the psycho cat so maybe Jake the replacement cat smells sam?

The thought of the cat on the piano cracks me up. What is it with
cats and pianos? :-)



When we feel like messing with the cats we open the lid and expose the piano
keys. The cats normally jump up on the keys and then to the top of the
piano (upright grand) to one of their nap spots. When the lid is up they
don't notice, jump right on the keys (striking a note) and it scares the
unfortunate one enough that we generally have to pull him down from the
ceiling. One of these days I'll have to video tape it.

I have never had a cat that liked to have his stomach pet.

I've had a few that like this. One of my current cats, Travis, likes
to roll over on his back when he sees me walking toward him, and then
he wants me to rub his tummy with my foot. He will roll around in
ecstasy while I do this. (I am, of course, careful not to hurt him.
I only do it if I can balance with my hand on a wall or something.)

Later in the day, I tried the same routine but this time, I left him high
and dry and went to lay on my bed. He couldn't stand it after a few minutes
and hopped up with me. After some nervous activity, he laid down and went
to sleep.

I think he's doing just fine!

LOL! Bad girl! : )

That has got to be the weirdest things I ever heard of a dog doing! Did he
watch the tv or just like to change channels like a typical male?

The dog (Col. Waldo Wasir)
would drag his wet nose along them changing the channels. Eventually,
they
would wet and the TV wouldn't work until they dried again.

My Newfoundland knows with complete confidence that if she rolls her
belly up all activity will halt so it can be rubbed. I practice
balancing and use one foot and then the other. My husband will use the
broom. If Grace thinks we haven't *seen* her belly-show, she slowly
waves a paw to bid us.

Pets - ya just gotta love 'em.

My cousins had a series of Newfoundlands (all named Doc) when we were coming
up. They were such big dogs with webbed feet! I never could love them
because they scared me but I suspect they are gentle and loving if they are
part of your family.

Every one of them is a huge package of hair and love. Nana in Peter Pan
was a Newfie.

And a Newfie won Westminster this year!
