He always bites me and tries to pull me to the ground to get me to stop.

2. 'scoopies'
I get my kitties going when I start saying, "scoopy, scoopy" - they just KNOW that they're about to be scooped up for a big hug when I do that. . . and they are NOT huggy-type kitties.

Either that, or I start following them. That gets them really paranoid. :evilgrin:

5. Sounds like my two girls.
Unless they're sleepy, they run from me because they know they are going to get held and petted on.

9. Yeah, it was kinda rotten.
Actually I used to dance in front of my dog and it drove her nuts, barking and jumping on me. Also, blowing in her face would make her snap at the air, as would the garden hose spraying in front of her.

The cat I just ignored, as it was my wife's and I hate cats.

Put them both to slepp only because they were old and real sick.

Miss the dog...

7. We used to
wait until he went to sleep, then we'd make a fart sound. That poor dog would jump awake and look at his rear and sniff the air. Then he'd come leap on us because we'd be laughing at him.

10. I poke the cats' fat bellies...
They really don't appreciate it, but they have such wonderfully fat bellies that I just cannot resist the urge to poke them with my finger.

This is not the best belly shot, but it gives some indication of the fatness.

12. I'm a belly poker too!
My grandkitty loves to roll over and show me her belly. Of course, I have to touch it..then she bites me.

14. That's awesome :)
On the kitty in the picture, I am a bit of an ear-tugger, too, since the ears are actually quite large. I have a thing for poking, prodding and pulling on the critters I love :)

19. LOL :)
That's just the one side of a very long desk. The computer side remains a tad bit more tidy than the undocumented non-computer side. It's a sea of papers, pens, mail, food baggies and cats.

by sticking my tongue out and blowing. He HATES IT! He runs and hides under the bed and won't come out. I can't figure out for the life of me why, I just try not to do it. :shrug:

20. LOL !!
Mine too! He gets into this "stance" with his front legs planted wide apart and his butt in the air with the tail going. Then he starts barking and running around the house. We have wood floors so his legs make like a cartoon dog.

18. Simba HATES my 49er Starter jacket
If I want to send him running, I take it out of the closet. He burrows under the covers and won't come out until I assure him that the jacket is safely back in the closet. Monty becomes a hissing bully when I turn the vacuum cleaner on.

22. I Let My Guitar Feedback
The dog howls. I'm not sure he's annoyed though. When i pull a guitar off the wall and plug in, he runs right over to the amp and sits down and waits for me to start playing. I can do some noodling, so two handed stuff and then hold a note. He won't make a peep until it starts to feedback. I think sometimes he thinks he's singing along. Then, i start the computer (drums and bass) and start playing a song and he jumps on the couch and just listens.

He probably thinks he's in the band! (Backup singer?)

23. closing my bedroom door when my cat is the living room
really annoys her---she always has to be in the same room I am, so when I am in the bedroom alone or the bathroom, she sits impatiently outside, often mewing

25. Take a bath..
I found out awhile back that my cat Barney HATES to see me in the tub. So from then on, every time I take a bath, I leave the door open so he can see me.

28. Mine hates the vacuum too!
She will run scared when you turn it on. When you turn it off, she'll come back and bark and growl at it. Once, I unplugged it while it was still on and waited for her to come in and act tough. Then I plugged it in again. You should have seen that puppy fly!
