In another blog today, we were discussing the funny things that our pets do, but I wanted to move it to a blog where we could all add to it.
My old cat, Nico, was a total weirdo. He greeted me at the door like a dog every time I came home. He used to love it whenever I put astringent on my face and would try to lick it off.
The funniest thing he did, though, was watch me in the shower. He used to jump onto the sink and then onto the wall which separated the shower from the sink. It was about 8 feet tall but didn't go all the way to the ceiling. So he'd sit up there and watch me shower. Creepy, no? He also used to always try to jump on my lap when I was on the terlet but I never let him.
He doesn't live with me anymore because after I moved out of my roommate's place and got my own place, Nico started peeing in my bed every night WHILE I WAS IN IT. So, my roommate took him and Nico's been very happy there. I miss him, though.
His favorite game was "let's knock shizz off the coffee table." Nail scissors? A pencil? The remote control? The coasters? That shizz is going DOWN.
And now I have the famous Basil. I mentioned in an earlier blog how he comforts me when I'm sad, and how he won't let me and the boyfriend cuddle without him being involved. But wait, there's more.
He picks up his toys in his mouth, then throws them using his head, then pounces on them like a kitty cat. He intentionally loses his Kong or his tennis ball under the sofa, then gets mad and yowls until we get it out. Then we toss it across the room, he brings it back to the sofa, and pushes it underneath again!
Whenever we come home and let him out of his crate, he runs out, jumps on us for a split second, then goes back into his crate, grabs his blanky in his mouth, and then runs around the house dragging his stinky blanky all over.
Whenever the boyfriend and I are watching TV, I sprawl out on the sofa and the BF is on the loveseat. But as soon as the BF gets up to get a drink or go to the bathroom, Basil takes his spot. I guess he likes my boyfriend's warm ass dent on the cushion. I swear to God, he does this EVERY TIME!
He chases the hell out of his tail and gets PISSED at it when he can't catch it. His bark is still very high-pitched and puppylike, but loud as hell. It's hilarious (except when it gets annoying).
When he sees us, he gets so excited and wags his tail so hard that his whole butt moves. We call him Wiggle-Butt.
And sometimes he sprawls out with his legs behind him, and then we call him Froggy-Butt. Here is Baz with Froggy Butt:
I guess that's all I can remember for now. What are the funny, weird, and quirky stuff that YOUR pet does?
Diesel
Prada
Tom Tailor
They're are too cute.
1Awww such cute stories whip! Sounds like your pets are obsessive with you
Especially the kitty checking you out in the shower. 
2Basil's so sweet though! He let's your BF know who's REALLY the boss
I love that picture of Nico. He looks so cute, just a head with two little feet! I miss him.
3Do you still get to see Nico, or does your friend live far away?
4He lives close, but we're not really friends. I only lived with him for a year, to save money, but it was the worst year of my life. He was obnoxious, filthy, and a horrible roommate. But he loved Nico and Nico loved him, so I'm glad he took him in. But I haven't seen him because I feel pretty uncomfortable around the old roomie.
Which is why you should never find a roommate on Craigslist, btw.

Wow! My SIL found her x-roommate on craigslist too, emphasis on X!
6Ohhh. This is a good one, I'll post when I get home
My meow is CRAZY!
7I just remembered another one - Baz HAS to lick the water off our legs when we get out of the shower.
8Awww hahaha so cute! Good blog idea!
9What do your pets do, Karma? I'm sure you've got some good stories!
10I love this idea too!!! Maddie does the cutest snarly thing with her teeth. I need to get on taking a pic. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pic of Baz
:love:
11What kind of dog is Maddie, JV?
12I think she is pit bull/german shepard/boxer....aka mutt.
13Omg tootles! A pitbull german boxer mix and she does a 'cute' snarly thing with her teeth!?!?!?!?!?!?!? BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
14Oh, Lordy, where do I start????????????
Ginger actually speaks to us (we think). It is the strangest dog noise I've ever heard. We always try to get her to say I love you... I have been trying to record her, so I'm sure I'll post it one day. She also bites playfully at all the dogs. We say she is the grumpy old lady.
