Cat V Dogs III: Presumably, the end
I wasn't going to do another post on Cats v Dogs, but today I had some odd experiences with the animals around here.
I bought my cats some collars, since Clarence keeps trying to get outside (and succeeding) and Pentelope will follow her anywhere. Of course, niether cat wanted to wear them, and fought me. Pentelope made a pretty juicy scratch on my right foot. End result, they are still trying to get them off.
The dog, OTOH, walks around jingling her collar in your face. When you take her outside, she stands there calmly wiating for you to clip the leash on her. And even if you stick your hand in her mouth or take food away as she eats it, the dog will not bite or scratch.
Yet, if H and I are play wrestling the dog will bark at us like crazy, and try to break us up. It's actually pretty funny. And if the dog wants us to feel bad about something, she hangs her head all sadly and stares at us with that devastated look.
The cats cannot be bothered, and have punished me for daring to put collars on them by peeing on out bed. They haven't done that in months...so I guess they're pretty pissed...hey, that's punny!
The end result is that if my cats ever do get out and I can't find them, I can look for the flashing red hearts on the collars. And if anyone else finds my cats, they can look in the metal tube also on the collars and pull out a paper with my name and address. Keen, no?

Cats are annoying, like women.
Cats are evil, like women.
Cats are psycho, like women.
All of these would've worked fine.

Also, it is strange how jealous animals can get. I know our cats, when jealous that we're paying too much attention to the dog, or the baby, or even to eachother will try extra hard to get our attention by rubbing on our legs, or getting in our faces, but my mom's dog, who is a very jealous beastie, will actually force her body between us and whatever is the object of our attention. Then she will push us apart with her head. She is most jealous when my dad is the person showing affection to someone/thing else. If she sees him petting the cats she will growl at the feline until it leaves, and then force her head under my dad's hand. It's quite funny.

Nolan gets pretty jelous when Ryan is paying attention to the cats, but she's more laid back about it.
