Don't you love it when your dog just comes ambling in the room |
|
from some other part of the house and looks at you like "Hey man what's up?"
Cracks me up. She looked at me in a "hey" sort of way, scratched herself, came on over, curled up at my feet.
I love my cat in a different way.

1. LOL - That look sure beats the hell of when your dog |
|
comes amblin' in the room with a guilty look on his face. Or the very angelic, "what? what?" look.
Know what I mean?

5. Yes I know that look very well |
|
Usually accompanied by an odor that you have to go find.

7. Yeah, that too. Mine usually have the trash in the bedroom |
|
out of the trash and onto the floor. Or something I left out that they thought was a chew toy.
Then they come rat themselves out. Goofy.

2. Yeah, well such was the case before |
|
Poor Al, he comes in the room, bounces off of four or five things, pants over the empty love seat for 30 seconds, then manages to figure out where I am / we are and comes over to say "Hey!", get scritched, and lay down.

3. ...I get that funny feeling in my chest when those scenarios take place. |
|
My Siamese cats can do the same thing with me at times.

4. I think that all dogs have the "hey, what's up" gene... |
|
It's their way of submitting without really submitting I think. Dogs just seem to need us more than cats do. I've had both, though right now I only have a dog. Cats are kinda, "aren't you lucky to be sharing my space!?"
It's all good with pets. I just gave the "world champion and still undefeated" tummy rub according to my canine friend. She's still looking at me with those adoring eyes. :-)

6. OK, but only submitting in a general sense, I think it's more of a |
|
social thing, interacting with the rest of the "pack"

I use "submitting," because in my case I rescued a seriously ALPHA female Akita who resisted any and all attempts at pack socialization for about a year. She loves us now, but if I told you about the growing pains!?
I shouldn't have said it for all dogs. Count me educated. :-)

When I came home today my cat was all curled up on my bed and looked up at me like "What the FUCK are you doing here?"
Then I talked to her and she yawned, stood up, showed me her ass as she walked away, jumped off the bed and got UNDER the bed.
Well fuck you too Clarissa! I feed you dammit!

I don't mean that in a bad way. :-)
I'm just picturing my former cat doing the same thing. I swear she taught my current dog, because when she's in a snit, she reverts to the Angel Attitude: "sniff loudly, turn around, present ass."
My dog also grooms herself just like my cat used to do. (Yes, I got the dog after the cat. The dog is just confused about her species, I'm thinkin' LOL.)

14. That happens. I got a cat who was raised by a dog, |
|
and then years later a dog who was rasied by this cat, and then two cats raised by the dog who was raised by a cat who thought she was a dog. Jesus, what a mess. Now I just have one dog. She knows she's a dog, and she is a good dog.
