From Ana comes this warning - or the plot of a future romance. You decide.

Link? Meow.

Have a crapping good time this weekend. With your cats, of course.

Memo to myself: Close the office door *before* watching the Friday videos. That way, the laughing can’t escape into the corridor.

And if anyone gets the option right at the end to watch Misery Bear, it’s fantastic. There’s a whole series but the work one is excellent. Not romantic, though.

Thanks for my first laugh of the day!

(This video explains a lot, actually -LOL)

OMG!!!!

My eyes are burning with tears because of this video. This is something my very possessive and demanding male cat would do, if he could!

So funny! And, my god, what a beautiful cat.

Well, this explains things!

This is just one of the reasons it’s a good idea to charm the cat of the woman you’re seeing.

OMG - This happened to me! Invited the cat-allergic future Mr. Richland and his best friend, who happens to be a rather finicky gentleman, to my apartment for a summer dinner. Salmon. Roasted potatoes. Nectarine blueberry pie. Covered the pie with clean dishtowel and set it on the counter while we enjoyed food and wine. At dessert time, we discovered my sweet tortoise-shell kitty, Muffin, had been enjoying a warm tuffet—sitting on my pie! Cat butt in pie! We decided that, because there had been a dishtowel between the two, we would proceed to eat the pie. (Perhaps much wine had been drunk, aiding that decision.) Everyone had two pieces, marriage occured a few years later, and finicky friend was the best man.

I’ve seen it before and it is AWESOME! Thanks for posting it.

This is why I love my DOGS! They’ve never tried to use my computer.

OMG soooo funny. That really cheered me up. Cat 1 used to sick up hairballs under the bed at 3 am, and DH survived that.

Mr Socks…LOL.

SOOOOOOOOOOO glad I’m a dog person. Minnie would never do any of that stuff. Plus if I fart I can blame it on her.

Loved it. Thank you!

My future husband is allergic to cats but decided to date me even though I have three. He’s getting less allergic the more he’s around them. But they (all neutered males) seem to be more possessive of me when he’s in my apartment. It’s wonderful having the attention of four handsome…uh…male creatures.
I sent the cat video to one of my single friends with five felines. She’s now watching for similar signs.

I can’t say that I found the video funny at all: we all have different senses of humour. The cat is a handsome specimen, though.
For those who remark, ‘my dog would never do that’; even taking that in the non-literal sense intended (cats can’t actually use computers either!), it’s a questionable assertion.
Some dogs can be extremely possessive and jealous in relation to their favourite humans. I think that canine and feline motivations in trying to block the introduction of new humans into their established homes tend to be slightly different. Dogs are more likely to resent the personal relationship between their designated human and other humans, while cats are often more concerned about changes to the daily routines they have sometimes spent a long time establishing and enforcing on their human pet. But both species can be equally clever and devious in the ways they devise for scaring off what they see as interlopers — even without the use of computers, writing and opposable thumbs. And both are pragmatic enough to adapt to the inevitable, and eventually to train the new human to fit in properly, if they fail to frighten him off at an early stage.

For cat fans try googling cat with thumbs - a great advert to put fear into cat owners.

@Ag - Well, I know for a fact that while Minnie is possessive of me, she still wouldn’t do that. Being a former puppy mill breeder she tends to be extremely submissive and shy of other people. I’ve been trying to socialize her - most kids she’s willing to approach, but adults she tends to be scared of unless they have dogs with them.

JamiSings: it all depends on the individual cat or dog, and you know your dog, and what she would or would not do. They differ just as much as people do, and one will not necessarily avoid the kind of behaviour parodied in the video simply by choosing to live with a dog rather than a cat. Like us, dogs and cats may be timid in some respects, bold in others, rational about some things, obsessive about others…
My point was simply that it is not true to say that there is a cat/dog contrast when it comes to manipulative behaviour or expressions of jealousy, which I took to be the implication of your earlier post in this thread. Although, as I have said, the precise motivations may differ in feline and canine minds, it is simply a fact that individual members of both species may exercise considerable effort and ingenuity in trying to influence their surroundings and their humans’ behaviour.
