Have you any funny or cute cat or dog habits or behavior to share?

Several years ago, I was in the bathroom rinsing out the sink after shaving. Sawyer my adopted baby boy saw some water dripping and tried to catch a drop with his paw. After several attempts, I decided to place my hand under the faucet letting the tiny stream of water run down my fingers and he would lick the dripping from the ends of my finger tips. This went on for several minutes until he had enough. Since this is so cute my partner got some of this on the phone figuring this was a one time little happy moment.

Many hours later I went to pee. Sawyer could hear me from his treehouse in the living room he jumped down and after a few tries he remembered exactly where to position himself he looked up at me as if to say, "Okay dad you can turn on the water now" and once again drank until full.

So here we are, a few years later. If Sawyer gets thirsty he looks up and tells his daddy. He will NOT drink from a bowl on the floor that is something only for common pedestrian kind of cats who have no real sense of style.

Being the proud father I really am, any visitor who happens by gets to watch daddies boy being cute and ever so smart. All I need to do is call out his name and turn on the faucet do unless he had water recently he will come running.

Of course there are times I can't be here so there is s large coffee cup next to the faucet. For much longer times of absence I I have a kitty sitter they are given hands on instruction and written steps as well.

In case of a real emergency the sitter is instructed to put down additional tubs water and food.

Don't you folks agree what a lucky daddy Sawyer has?

Our family had a cat, or more accurately a cat took our family over, that would sometimes try to catch the water dripping from the tap if that not had been turned off fully. He'd sit on the draining-board - a practice we tried hard to break - watching the water then try to catch it in his mouth. He never quite timed it right though, and usually ended up with a wet face but just as thirsty as when he'd started.

Yet if you put a bowl of fresh water down for him he tended to ignore it, we think because he could taste or smell a faint tinge of chlorine too weak for human senses to detect.

The garden pond seemed tastier. He'd lean over the edge, gently pushing the surface film and detritus aside to drink the clean(?) water this revealed.
@ArishMell Ah, what a sweet little guy. Thanks for a quick glimpse into his busy but happy life sir.

@Grateful4you A pleasure!

Some years ago at work, someone started a thread on the company Intranet's internal social site, about the "Psychology Of Cats". It triggered a list of daft cat behaviour, and eventually someone remarked,

"Cats don't have psychology. They just are."

My dog has a favorite toy. She grooms it and always knows where it is. But the cutest thing is when she’s ready to sleep, she brings it to bed. I know it’s bedtime when she brings the toy to me. If it falls between the bed and wall she’ll wake me up so I can grab it for her, and if I’m accidentally lying on top of it she’ll dig at me until I roll off of it.
Last year going on a vacation we had a good 8 hours of travel before arriving at our cottage, and the moment we got inside while I was still unpacking she found her toy, brought it to a bed (that she had never seen before!) and fell asleep with it on a pillow 😁
@itsok OMG, I sure would love to meet her. She sounds exceptionally smart and a lot of funny I sure appreciate your sharing this.

My dog likes to roll around in the grass literally every time I take her out. I see her sniffing thinking she's about to go potty or that she found something in the grass, but then she just flops over onto her back and starts wiggling around like a turtle on its shell. The smile on her face as she does this is about as wide as it can get, so it's really goofy looking all around

@TinyViolins What a great story I so loved reading this. Your girl is beautiful and looks ever so happy the way things should be. Glad you took yhr time to share this.

When I don't let my cat outside for whatever reason, she'll try to unlock the door to open it herself.
@BarbossasHusband If she is anything like my Becky, even though Becky HATES being outdoors, She HATES a closed door equally she will very loudly yell her protests staring straight in obvious disgust.

Becky, like your own kitty will try and open the door herself but she is too tiny. People are amazed by the power of her voice since she is so little. Becky is a foundling who was probably dumped, good people, please report any sbuse/neglect you observe. Remind your young ones, these precious souls depend on folks like you and me for their survival. Thanks all!
@BarbossasHusband Oh yes, my Aketa mix loved nothing more than munching down on ice cubes. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
My dog has figured out how to help herself to ice cubes from refrigerator's dispenser
@SooperSarah It's so amazing when they demonstrate how clever they really are. I know of some people who should be that smart (((WINKS)))
