@Izzie,
Awww! When my cat rubs her head against me like that I call it hugs from her. So sweet!

@Izzie,
We've got two dogs two cats - the dynamic between each is bizarre.

The maine coon and the westie cross try and play together but don't know a game that translates to both cats and dogs. But the cat never users claws and and the dog never bites (hilarious to watch said dog wipe the 'cat germs' off it's ears though).

The labradoodle is terrified of the rag doll, though the terror is slowly waning to the point where he can stay perfectly still if the raggy comes up and sniffs him (as opposed to the previous behaviour of running for his life).

The maine coon tries to rub up against the labradoodle, Murphy style, but the doodle is wary of cats because of the raggie so the rub ends up being a tip over onto the floor.

The westie and the rag doll always fight, without spite. The ragdoll resents the westies 'personal space' issues and the westie hates that the ragdoll gets the best sleeping places.

The maine coone wants to be buds with the raggy but the raggy doens't like the young punk coon, except they are always hanging together. The two dogs just love each other and play insane games with each other over stuffed toys all the time. The doodle loves to retrieve, so when the westie doesn't think she's getting enough attention she steal whatever he's retrieving. A westie trying to run with a frisbee the same size as herself is pretty silly looking.

A pack of nutbags. Having seen some weird species pairings here and on TV I've come to the conclusion that mammals are very similar on the inside.

Yeah, it certainly sounds that way, hinge! Very Happy

@msolga,
You're right Olgs, Mrs Hinge is a bit of ratbag.

@hingehead,
Well I wouldn't go so far as to say that, hinge ...
But, you know, I wonder about the pair of you, really ... Razz

So it's all her fault, this insane critter menagerie in your home? You just go along with it to be obliging?

(I often wonder how some homes get to be so full of critters. So many of them! I mean , check out Iz's place! Surprised Very Happy
In my (past) case, it was because they all "needed a home" & no one else would adopt them. That's how I explained it, anyway. God it was a nightmare on cat inoculation day at the vets! Shocked )

@msolga,
My husband can definitely blame my zoo on me! I started out rescuing cats and now I have seven cats, six dogs (all strays), seven horses, and one mule. Three of the horses are rescues and the mule is the offspring of one of those rescues. So hingehead, I definitely empathize with ya!

No, I'm no hero. I just can't stand to see animals going hungry.

@Arella Mae,
OK, then you are extraordinarily compassionate, how's that? Very Happy

Seriously, the gut wrenching plight of so many lost & abandoned animals ... what can you say? A pox on humans (or those responsible for their plight), I say!

@msolga,
Now, my friend Pam, she is a hero. She is doing so much to see that H.R. 503 is passed so it will be illegal to transport horses out of the US to slaughter for human consumption.

Animals have so much love and compassion. We can learn so much from them.

Cats have always been my favorites. Their capacity to love is so big. Even the wild ones. I have to warn you, this video will make you cry, not because it is sad, but because it so beautifully shows the love a lion has for his humans:

I often wonder what the fur kids do all day while we're at work. Well I have a web cam on my puter and I remoted in from work. Not as exciting as I thought, but not a surprise either:

@Irishk,
Dammit, Irishk, I can't watch that video.
It contains Warner Bros copyright material, which is blocked in my country! Sad Rolling Eyes

But I hope everyone else enjoys it!

@Irishk,
Thanks, Irishk.
Lovely kittens! Very Happy
I don't know how I managed to see it this time, that copyright embargo rule affects our ability to enjoy so many YouTube videos here. It's a real drag, I can tell you! Neutral
