud noise- then ‘smile’ at us. Repeatedly.
Until the bowl was filled.

When she wanted to go out in the backyard (we taught her to stay in our yard-and she did) she would come to me saying (I swear) “Me Out!”
Then sit there looking at me until I said,
“Ok, go to the door and wait.” and to the back door she went, sat, and waited until I let her out.
When the sun wen’t down (or dinnertime) I’d go to the door and call her, and she’d come running in.

Sometimes when I say “hi” to my cat or ask her what she’s doing, she’ll meow at me. She also likes to stand on my shoulders.
