Dunno what the pets themselves would say, but I know what I always say about them:

Dogs have owners, cats have staff!

"Dogs have owners, cats have staff!"

Amen! I have a plaque with that saying sitting next to my computer. It's there to remind me -as I clean up yet another hairball- that he's not my pet...I am HIS pet!

If my cat could talk he'd ask me if the staff could please clean his litterbox in a more timely fashion.

He'd also say that he didn't realize his habit of sleeping in the middle of the staircase was a hazard.

Squeak,

"here ya go"
as he rolls over to expose his belly to you
"rub and scratch me right here"

my dear departed Sam...the cat that dies of old age at age 19...
"don't even think about coming over here unless you have a can of tuna in your hands"

Well, your dog, dd, would let you know in no uncertain terms that you are not only not the alpha dog in the house, but you are darn lucky she even lets you stay. And that your only reason for being allowed to share her living quarters is the dispensing of treats!

I think my loveable yet very fat 26 pound kitty would say either

"feed me"
or
"leave me alone I'm trying to sleep"

cause thats all he does.
all day.

Quote 4...and a half?

how does one own half a cat?


Teehee. Yeah, I suppose that does just scream for clarification, doesn't it?

Anyway, it's quite simple. I have four cats of my own, they stay with me all the time (well, at home with me, anyway!).

The 'half' cat is actually my aunt's cat, but she spends most of the year (a month or two every so often) down in Georgia visiting her boyfriend, so her cat stays with us for that time (which we figure to be at least half a year).

So, she's 'half' ours, and therefore our 'half' cat. :D

Oooh, aren't you clever! *grin*

Now, that would be too easy.

But i'll give you the half cat's name! Which would be Rowan, by the way. :D

Mine too. She just lays around all day. She probably weighs 30 pounds.

My other cat would say "Could you get away from the food so I can eat."

My poor cats. I have an automatic litter box and with the heat and humidity the litter isn't clumping right and the darn box gets stuck and doesn't work right, so I still end up scooping every night b/c they get all upset.

One of my cats - I'm not sure which one - would say "Hahaha, I puked on your bed so now you have to do laundry that you weren't planning on doing tonight."

Little bastard.

The bride's maids in my brother's wedding were given a commerative bottle of wine. I took mine home and put it on the counter between the kitchen and the living room. Unfortunately I placed it on top of my husband's tie. The tie was hanging over the edge of the counter. Sometime during the night, our cat Jose decided that the dangling tie would be fun to play with. So she dug her claws in and pulled. The bottle of wine fell off the counter and broke on the living room floor (white carpet!) Then Jose decided it would be much more fun to lick/suck the carpet clean. In the morning we had a very drunk cat. We rented a steam cleaner for the carpet. Jose was an indoor cat so we put her in the bathroom to make sure she didn't get outside while we were cleaning. Several hours later, after everything was as clean as we could get it, we opened the bathroom door. Jose was passed out in the sink! I have always wondered what was running through her mind that night and the next day...

While waking up with an incredible headache and tremendously thirsty, Jose was still mystified by the wild dreams of purple waterfalls onto white sandy beaches. Then, the sounds of loud monsters lapping up all the remains of the purple flowing water made her run to the sink for refuge......alas, the call from the sandman made the dream seem dreamy and all fade away......was it a dream? was it real? was it a dream? was it real? Will she ever know?
:)
p.s. I bet the idea of jumping up to grab that tie doesn't seem like such a good one anymore!

Ohmigawd! This is why I shouldn't be checking this at work. I am laughing so hard silently, I'm starting to tear up!

Many years, my roommate and I each had a cat (Linus & Lucy). They were major chowhounds.

I made the mistake of throwing down on the floor a bag with food before I took off overnight (my roommate was gone).

When I came back the next day, those two little stomachs covered with fur had 1) opened a university bag (the kind that is doublesided plastic with a drawstring at the top -- yep, that's right, they opened up a tight drawstring!), 2) pulled out a loaf of pumpkin bread, 3) unwrapped a huge piece of foil, 4) undid the seran, and 5) eaten the outside off of the loaf, on the carpet, of course, just 1 foot away from the linoleum.

How they got that drawstring open . . . well, I wish I could have seen a video!
