My cat, Mr. Spuds, apparently had a nightmare. He was all curled up when he just started twitching everywhere. Then he started growling and chirping for about 15 minutes. He finally started to yowl and woke himself up... quickly turned it into a yawn.

I couldn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.

A pet can often be a laugh a minute.

i think if my cat did that i would wake him up instead of laughing at him. but thats me...sounds like an interesting cat you have there. the past two days my cat has been meowing and whining like a little bitch - must be the cold weather.

my dog does that almost every time she really falls asleep (like, not just a nap). She whimpers and her feet twitch like she's running. Then she wakes up and sighs really heavily.

Excellent.


While we're on the subject of pets making you laugh, here's one about my cats.

I'm lying on the bed, flat on my back and outside the covers. Ted's lying on top of me, lengthways. We're chillin'.

Bill (an "overly bonded" cat if ever there was one), lying on the bed by the side of me, decides that he's kinda jealous that Ted has the best position - so bites (very tiny little nip) Ted on his side.

Ted looks at Bill, extends his arm (foreleg? whatever) towards Bill's face very slowly (almost bullet time slow) whilst simultaneously opening his paw and extending his claws. Ted's paw stops about 3 mm from Bill's face and Ted proceeds to wag his paw, claws extended, under Bill's nose slowly. For a while. If cats could talk it would have been a "see this? keep on and you'll get some".

Mr. Spuds is orange and brown with white striped and shaped like a potato.

The funniest cat I had was Fubar. She liked to hide under the couch and attack peoples' feet when they sat down. Night or day, she was under there at the right moment to kill someone. Since the stairs were carpeted on top and bottom, she'd also climb up the stairs upside down, crawl through the top, run down the stairs, then repeat.

Sadly, after we moved to a new place my parent's "house sitter's" dog chased her off and we couldn't find her.

I really dislike dogs, especially the kind you're NOT suppose to have when my parents are gracious enough to let you live there while you get back on your feet.

My parents previous dog used to make lots of noise while it slept. It would growl and twitch. Once it had such an intense dream that it woke up. What a dog she was.

Best thing my idiot cat has done in a while:
Had a 36" tv on a stand wedged into the corner of my front room, and next to the the tv was a full height (6' ish) lawyer bookcase. My cat (being a cat) found it necessary to jump from chair up to tv top up to top of lawyer bookcase, for the prime sleeping area. Successfully accomplished this many times. Remember, 36" tv wedged in corner,on a stand.
One afternoon my wife hears the cat yowling pathetically. Starts looking for him. Narrows it down to front room. After more investigation, narrows it down to behind tv. Idiot cat had jumped down from the lawyer bookcase, and either misjudged or just slipped, and ended up crammed behing the tv with no escape. Took my wife some time to get enough stuff moved and disassembled so she could get the cat out. I was very upset that I was at work and missed the cat's moment of brilliance.
Oh, and of course, next day the cat was on top of the lawyer bookcase again. Ended up rearranging the furniture to prevent a repeat.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

previous house i stayed in had a, temporary, bannister that was really tightly wound rope. our cat used said rope as a scratching post and if anyone walked up stairs the cat would run and jump onto the bannister and then race them up the stairs.

the drop off the bannister was a one story drop on the one side since the 2nd floor area was open looking down to the 1st floor.

the cat used to hang upside down on the bottom of the bannister. it was crazy. the first time i saw it running *around* the bannister i freaked out. i thought it was about to jump off, but it hung out and just hung upside down.

then one day my dad is sitting in his room at his desk and the cat is sitting at his open window (2nd story) getting some sun. my dad hears some noise and then a few minutes later the cat comes walking into the room through the door. it fell out the window.

that cat is invincible.
