Cats and Their Gifts To Us

For me, one of the many joys of owning outside cats is the very real possibility that I can walk out onto my deck in my bare feet and step in squirrel guts. Don't laugh, I'm not kidding. Anyone who owns or has ever owned an outside cat knows that outside cats think the world exists only to supply them with vermin-ridden small creatures to destroy.

Many cat lovers will tell you that a cat is giving you a high honor by placing a mangled rabbit on your doorstep. Horse puckey. They do it to make you scream in revulsion and/or vomit. Making your owner sick is a high honor in the halls of cat-dom.

We have two outside cats, Yum Yum and Lonely. Yes, Lonely. Well he is Lonely No More now that he found a place to live. Yum Yum? Well, my kids named her. They don't like to be petted like normal cats, and they take great measures to avoid human contact.

Lonely looks like the feline hair ball and Yum Yum is a cute, it not feisty, black and white "friend." Their true talents, however lie in their bloodthirsty pursuit of hapless small animals. Squirrels, rabbits, birds, mice, you name it. I have seen all of their insides. I look at the cats and they give me this "What? Did I do something wrong?" look. Well, yes, you did.

If only I could scold them and make them clean up their mess. But that wouldn't be cat-like. They have the easiest jobs in the world: eat, sleep, and, yes, kill.

I Told You I Didn't Feel Well

I have heard many cat owners talk about funny cat pictures, but this had to be the most hilarious of all the dog pics ever taken.

Some random thoughts:

Speaking of funny pet photos, if you haven't seen "The World's Ugliest Dog," you have to see Elwood. He won the contest again. Of all funny looking dogs, he is the best.


This site is dedicated to funny pets. That means it is open to pet jokes, cat humor, (or cats humor for those of you with several), and of course that includes funny cat pics.

Before I go any further, funny cat photos are harder to come by. However, I do have a gem or two I'll be uploading soon.

Back to my purpose for the blog. We will be offering some cat stories, funny pet names, and dog fun soon as well. Don't you love how I am all over the place with my random thoughts? That is why it is random.

I never used to be a cat person, but once I got my first two, I realized they are funny cats, very funny cats. So I grabbed the camera and took, you guessed it, some funny cats pictures.

Not to neglect my personal favorite animal, dogs. How about if I say funny cats and dogs. Because they are both so amusing. But as I said funny pictures of cats are rare. If you have one that you'd like me to post, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll stop "randoming" my thoughts. Enjoy the pet humor.

You Know You Are a Dog Person When...

All dates must pass your dog's inspection.

All of your clothes have dog hair on them, even when they come back from the laundromat or dry cleaners.

You get birthday cards for each of your dogs from family, friends, and the vet. Every gift you ever get has something to do with dogs.

Kiss your dog more than 10 times per greeting.

All your non-dog friends know to dress down when visiting your house

Books and movies are ruined for you if the dog references are incorrect.

Onlookers grimace at the sight of you sharing your sandwich with your four-legged pal, bite for bite.

Call long distance and talk with your dog.

Dog hair in food is just another spice.

If you are cold, you put a sweater on your dog.

A picture you will remember forever.

When the dog comes back in you realize he has been rolling in the dead bird/squirrel you thought you carefully buried that morning.

At least three of your five weeks vacation are scheduled around grooming,vaccinations and dental cleaning...all for the dogs!

All I Need To Know I Learned From My Dog

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Thrive on affection and let people touch you - enjoy back rubs and pats on your neck. When you leave your yard, make it an adventure. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout - run right back and make friends.

Bond with your pack. On cold nights, curl up in front of a crackling fire. When you're excited, speak up. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
