OT: Things we do to our pets

[Atrocities]

I have three cats to whom I care about deeply. However at times I find that I can garner a lot of enterianment from harrassing my beloved little fur balls of toy.

I cannot express to you how much fun a lazer pen in a semi darkened room filled with three cats can be. Or how the sound of the can opener often results in mad cat dash down the hall. The occations rapid opening of the door to the bedroom sometimes leads to a "BONK" as one or more of the cats, having been startled away, make for the cat door only to arrive at the same time. It gets really funny when the cat door is locked.

Have you ever used one of those aresol air freshener cans in close proximity to your cat? If not you should try it sometime. Most entertaining.

One of the single most annoying things I can do to my beloved rat eating varmit hunters is to place a can of open cat food on the other side of a closed door. The paw action from under the door is quite hilarious.

Last but not least, I allow my twin 9 year old nephews to "love" on the kitties. Oh my God, the laughter never stops.

From the cats point of view, the Cat door is one of the coolest things ever invented. I can wiggle the cat door and they will all star at it like some kind of golden surprise is about to come through it. (This because at one point a rackoon discovered the door much to his unpleasent suprise he found four cats, at the time I had four, waiting for him on the other side. Odd, I haven't seen that bandit since.

All in all cats are great fun. I still miss my Momma cat, she passed in Octover 2004, and I don't think I will ever forget her. As to the remaining three, well, they are loads of fun. Now does any one know what I am suppose to do with this dead rat?
