About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page. 

SOME 70 percent of today’s children spend at least 3 to 5 hours on devices every day. Which is a modest estimate, of course. So much of how children interact with each other, do their homework and entertain themselves has become more digital. Many even identify now with indoor cats. When offline, children now meow to tell mom they want dinner. Other children who ID as feral cats are “shamed” online as populists, evangelicals, or Chinese. 👧📱🧒

ARE bears really dangerous to humans? Bear behavior is unpredictable. Friendly or hostile. Each bear and each experience is unique. Yet most bear encounters end without injury. Meanwhile, there have been reports of ahimsa cats who are negotiating a truce with bears. Ahimsa cats are good at diplomacy. They can also teach bears how to google stuff or open a YouTube account so they can also watch fish videos. That’d distract bears from eating interpolating hoomans. 🐻🦊🐼

CHINESE officials have said they do not want war with America. China simply wants to do business. But you may ask, why are they buying all the chopsticks and woks in the U.S.? Nope. Those koolcats are Japanese merchants from Aoshima. Fizz and Ching also descended from that Japanese cat island, but they are mixed. The Wiz and The Zing’s ancestry are traced to Icelandic Viking Freydis Eiriksdottir and a greatgrandson of Samurai lord Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Hai! 🐱🥢👲

CHEAT, verb. Cheating, gerund or present participle. Act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination. Now, please don’t give me the correct definition, woke translation, Right-wing elaboration, or Left-wing explanation. Cheat, cheating. Done. 🤨🧐😝

DOGS can learn a lot of words in the English language or any other language that they're raised with. They can also pick up on our tones and distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar languages. Hence, they can also be taught how to write. Cyd then knew and now Fizz knows. Fizz also writes/meows in French, Says she: “Oui, les chiens peuvent apprendre à écrire.” Oui! 🐱👩‍🏫🐱

WHAT does “the world revolves around you” mean? To think you are extremely important; showing arrogance and conceit. But then, in case you’ve been isolated or indoors a lot even before the pandemic, and you spend 99.9 percent of your days in your bedroom, that’d mean your world is your room. Surely, your cats get offended by your arrogance and conceit. That is why they bitchlap you all the time. Now you know. 😁😒😾

RESEARCH shows dogs can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression on a chemical level. There's ample studies highlighting the efficacy of trained service dogs, particularly those who are bred to have a calming temperament. So in case you are having “long Covid,” start sitting with your dog an hour a day. Your dog can prescribe you better treats to eat and lead you to the best spots in the yard to sniff-sniff. Good for your mental health, I guess. 🥹😭🐕

CATS have been shown to respond very positively to cat-specific music. Cat-specific music is mostly classical music, which also mimic/s sounds like purring. Cats tend to enjoy cat-specific music much more than music made for humans. Ching enjoys Erik Satie’s “Gymnopedie #1” and Franz Schubert’s “Schwanengsang D. 957” as background to fish and bird videos. Fizz though doesn’t dig the word “cat-specific.” She says it is an “incorrect” word. 😼🎼😽

THE Philippines is the country that takes the most selfies. Top selfie-madness people live in Makati City and Pasig, urban areas in Manila, with a population of around 500,000, who take around 258 selfies per 100,000. So you know why I have 5,000+ selfies stored on my FB. My nieces CD, Denise, Chien, and Chynna have 7k each; my nephew Rael Kobe has 1 million+. But the selfie winner in the family is my youngest bro Alvaro, with 3 million selfies, excluding 4 million videos, LOL! 📱📲🇵🇭

DOGS can use surprisingly complex tricks to deceive humans. Dogs aren't as honest and obedient as they might like to have us think. Especially if your dog lives with a cat. Cats teach dogs so many tricks. Such as the Lee Strassberg Method Acting. Almost all domesticated cats went to that school in New York. Feral cats got their lessons from shinobi koolcats in Aoshima cat island in Japan. These smart vagabond koolcats snuck in American merchant ships to go elsewhere, such as in Asheville. 🐕😹🐕‍🦺
