I’ll start. My girlfriend’s cat never purrs or does the “baking biscuits” thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.
My one dog is very special. She likes to sleep with her head under the couch. She was not pleased when we got a new couch that her head wouldn’t fit under. She sometimes runs into walls and falls off of sidewalks.
My other dog is entirely disinterested in toys. She does not play with them, ever.
When fighting her brother, Cerys got him in a headlock with her back legs then reared up and went to fucking town with her forepaws on his head like it was bongos.
Our dog does a front leg “handstand” to pee. I assume she peed on her hind legs once and decided keeping feet of the ground is a better plan.
So - both hind legs are in the air, am I reading this correctly? Would love to see that lol
I have seen this. It was a teacup poodle.
Yes, back end floating. Will try to get a video one day
I have a cat that plays fetch.
It sounds cute, and it is - until he’s bringing you q-tips he dug out of the trash to play with.
My cat used to do this too! Now she doesn’t bring stuff back lol.
I had a cat who loved doing that with a ball of paper. It was basically the only toy she cared for. I bought her so much stuff but it was all not interesting.
We got some of those trash cans that have to foot operated lid and a pretty heavy spring on the lid, they’ve been super helpful keeping our dogs out of the bathroom trash.
All three of ours play fetch, but only with specific objects. They’re all brothers about 2½ years old.
The tabby cat plays fetch with fluffy toy balls with feathers on them, the grey cat plays fetch with spare cat collars and the little black cat plays fetch with menthol sweet wrappers.
My cat and I would play catch when he was younger. Then he discovered the outdoors and that was the end of that. He’s content to just come in for a lap sit in the evenings these days.
One of mine does that too. He only likes sparkle balls or rattle mice tho, so no risk of gross items from the garbage fortunately.
We have a wood floor and his favorite thing is to have me throw it in that room so he can slide halfway across it while fetching the toy.
He has definitely slid into the wall a time or two.
Our tabby also loves to fetch and he prefers the rattle mice too
Every time my cat sneaks to our bedroom trash and grabs a q-tip, he SPRINTS out the room and we both yell “CONTRABAND!!!”
Our cats also play fetch as well! We have these shitty bouncy foam balls we dub “regular ball” that they’ll often bring into the room to have us throw them. We have to keep a bag of treats handy at all times.
my cat loves sitting on pillows and even more so on the sheets if the sheets are open. hes hairy and sheds so i dont let him on there but he is quite persistent.
my cat poops before she eats. most cats poop after they eat.
My grandfather’s cat used to play goalie. She would guard some area, like a doorway and expect us to tty to toss a ball or something through. She’d then catch it and return the ball to us for more.
My boxer mix gets her wires crossed sometimes and quietly growls at me when she’s excited, like when she can tell by my change of clothes that we’re about to go for a walk. Sometimes it startles strangers but it’s hard to be scared when her tail is wagging. The best part is when the vibration of her own growl tickles her throat and sinuses enough that she makes herself sneeze.
Dogs sneeze as a way of communicating that they’re playing and not a threat. She’s probably letting you know she’s just playing!
That’s adorable. TIL, thanks.
If I scritch my cat just right on a certain spot on her back, she’ll immediately fall over onto her side to accept my offering of more back scritches. It works nearly every time.
My partner gets jealous because the cat refuses to fall over whenever he tries it.
My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.
My partner’s Chihuahua hates gettint wet, but he has no problem yellowing his front leg when he pees. Also when he takes a shit, he moves on of his feet up and down slowly, like he is pumping the shit out.
He does not ever want you to stop petting him. When you take a break, he pushes his head into your hand or paws at it, much like a cat would do.
When my little terrier/chihuahua mix was a puppy she would give me a “hug” first thing In the morning. I’d sit up in bed and say “time to go to work” and she would put her front paws around my neck and press her face against mine. She eventually would do it on command. Then she had surgery to correct a luxating patella (knee cap pops out of place) and never did it again.
She also used to drag herself across the carpet with her front legs, back legs dragging behind her. We would call it “swimming”.
Being part terrier she is very smart but also stubborn. When our senior dog passed, I taught her lots of tricks. One trick was to ring a bell when she wanted to go outside. I rigged up a donut shapped toy she could paw that was attached to a spring with a bell on it. She refused to ring it. I know she knew what to do, she just refused. When she wanted a treat she would paw the cabinet just like I taught her to paw the bell/toy. Eventually I gave up. Fast forward to a year later. We get another puppy and as soon as I try to teach new dog how to ring the bell she runs over and slams it. From that point on she slams the bell ten times a day.

My inlaws’ cat makes makes it as difficult as possible to pet her when she likes it a lot. Doesn’t sit still, if I pet her chin she twists her head away to show me the top of her head instead, keeps walking back and forth, and even lays belly up sometimes (and she does not like her belly touched at all).
I know she’s liking it because she purrs like crazy, does not move away, if I stop looks at me until I start again. If in her walking back and forth I don’t chase her and leave my hand out she moves into it for more pets.
I’ve developed some techniques to pet her two handed where she sits still for some reason. Like chin scritches with one hand coming from each side, she loves it.
Both of my cats will never, I mean never, sit on my lap.
One likes to jump from side to side over me when I’m sleeping. She also lets me lay my head on her like a pillow.
One will play fetch like a dog. She will only eat her treats if I throw them.
They both know what push means when I tell them to open the door.
They both love drawers.
