New file, dogs/cats, how to frustrate your human

[brewer]

Stand 15 feet away from them and stare. When the human comes walk into the bed room and lay down. Do this every time you can't see them from the bedroom.

My dogs have mastered the 'let us out so we can come back in' game.

But there's a twist...Ziggy has to be invited into the house muliple times as his return must be on his terms. Those terms are usually when I have gone back to doing what I was doing before the start of the game.

The trick my dogs enjoy is standing right in front of me in a dark room so that I'm certain to trip over them, sending all of us flailing to the ground.  There are three of them, and I swear that they collaborate on how to get the right angles on their position to cause maximum carnage to me and minimum to them.

When the human puts down food, walk up to the bowl, look down at the food, then look up at the human with a quizzical expression.

The cat decides after I have stocked up on a canned food that he seems to like that it suddenly causes barfing. Changing to a different formula works well right up until I have a decent supply of it and it suddenly becomes barf-inducing.

Consistently and happily eat the same food for years on end, then treat today's serving of the same food as if the human has suddenly offered you a plate of fried nails with a side order of disrespect.

You should take you cat to the vet's for an exam as soon as possible. Two of my kitties exhibited this behavior and in both cases they had cancer. I had to have both of them put down.

This has been his MO for years.  Dry food never makes him barf and the only reason I give him wet food is to help with his dry skin...trying to get some oils into his system.  Thank you though for the concern.

The latest one is that the girl will not go out and pee/poop in the backyard unless you come with her. This may be a July 4th thing.

Eggs, if they will eat them.
