7. Ours has a soft touch

Pat pat on the face, sneaks her little paw under the blanket if you try ignoring her.

9. I have one that does that,

isn't it just so sweet? He will do it if I am sitting here doing what I am doing now. Even if I reach over and pet him now and then that soft hand on my arm or stomach or cheek. He is the sweetest boy ever.

6. My first ferret

Had run of the house. I only put her in her cage when I needed her out of the way or needed to keep her safe. Her dish was in her cage though, and I kept her kibble in a Gatorade bottle on top of it. She climbed the cage one morning because her dish was empty and knocked the bottle to the floor then rolled it around trying to get into it. That woke me up so I fed her and went back to bed.

The next morning she did it again, but her dish was full. She just wanted me out of bed to play and had figured out how to get me up.

10. This is adorable.

Irritating I am certain but so adorable. The way it looks at her then does it again. Awwwww.

11. One of our cats comes in and lies on top of my husband

and puts his paws in my husband's mouth, which tends to wake him up.

13. This critter is being very subtle and his/her human should be grateful.

I used to have a dog who was very particular about water in her water dish. If it was empty she would pick it up and knock me over the head with it until she got water. If I was sitting or lying down it came she belted me upside the head with the empty dish. If I was standing, it was banged against my knee. Food dish - no issue, but let the water dish get empty, and I felt it. Needless to say I was very attentive to the level of her water dish.

15. I love it, I had a dog that did that. I didn't keep his bowl in the beadroom.

[tblue37]

17. I bet the cat carried his empty bowl to the bedroom.

16. I had a dog who would ring a bell with his nose to be let outside

It was one of those cases where it wasn't clear who was using operant conditioning on who.