Dakota loves to get in the hot clean laundry. When he hears the dryer open he comes running. We then put him in the middle of it, and he will stay there for hours. He also sleeps under our shirts (like I mentioned on his blog). He will scratch and scratch at our stomachs until we let him "in". He and my hub have a routine... every day when he gets home from work, they go into the bedroom and my hub gets down on the floor to play w/ him and Cody throws his butt in his face and my hub bites at it... not sure how that started
Pearl cockroaches (known to be a big Greyhound thing) on her back with her legs up in the air... I'll have to get a picture of that.
Simon has had a lot of his teeth pulled and if anything gets near his mouth he makes the funniest face... like he just bit into a lemon. He also has the nastiest breath out of all of them! He howls at the smallest noise, and has the most comical voice... raspy like an old man. I just had another idea- I will have to record and then post ALL of them howling. Oh, and Simon insists on being under a blanket the majority of the day. We used to not be able to find him, but have learned he is usually under our sheets in the bed completely flattened out.
Jaxon has no teeth at all so his tongue hangs out the side of his mouth. He is the one we think has brain damage, so he isn't very... hmm... how do I say... he doesn't have normal behaviors. He has finally started playing a bit, and he is so cute when he is playing and after b/c his hair gets all frazzled... we call him Mr. rag-a-muffin.
Phoebe is a spaz and so damn funny. She runs around the house like a mad woman. I'm talking she lays her ears back and does mad sprints from room to room about 11:00 every night.
Asia is the cutest when she's excited. She paws up at the air and makes sweet little noises. She also plays wildly with her crazy sister, Phoebe.
OK... there is so much more, but it would take WAY too long.
15BTW- my bff in HS had a cat named Nico, and my mom's dog Honey loves to lick the water off legs, too!!! funny!
16Awwwwww they are freaking cute!
17Basil sounds like a trip!
@ wiggle butt*
18Aw, jiggy, I love your stories! You need to record them doing all this stuff and then post the videos.
19Oh, and when I took Baz out this morning, I thought of another one...
When we first got him, he was so tiny and SO CUTE that he got a ton of attention on the street. I couldn't walk him anywhere without people stopping us to pet him. And he got totally used to it.
Now, he's almost a year old, but he's very small for his age and breed so he still looks like a puppy. He still gets a lot of attention but not nearly as much. So, when we're walking down the street, if someone doesn't stop and say "Awwww!" then he tries to make them. He jumps up on people, tries to lick their faces, etc. It's like he INSISTS that they tell him how cute and friendly he is. He's an attention wh*re.
20ha ha!! Baz is a wh*re!!!!!!!!
21Aww, Nico sounds like a fun kitty. Your Basil stories are hilarious, he sounds like he has a ton of personality! My dog lays the same way with his back legs all awkwardly spread out behind him, it looks uncomfortable but he seems to like it
. jgasia, your sure have your
hands full with all of those doggie personalities in the house! Sounds like fun!
22awww your babies are so cute! My cat used to love to sleep with me, but if I moved during my sleep she would sink her claws on my legs ouchh!
She was so cute though, if I went to the bathroom and closed the door she would start meowing
and scratching the door until I opened it. aaaahhhh pets are the sweetest things!

23Oh I love beagles! They have such adorable faces!!
24Mme! Where've you been?
25My pooch sleeps under the covers- and she has a very specific routine about it.
She comes up to the very top of the bed nuzzles her nose under the covers near my shoulder and stands there like that until i lift them enough for her to get under, walks all the way down to my feet, gives them a little lick, then walks back up the other side of me until just her head sticks out, and then lies down and sleeps there all night, right next to me. She does this every single night!!
She also snores real loud, sticks her tongue out and leaves it there a lot (especially when she sleeps), and sucks on stuffed toys (it's like nursing, it's super weird).
Despite all her weirdness, she's the love of my life.
oh, and she wiggles her whole butt too!
Her pic is in my profile.
26whip- I totally forgot THE funniest thing any of mine does...
Probably 80% of the time when Ginger pees, she lifts her back legs up above her head and starts walking on her front legs and then pees. It is quite humorous
27bellacalla- your dog is funny... I looked at the pic and her tongue is crazy!
