About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies. And some little jokes.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page.


CATS rely much more on other senses, such as hearing and smell, to understand the world around them, so for some cats it may just be the noises they hear and fast movements they see that attract their attention towards the screen. Ching and Fizz, especially Ching, binge-watches fish/bird videos on YouTube. They have their own laptops for that purpose. Fizz, however, doesn’t watch as much upon knowing she couldn’t catch the birds or fish, anyways. Fizz overthinks a lot. 🐱💻🐱




WHILE not all supermarkets non-organic vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides, it is likely that the majority of non-organic produce sold in supermarkets has been treated with some form of pesticide. But I don’t get paranoid. Repeat Mark Twain: “Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.” 🍎😋🧀


THE signals and behaviors that cats and dogs use to chat are different and can lead to signals of aggression, fear, dominance, friendship or territoriality being misread by other critters. Dogs have a natural instinct to chase smaller animals that flee, an instinct common among cats. That’s what experts say to justify their research budget. But in my experience, dogs and cats are cool with each other. Little fights like what YouTube videos to watch are solved by giving them individual laptops. 🐕🥰🐈


WHILE an adventurous cat is more likely to roam, a scared cat may not trust their inner compass, get confused, and get lost. Who knows. Once a cat has wandered out of its comfort zone anything can happen to scare them further: Barking dogs, wildlife, loud traffic noise, anti Trump noise. Once their adrenaline levels have subsided, these cats will work their way back home, often showing up the next day or a few days later and tell you they just went somewhere to clear their head. 👈🐱👉


SHRINKS always ask the depressed personage. 1. Find someone to love. A dog or cat. 2. Find something to do. Watch a fine Netflix series. 3. Find something to look forward to. The new (upgrade) of iPhone. 🙂🙃😉




WHEN cats groom, their barb-like tongues stimulate the sebaceous glands at the base of their hairs and spread the resultant sebum throughout the hairs. Their self-grooming also helps rid the coat of dirt and parasites such as fleas. Remember those majick words: “Sebaceous” and “sebum.” Yes, you may also “groom” your partner via licking. Sebaceous and sebum. 🐱👅🐱


DOG and cat cognition differ due to brain size. Cats are independent thinkers and problem solvers; dogs are socially intelligent. Arrow can tell a fake news from factual news. Fizz has the “genius” brain. She figures things out: Source of laser dots, what makes the spring toy bounce etc. Ching knows where and when to get back rubs, with due respect to her hooman’s schedule. Meanwhile, hoomans are more “dog brain” and “pea brain,” that’s according to Fizz after reading FB posts, 24/7. 🐕🧠🐈


POWER-SAVE, a feature of a component or subsystem designed to actively reduce its power consumption when not in use. That’d happen to humanity when AI takes over humanity’s existence, 100 percent. We will be on constant power-save for the next streaming TV series or TikTok dance. 😴🔌😴


IF you throw a ball for your dog, her erratic movements mimic those of the prey her wolf ancestors used to hunt and kill, and even though dogs have been domesticated for centuries these instincts are still very much alive. Chasing things, hunting and retrieving is in their DNA as a means for survival. Those dogs though who don’t chase golf balls or bowling balls are trained by cats not to. Obvious. 🐕🏀🐕


WHY do cats stretch out their front paws when sleeping? It's when your cat lies on his belly and stretches out his back paws behind him and his front paws as well. It looks like Superman in flight. This sleep position is a sign of an extremely relaxed cat, and he can fall into a deep sleep in this comfortable position. Okay, of course, you may sleep that way, too. No one’s stopping you. 🐈😴🐈
