Played a dirty trick on my cat

Last night I took a long piece of packing tape and laid it on the floor sticky side up. My cat loves chasing a laser pointer. So I ran him around for a couple minutes then put the laser dot on the packing tape. And he pounced it! He then stands up on his back paws walking backwards flailing his front paws trying to get the tape off. He then tried jumping away from the tape all the while sticking it better when he landed. He finally manages to get 1 paw free and tries to make a run for it. But when he does his opposite back paw gets stuck on the tape and trips him up rolling him into a little ball covered in tape. He finally looks around unable to move and gives this pathetic little "mrroeww". At which point I stopped laughing enough to come over and untangle him.


So how about it ATOT? What amusing laughs have you had at your pets' expense??

Yes I have. And no he didn't lose any hair he wouldn't have lost when I brushed him.

That's great. One time I took a laser pointer and pointed it at a puddle of kerosene I put down in my driveway. My cat pounced on it just about the time the laser caught the kerosene on fire! It was so hilarious. I wish I had thought to video tape it.

P.S. -I don't have a cat and Dogz rule!

Try putting masking tape (not as sticky as packing or duct) on the top of your cat's paws. Mine would pick up one foot to try to get the tape off, then get bothered by another one and would try to fix that one. End result was he kept changing every 4 seconds and trying to shake it off when he walked. Pretty hillarous.

Try putting a sock over your cat's head, that's hillarious.

In my college days I lived with a blind room mate. One night while drinking, he asked "if you tossed a cat at the wall, would it land on its feet on the wall?" So he picked up the cat and was going to gently toss it about 5 feet to the wall so we could tell him what the cat did. However, being blind, my room mate was unaware that he was actually 1 foot from the wall and proceeded to smash the cat headfirst into the wall like a battering ram. The cat fell to the ground and made a bee line for the couch and hid under there for the rest of the night.

One time while I was laying on the couch about to light a cigarette, the cat jumped onto my chest. I patted his head and then proceeded to light my smoke. At that very moment he tried to lean in to smell the cigarette and his whiskers lit on fire. He leaped off me with his head aflame. Luckily I caught him in midair and patted out the fire. But all the whiskers on the left side of his face were burnt off. The funniest thing was after that happened, he would still try to jump onto our garbage can in the kitchen and walk around the edge but without his whiskers he would lose his balance and fall in.

The power went out at my house a month or so ago, so we had put a bunch of candles out. One of our cats has lots of hair (it looks like he has a mane, seriously) and a really bushy tail. He's also a complete idiot, so he went strolling across our coffee table and swished his tail right through a candle flame and caught it on fire.

Then we had to chase him down and put him out before he hurt himself or set the house on fire. Cats can run.

It might have just been easier to open the front door. When the cat runs out and gets run over, the car will likely snuff out the flames along with all nine miserable lives.

Problem averted, curtains in tact.

MyMinature Pinscher eats anything he can get into his mouth (this breed apparently has a voracious appetite). He eats spiders. at first he gums them, keeping them alive in his mouth, and they usually bite him during this process. He'll whimper a little bit but happily keeps on munching. He has yet to meet a spider he doesn't like.

The best is if he hears a knock on the door, especially if he's passed out on the couch. He immediately bolts upright and spazzes (sp?) out. So every now and then, when he's in deep REM sleep I'll knock as hard as I can on the wall near him. He literally comes up off the couch, all four in the air, landing in attack mode.

He also hates wind. If we're driving down the road with the windows down he'll hang his head out the side and "chew" on the wind the entire time if I let him. so one day I opened the sunroof and held the top half of him out while we went about 20mph. He wwent bonkers.

Also, EVERY single night when we get home for the evening, as soon as he walks through the front door he goes into this....what I can only describe as a dog on speed, meth, angeldust and PCP all at once. He will run loops and patterns around furniture and between coffee tables and then up the stairs. He runs so fast it just looks like a little black blur. It's the kind of running where a dog hits speeds so fast that their hind legs surpass their front legs and they're in this "hunched" position the whole time in "run mode". You can't even really see his little legs they move so fast.

If we sit on the couch while he does this he'll divert his path and run by us once in awhile, so occasionally I'll stick my foot out in front of him. He has no time to slow down and the resulting trip causes him to roll at least four times into a nearby wall. He gets up, shakes it off, and does it all over again. and before you blast me for it, just know he loves it, because he always comes back for more.

The MEANEST thing I think we did to him, and I won't do it again, was put a sock on his head one evening after coming home. I did it because he kept going in the laundary room and getting it out of the basket to chew on when he had plenty of other toys. Needless to say his "spazz mode" and a sock on his head was not a good combination for him. He hit everything possible at full force. I took it off after 30 seconds or so. I felt bad about it, but it seemed to teach him a valuable lesson.....he's not chewed on a sock since then ;).

You are saving the cat is stupid?

If you own pets candles are pretty much a no-no.

Get an LED Lantern. Over a month of life on one set of batteries.

LOL!! I thought I was the only one with a MinPin that was a nut case. Mine does the same sh|t you described and he loves to eat. He has been neutered but he still tries to mount my Black Labs when he gets excited!! I always thought my MinPin just had mental problems but it sound like its in the breed. :)

Oh, he'll hump any lady dog he can get his little paws on. These are truly the "man whores" of dogs.
