Never a dull moment

I hadn't put the grocery bags away after shopping and Archie decided to attack one. He got a claw hung in it, so he was running like a maniac through the house with this loud white thing following him. He ran through a cluster of sleeping cats while trying to escape and they all panicked and burst into motion in several different directions, scaring a couple more cats into flight. For about 30 seconds all three rooms of the house were nothing but hissing, spitting and whirling cats! Gary caught him behind a chair and removed the bag, but all the cats are jumpy still. Teach me to be lazy!

Way too funny! I remember the first time we saw our dog Patch. My mom was thinking of adopting him, his owner had died leaving the widow with three dogs that were slowly starving out of grief. She put them up for adoption through CAP. My mom wanted the Lhasa, and when the lady brought him to our house to see if he would be ok, it was almost funny. We had about 30 cats at the time. (My mom was a major collector, couldn't say no to any animal. Unfortunately, that meant lots of kittens that eventually we ran out of neighbors and friends that would take one. But they were all well fed, loved and had a place to get out of the weather.) Anyway, the lady comes in with Patch, sits down and when the dog came out from under her chair to explore...... cats went everywhere! Up the curtains, across the couch, under and over tables, etc. The look on the lady's face was priceless! I've always been amazed that she actually let us keep him, but we had him for nearly 14 years, and he died a happy old man in his bed.

I can just visualize the scenario and I am LOL! Crazy cats!:D

I can imagine it, poor dog, he must've thought he'd died and gone to hell! Archie is still sulking, he seems to hold me responsible for letting that aggresive bag in the house, cause he just wet my bed, which he only does when he is realy angry at me, like after he's been to the vet. And some people say animals don't have emotions? Whatever.

funny scenario that was certainly interesting

Mog did that once. He was playing in the bag when something spooked him and he set off. But as he went his head went thru the handle, so he was dragging it behind him, which spooked him even more, so he ran faster, and then he stood on it and skidded into the kitchen cupboards :D

we have a bud light box that has been in the kitchen for god knows how long. and usually consuela is the one inside. and zeke will see her run in there and shove his paws through the cracks and bat at her. anyways....hera (the oldest) ran into it one day and just had the front half of her and was pushing off the carpet with her back feet running around the house with a box on her head. it was hilarious. makes me wish i had a few hundred dollars for a camcorder.

They're better than the comedy channel when they get wound up! Our littlest has decided to make Archie his "male role model", and follows him around imitating him. It's funny when Arch quits walking, cause Two Stars is so little he winds up right up under his belly before he stops. Looks like an 8 legged cat!

Too funny!

We have 2 rats that love to get into mischief. Somehow they have been getting out of their cage alot lately during the wee hours of the night. Nothing like the sound of rat feet running across your pillow to give your heart a little jumpstart:eek:

The best was when I woke up to a rat that was staring right at me as if to say "Are you up yet? I want attention." :p

We once moved into an awful apartment that came furnished with at least 5 wild rats. The first morning we woke up there one was sitting on the arm of the couch right beside Gary watching him drink his coffee! There were a few more running along the waist high molding that ran all around the place, and I realized thats what I'd been hearing by my head during the night. They were so tame I almost felt guilty when I brought the cat home.
