I got this in my email the other day and couldn't hold it any longer...just too funny for pet owners! You could exchange the "face licking" for attitude when thinking of getting a cat hahaha! ...and shredded curtains for chewed furniture.

HEhehehe.. that's about right..

but they forgot something..

Every day, leave one dog treat, a frisbee and a slobbery tennis ball in your vehicle, and spread dog hair over the passenger seat.

According to what I find whenever I clean my truck out, dog treats and tennis balls multiply like rabbits!

And I dare not open the windows while on the highway for fear of creating a dog hair tornado inside my truck.

Hay Adrienne,

The (4) cats I have like to do no. 18 when they don't get to eat the "no hairball" version of catfood. (Longhaired variety) Tryin to catch them all to put butter on their nose was a pain in the butt. They eat my plants, and play with straws, until they knock the drinks over, and used to chew the wires on the nintendo setup. A monthly run to radio shack got old...hehehe!

I'm not one who loves the smell of damp cat litter in the morning!

But I do love to sit or lay down somewhere and get covered in purring heaven! There's not a place in house you can sit without one or more jumping up to be loved on!

This is a true story that happened yesterday. I rented a room in my house out to a friend, he moved in a couple of days ago. I've lived here with my cat, Shadow for about four years. Shadow never poops in the house. As soon as Mark got his room all situated Shadow went in and left a big present right in the middle of his bedroom floor. Cats have a way of letting you know their feelings.

Did I ever tell yawl how I dust under furniture here? I turn the dog loose in the house...four feather dusters set on turbo deluxe!

I dust the baseboards by using a lazer pointer...they just paw after it till they get the job done! Don't underestimate the power of a remote control for the kitties hahahah!

To tell the weather, go to your back door and look
for the dog.

If the dog is at the door and he is wet, it's probably
raining. But if the dog is standing there really soaking
wet, it is probably raining really hard.

If the dog's fur looks like it's been rubbed the wrong
way, it's probably windy.

If the dog has snow on his back, it's probably snowing.

Of course, to be able to tell the weather like this, you
have to leave the dog outside all the time, especially
if you expect bad weather.

Sincerely,
The CAT

Chuck- grab a bottle of "Nature's Miracle" at the local PetSmart (or large pet store) and scrub the area where the fur ball left the "present"... if you don't- kitty will think it has a "right" to mark that spot over and over and over again. They smell their own sent that's left over even after scrubbing it. Rubbing their little faces in it and beating them with a newspaper won't cure this potty faux paws. It will make YOU feel better for a while, but their sent tells them where their business is "to be done" and no newspaper will cure that.

I love my cats, but I do love cat jokes.

If the kitty doesn't get the hint... give her a bath! Drop her in the toilet, shut the lid and flush three times.... then run like hell!

P.S. Got a black light? If you want to know where kitty has been tinkling on the carpet- turn off all the lights in the room and shine the black light on the carpet. This could lead to a real "outdoor" experience for the kitty, so make sure her shots are updated!
