Cats are interesting animals. I will admit, I’m a dog person. I just love the constant companionship. I love the snuggling, licks, and playful times we share. That being said, I’m sure there are lots of cats out there that do this. Unfortunately, my cat is not one of them. Pip runs and hides when strangers come over, he has never licked me in the 9 years that I’ve had him, and he never let's me pick him up. I love that little cat though (although, in the rare times visitors have spotted him, I ‘ve been told he’s not little at all).

He’s cute, if I do say so myself, and he’s so darn strange.

For example, one of Pip’s favorite things to do is drown his toys in water. He loves the little mice with catnip in them and runs away with glee every time he’s given one. But within hours, if not minutes, the poor little toy mouse will be found floating helplessly in Pip’s water bowl or in the toilet (it’s not fun fishing the poor thing out of there). Why he does this, only Pip knows.

I guess I shouldn’t complain because a cat in the UK is stealing things and bringing them home. This cat is literally going out into his neighborhood and coming back with old socks, half-eaten food, dead mice and birds and within the last year, has brought home 35 stuffed toys.

Frankie finds his treasures, and does the old drag and drop right through his kitty door, leaving them in the same spot on his owner’s floor. Now, the owner is putting up signs to try to return the items to the lost owners.

I guess the lessoned learned here is that when you think your pet is naughty, he can always be worse.

Final thought – pets are awesome. Here’s another example of why:
