What Can Your Dog/cat Do?

[islasmum]

We have just come in from shopping, Isla (belgian shepherd dog) has managed to take off the candlewick bedspread we keep on the sofa - UNDER another cover which is tied down to the sofa, without untying any of the top covers! How (and why?) she has managed to do this I do not know! Her nose is a bit out of joint, as she is missing a cat that actually belonged to some neighbours, but popped in to see us every day. The neighbours appear to have moved on, so presumably have taken the cat too. He and Isla got on very well, played together, and would sleep on the sofa together sometimes. We will miss him. But I've obviously got to find something to occupy her mind a bit more.

Isla, watch out, the cat may well return to his friend

I don't know where they have moved to, psybbo, but if there's a house near with a bit of food and a sunny patch to sleep in, he'd be happy. They had 3 children who were quite noisy and I think he came to us for a bit of peace
Thanks for all the answers, we do have some animals between us, don't we.

We had a Budgie that could swim , the Goldfish was not very impressed though.

My pusscat (Bea) used to pat the bells hanging from my bedroom door to get me to let her out in the morning. Lost her in 2007 :-(

My cat often goes on the paper round with my son.

my cats can do absolutely nothing for hours at a time but they do it with such calm and grace it is actually interesting to watch.

Max had very loud bark which ranged from a real scary bark as if to say "what the flump are you doing on my street" for strangers to a very gentle woof to say "you can stop and make a fuss of me if you like".

I don't have a dog or a cat, but next door's cats (three of them) can crap all over my garden.

Does that count?

[islasmum]

The saying that "we own dogs, but cats have slaves" seems to be very true.
sorry, doesn't count Andy - do you throw it back over into next doors' garden?

[andy-hughes]

No, we like our neighbours a lot, so I just dispose of it and say nothing.
