Cats Stealing Dog Beds- Need a good laugh?

[Are_grits_groceries]

Ha!

[cali]

1. Team Canine here: Cats are rotten and selfish and dogs are noble and wonderful

I'm not biased. Those are the facts.

[zipplewrath]

11. Dogs have owners

Cats have staff

[Hutzpa]

68. ^^ This ^^

boom

[bunnies]

97. My cat doesnt have staff.

She has servants.

[KurtNYC]

13. This one is for you...

[cali]

31. thank you.

that made me well up.

[NJCher]

102. those underwater shots are incredible!

I never knew dogs could do that.

112. I adopted a puppy...

Of all places, at a Petsmart when the local Humane Society was there. She was about 4 months old. I named her Chelsea. She was a mix of Border Collie and Australian Shepperd.

Eighteen months ago, at the age of 17, we had to let her go and cross the Rainbow Bridge. She grew up with my kids, so she was like another child to me. It was hard to let her go, but it was time. She had a great life and now, I believe, she is is somewhere running and playing with her two best buddies who left before she did.

When I saw the video, I thought of her.

Then I thought....PUPPIES!!! Nothing sweeter than puppies. Especially when they get a forever home. My sweetie was as smart as they come.....yet was severely lacking in the common sense department. But we all loved her so very much.

We now have two kitties I adopted from the local animal shelter. I've had them for two years. She got to know them for a short time and let them play with her tail and wagged it as much as her energy allowed. It proved to be a short friendship.

Today, please don't ask me who is in charge! I believe it is me. But, I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about that. They rule home and hearth. We are, in fact, their servants. They know EXACTLY when it is dinner time.

HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT? 6am and 6pm on the dot....we are summoned to put down the wet food!! Sheesh!!! They have hard cat food out ALL THE TIIME!! But, if they still insist that we follow their schedule.

We are in fact, slaves to the felines.

[exboyfil]

114. We adopted a 1 year old boy BC 7 years ago and a 1 year old girl Aussie 5 years ago from the shelter

They bring us nothing but joy. I am sorry for your loss. A BC/Aussie mix would be a tremendous dog.

Did you notice how your dog seemed to regret that her kids grew up on her? Our BC lights up whenever he interacts with a child. The two are inseparable and my daughters run both in dog agility. The Aussie and my oldest daughter are like twins. My oldest goes off to college in August, and I wonder how the Aussie will take it.

[Sophiegirl]

121. My hubbie bought me the cutest book years ago

It was almost like a child's picture book. Each page had a dog with a caption under it.

One showed a sad-sack looking dog. Below it, the caption read, "Off to college? Must be dead."

When they would come home during a break, she wiggled and whined with so much happiness I thought she would hurt herself....or break any furniture closeby.

When my son was deploying to Iraq, he had an overnight stop at Richmond. So we took her and jumped into the car for a three hour drive to see him at the airport, even though we only had an hour there with him. He acted "all business" until we told him she was in the car. He practically ran to the parking lot to see her. Wish I had brought a camera to grab a pic of the two of them in a death lock of a hug. Brought tears to my eyes. They hadn't seen each other in almost a year and you would have thought they were long lost twins finally reunited.

Wow, what a memory. I hadn't thought about this in years. Thanks for triggering that memory.

[Enthusiast]

115. My kitteh complains

until I get in bed so I can get him warm. Seriously.

[Sophiegirl]

116. I am totally not surprised!!

Obey me, pet!!! I mean, human!!!

[First Speaker]

27. Hmmm...you say "cats are rotten and selfish" as if that's a bad thing...

[cali]

32. ......

[Siwsan]

54. Unfortunately, my 2 cats agree with you. And they are MOST proud, of it.

[rhett o rick]

65. Cats are independent. I would think you'd respect that. And dogs eat poop. nm

[SunSeeker]

85. LOL nt

[cali]

110. cats are sociopathic loners, not independent!

and what's a little poop eating compared to being a stalker of innocent birdies?

Hrrumph.

[Douglas Carpenter]

111. +1000

I started out more as a cat lover and indifferent to dogs. But I have done a total change around. Whenever I had complained about relationships or friendship or even loyalty in a work situation. I would hear people say, 'If you want unconditional love - get a dog" "If you want a true friend who will stand beside you no matter what - get a dog" - "If you want loyalty - get a dog" --- I finally took them up on that advice and they were right.

[cali]

113. that's exactly how I started out

As a kid we had the most wonderful cat. His name was Ferdinand after the bull in the children's story, but we called him Fuzz. He was smart and social as all get out. We had dogs too, but none quite as wonderful as Fuzz the cat.

