Pet Picspam!!!

I am a bad pet owner and haven't ever posted pictures of our new doggie and haven't posted about the kitties since we got them. *lashes self with wet noodle*

We got the kitties in January 2010 from a rescue group, a month or so after losing poor Fuzzbutt. We immediately dismissed the names they came with (Mr. Brown and Gerry *yuck*)

First we have Kato aka Señor Psychopants aka Krazycakes aka Crazy!cat


He looks so innocent there, doesn't he? To some extent that innocence is due to the fact he is dumb. Truly, massively stupid. For example, he doesn't understand doors. He'll roll around in front of them hoping it'll magically open. If that doesn't work he prays to the door gods, scratches at the ground, headbutts the wall, and lastly, tries to slip underneath the door. Oddly, none of these tactics ever work.

Another thing he doesn't understand is gravity. He loves sleeping on the radiator- it's warm, there's a comfy towel and sometimes a sunbeam and he can watch the squirrels and birds in the tree and on the lawn (he'd catch all of them too, if it wasn't for the window). However, the radiator is narrow and he likes to do these elaborate yawning stretches... Guess what happened 5 seconds after this picture was taken? Yep, he fell on the floor.



He is a master at playing with yarn though. Look at how he cowers it into submission!



He is also a fan of stealing the other cat's toys from her and hiding them. He loves to wear his preventer pants. It is a good thing he is so cute.



Next we have Dusty aka Shy!cat aka Stompasaurus aka Elephunk aka Señorita Stinkypants



Even after a year she's still massive shy around people and likes to hide a lot. Most of the time she's quite good at camouflage. Can you spot the kitty?



However, sometimes she forgets, especially if she is deeply asleep.



She does not walk, she stomps. Loudly. Shockingly loudly. Whoever said cats are sneaky never met this one. Although she might be plotting world domination, you never know...



And, once in a great, great while, the cats do get along.



Last October, for my daughter's 15th birthday, we got her a dog from the humane society.

This is Molly Roo



She is an adorable Jack Russel/Rat Terrier mix rescued from a puppy mill. She is also horribly dumb. As in the unclear on the concept of solid objects and crashes into everything dumb. She's a good girl though, quiet (almost NEVER barks) and very very shy.

She loves taking walks. Stopping during the walk to have her picture taken was not appreciated.



And... that's it. Hope you liked the petspam!

LOL, your pets seem to have a lot of problems with solid objects. Reminds me of one of my brother's old cats. He frequently tried to run through walls.

They are all quite adorable!

Kato seems to take the whole idea that two objects can't occupy the same space as more of an advisement than an absolute.

He just may prove science and common sense wrong about that. One of these days.

Or at least get a concussion trying....

Mine too, but he lives in hope.

At least there's probably not a whole lot more damage he can do to his brain.

bwhahaha, good point.

Today he got lost in the bathtub. He's a special one.

You didn't have to listen to his sad, pathetic "Mrrow?" over and over until I finally took pity and scooped him out of there

Man, my cats only ever went near the bathtub when forced.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, he won't go anywhere near it if there's water in it!

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
But it's magically OK and maze-like when dry?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He keeps trying to dig a hole in the bottom, so maybe he thinks there's gold under it or something?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
OR maybe he just likes the way his mmmrowwws echo in there

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
He's simple minded that way
