This came from the thread where some stories about cats were swapped. I thought we should open it up for all sorts of pets and for us to share funny stories.
When I was about six we had several gold fish we were keeping. We also had several cats that liked to watch the all fish channel. Occasionally one would get up to the tank and try to catch a fish. Their expressions once their paws hit the water was rather funny. I swear they were thinking, "Nooo! What a cruel irony this is! The fish are in water!"
I was seven when we got a litter of kittens. The mother cat had been hit by a car and the neighbors were moving so Mom offered to take them in and find homes for them.
Once they were big enough we'd let them wander around on the dinning room table.
We also had two very large and very mellow dogs at the time. Kelly and Dawn were both dumber than a pile of rocks but they were great dogs.
The first time the kittens saw the dogs they jumped up on their claws, hissed, and spat. They were as puffed up as they could be and were going absolutely nuts because the dogs were staring at them. The dogs were curious in them.
Later on we later found one of the kittens soaking wet and thought he had fallen into the water bowl. Turns out Kelly was licking him in order to clean him.
Our fourteen-year-old cat Orca was a dump job in a grocery store parking lot. She was an extremely active kitten. We had a corner in our hallway and she would be running down the hall so fast she'd literally bounce off the walls when she hit that corner. She'd then hit the kitchen floor but was going so fast she couldn't stop. She'd slide all the way across the floor until she hit the sliding glass doors. After a few seconds she'd be burning rubber across the kitchen floor and do it all over again!
Merlin, well, he's just a little monster. He turns everything he can find into a toy. He's so darn cute though and people don't believe what a little monster lies under that cute face.
Cats with laser lights are highly entertaining.