I got my first dog in my early twenties and from then on I was a dedicated dog person. Teladma lived until she was 14, then I got Tucker who lived until she was 19 and a few years after that I got Little-Dog who just died last month. I miss her terribly.

Time for a new pup.

[rhett o rick]

125. My cat kills rats. Beware.

jk

[Buns_of_Fire]

122. I think dogs refer to it as "recycling." nt

[rhett o rick]

126. I doubt if they put that much thought into it. nm

[kydo]

2. thank you for that

[dorkzilla]

3. A daily event at our house!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Very funny!

At my house the cats steal each others' beds, which is also pretty entertaining.

[randome]

18. But what do the ocelots do?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Treat your body like a machine. Your mind like a castle.[/center][/font][hr]

[A HERETIC I AM]

51. Here's one of my favorite YouTube pet vids;

"The Negotiation"

I love how the Boston takes the toy out of frame and you hear it plonk down. Like..."Come and get it, you moron!"

[Skeeter Barnes]

76. LOL I bet they harass each other non stop!

[A HERETIC I AM]

81. Open that in YouTube and then look at the producers channel

She or he has several videos of the two of them. They're great buddies!

[nolabear]

15. But, Ma! That thing's armed!

Thanks for the laugh.

[Solly Mack]

16. I have happy all over me now.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Go Cats! Put those annoying dogs in their lowly place!

[libdem4life]

19. The way I heard it is, "Dogs have owners, cats have staff."

[anneboleyn]

60. My cat always said this -- he was correct I think.

[libdem4life]

62. Yes, the Wisdom of The Meow.

[NuclearDem]

20. One of my black cats does that all the time.

And my fully-grown black lab is actually afraid to try to take it back from him.

[TygrBright]

22. Heehee! Thanks. I DID need a laugh. n/t

[LisaLynne]

[distantearlywarning]

29. Awww! Hillarious and cute!

I'm Team Cat, but even I felt a little sorry for some of those poor dogs.

I loved the part at the end, though, when they all snuggled up together in peace and harmony.

[IrishEyes]

93. I love cats and dogs equally

I always think it is adorable when they sleep together in peace.

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Here's one from my house

[stage left]

39. Aaaaaahhhh!

[distantearlywarning]

79. Aaaaah! The cute! It slays me!

[stage left]

33. I love it, Grits.

Cats say we sleeps wherever we wantz.

[uppityperson]

[rdharma]

37. Get a hotel room you guys!

The three stooges......

[hopemountain]

57. they are all so handsome

love how they have real affection for one another. thank you for sharing your pics of your special family.

[Wolf Frankula]

107. That Reminds Me of a Neighbor's Cat and Dog.

They have a standard poodle and a striped cat. On warm days, I have seen the cat and dog snoozing together on the porch. I have also seen the poodle chase the cat. And if another dog chases the cat, the poodle will chase the dog away. The dog's attitude seems to be, "That is MY cat. I am allowed the chase the cat, and I ALONE. If you chase the cat, I will chase you."

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. Haaaaaa!!!! Soooooo Cuuuuute!!!

[IrishAyes]

41. Great for laughs, but what's wrong with those dogs?

They're clearly not chows, who'd never allow such misbehavior. My chows were always good citizens (in my view) but wouldn't tolerate any challenges to their rule. Well, except from me, and that never was an issue. I taught them to drop food in my hand on command even when they were hungry, and they'd refuse to eat anything I was looking at.

But then I'm not a cat either... only catty!

[OnyxCollie]

42. Oh, man. That was funny!

[elleng]

43. Remind us of anything???

[jtuck004]

74. Teabaggers - Obama...

'ceptin I don't want to lump dogs down there with the 'baggers.

[elleng]

77. No No No, jtuck,

its them CATS!!!!

[jtuck004]

80. LOL n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

44. Holy shit, that's hilarious!

Great find! I love the dog at the 1:49 mark that is pushing the bed with his paw! And the ones dragging the beds around with the cats in them! The look on the Goldens face at the :26 mark, the Beagle trying to squeeze into the cats bed at the :30 mark...

Damn. I absolutely laughed out loud!

Too funny!

Thanks....needed that.


My old Boston would have NEVER put up with that shit! He would have had the cat on the floor in no time!

[jtuck004]

45. Great stuff, thank you. K&R n/t

[Ineeda]

46. I lost both my cats this year

after many years of joy. I hate to admit it, but the tuxedo, Veto, was a Republican. He was always "me first" and/or "everything is mine, mine, mine." This applied to food, attention, toys, sleeping arrangements, etc. Joey, the Coon, was the sweetest pacifist around, so got taken advantage of constantly. I miss them both though, even the Republican.
Thanks for the laughs.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

69. So sorry about your kitties

But I think it is possible to determine our pets political preferences. Undoubtedly, my Chihuahua is a stand-your-ground Republican who barks my sweet Democratic cat Georgy off the bed or the couch every chance she gets.

