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

Previously posted on my Facebook Page.

SOME people’s Facebook addiction can be weird and idiotic but good for others. Uh huh. We read a number of news reports about suspected thieves who were easily caught by cops because before fleeing the scene of crime or thievery they updated their FB page first, complete with selfies, emojis, and stickers. Good work, uh huh. 😒🤪😎

CATS have a particular way of finding their favorite spot in the house. Chances are your cat's favorite hiding place is sunny, safe and far away from anything too disruptive – a perfect little personal cat oasis. That is why Fizz and Ching follow me wherever I go. I am also a cat, disguised as a Pasckie. 🐈🪣🐈‍⬛

DO dogs talk to each other? Yes. Pheromones, glandular secretions, barks, whines, yips, growls, body postures, etc., all serve as effective means of communication between dogs. Unlike in people, canine body postures and olfactory (scent) cues are significant components of dog language and vocal communications are less significant. Or they just text or IM each other. Cats taught them those skills. 🐕🐩🐕‍🦺

SELF-CENTERED, preoccupied with oneself and one's affairs. I don’t think I am. I am not. Do you agree or disagree with what I post, 24/7? Especially the political rants? Wwww-what? Who cares about what you think, anyway. Are you a bonafide member of the Trump Cult, Biden Cult, or Dray Cult? LOL! 😒🤪😎

EXPERTS say cats catch their prey and defend their territory from those who might be after the same prey. A yarn? Fake news. An animal who looks like a yarn? None. In fact, our cat Fizz The Wiz doesn’t do yarn at all. She prefers books like Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea” and Melville’s “Moby-Dick,” she loved them! But not Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The book ended in shreds, some pages in scratches. Fizz: “There’s no damn bird in that book, dude!?!” 🐱🧶📚

DO cats sing? That depends on how technical you get with the definition of “singing.” It can just refer to making or performing musical sounds. Cats do that all of the time, when they meow or even howl in a melodic way, but scientists don't usually refer to these behaviors as singing. To some those are singing. Example is Barry Gibb, who is actually a cat disguised as a member (brother) of Bee Gees. He sings as a cat and as a hooman as well. 🐈👩‍🎤🐈

SQUIRRELS come to your bird feeders because they are also wild animals (like birds) looking for their next meal. So why not just offer them one instead. As mentioned, this won't suit everyone, but placing specific feeders for squirrels out far from the bird feeding stations may just quash their hunger. Birds with feeders and squirrels with feeders, Ching and Fizz will have an improved live entertainment to watch. Fizz would video-document some actions that she’d like, I am sure. 🦨🐈🦜

DOGS singing along with the family is a surprisingly common behavior. We can blame their wolf ancestors for it, says Bryan Bailey, a dog trainer with Taming The Wild, based in Memphis. “Dogs and wolves share all but 0.2 percent of their mitochondrial DNA,” says Bailey. Get that? Mitochondrial DNA! Mitochondrial. (Truth is, Bryan Bailey is a cat.) 🐕🧑‍🎤🐕‍🦺

DO dogs and cats dream? Yes! Dogs and cats, a mammal or a bird, dreams just as much as we humans do! Since dogs and cats sleep so many more hours a day, scientists also assume that your pets dream more than you! Arrow growls in her sleep that seems to say, “Lose the cellphone!” and Fizz meows, “Get that TV remote!” Ching though is sort of different. Eyes closed, she purrs, “I wanna catch that fish and ceviche it with Pasckie dude!” 🐕😴🐈

SUPPLY chain issues involve a shortage of aluminum cans and carbon dioxide. Brewers also said rising prices and transportation are impacting their bottom line. Experts said all of these factors combined could result in fewer varieties of beers available. Bad. Really, really bad news! Apocalypse. End of the world. 🍺🍻😱