Thanks for the posting, Ms. Grits.

K&R

[TrogL]

47. My dogs are allowed on the couch - unless the cats have taken it over

The cats have their own cat castle but noooooooo, they have to take over the couch and won't let the dogs on.

[Niceguy1]

56. cats and dogs are like men

And women....the dogs (men) thinks they run everything but in reality it the cats (women) who do. Don't believe me? Try to try to teain your cat abd see where that gets you lol ha ha ha ha ha ha

[shireen]

48. LOL!

thanks! that is utterly priceless!

[leftstreet]

49. LOL

[hopemountain]

50. i resisted clicking on your post

because i am pissed about the 2 year olds in congress.

but i am glad i did because there is a metaphor in here for a solution. lol.

[Liberalynn]

52. Thanks I needed that

[CatWoman]

53. that was very sweet

and funny

[MADem]

55. Best post on DU so far today... nt

[rhett o rick]

66. I agree with you. nm

[Jamastiene]

58. That is adorable.

[eilen]

59. Cat Crimes... Territorial skirmishes..

My little tortie is always stealing my white shepherd/husky mix's bed. The dog then comes to me with The Look and directs my attention to the thief. So I have to make the cat move..... The cat does not lack for sleeping quarters. She goes anywhere and everywhere. Once I went down to the basement for something or other and found her in a basket of mending. Other times I find her on a closet floor, on the guest room bed, on a stack of shopping bags by the entry way.... in a box of magazines in the study.... So you know, she does it just to piss off the dog.

[KansDem]

61. They'll move...

...when it's meal time.

I know. I've got three cats.

[gopiscrap]

63. I love it thanks!

[PatrynXX]

64. I needed that

hey cats & dogs work it out too. beagle lover although who stuck those weiners in there ahem Hound lover sue me. with a side order of Shiba Inu (a dog with cat like manners )

[gopiscrap]

67. my cat trapped a Newfoundlander in a room and wouldn't let him go

also had a cat at one time that would go into the neighbor's cat doors and eat their cat's food and then challenge the resident cat.

[Faygo Kid]

70. Nightly occurrence around here.

Typical of the video: The old dog always loses, until I move the cat.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

71. I'm not usually a "cat pic"/"cat vid" person...but those were funny

[berni_mccoy]

72. Much needed distraction, thank you!

[grantcart]

73. great

[NYC_SKP]

75. It has a happy ending. I love that!

[MarianJack]

78. Per my lovely wife,...

...Sooo cute & SOOO PRECIOUS!

PEACE!

[Ahpook]

82. Play the Benny Hill theme song

In another window

No matter where you start, it works

[Hekate]

83. The littlest dogs are the most assertive, I see

Oh Great Dog, those scenes are just so typical, and hilarious and kinda sad too.

Thanks so much for the laughs. We all need it.

[pengillian101]

84. Hilarious! K&R n/t

[NJCher]

Napolean complex.

[bunnies]

99. lmao!

I hear that song every day. My cats in a thrash band though.

[davidpdx]

124. Me too

One of the cats bites when he doesn't get his food.

[bunnies]

127. I feel your pain.

Mine bites at my eyelids. Just hard enough to make them open. She's lucky she's cute.

[NastyRiffraff]

95. Thanks!

I REALLY needed some laughs.

Love the way the dogs try politely asking for their beds back and the cats just ignore them. "Don't bother me.I'm taking a nap"

[winter is coming]

96. Thanks for this. Kidlet had a tough day at school and this cheered her up. n/t

[B Calm]

98. Too funny

[bluemarkers]

100. thank you

I needed that!

"are" friend's little tiny Chihuahua would visit and go to our dog's bed the very first thing and not let him on. every single time! It was funny.

[Lucky Luciano]

104. Excellent! nt

[lunasun]

105. The dogs should remember they must obey the kitty!!!

[Rowdyboy]

106. Very, very cute

[arthritisR_US]

108. Having a dog and two cats this is spot on!:) n/t

[loudsue]

109. I love that!!

Gotta send it to a bunch of cat/dog people I know!


awwww

[madokie]

117. Love it, thanks

[LWolf]

118. That's the way it works at my house.

The dog doesn't dare take the bed back from the cat. They DO share, if the cat allows her room. The dog tolerates the cat grooming her; she tolerates way too much. She will finally give a sharp bark and lunge when the cat pushes her too far with teeth and claws; not often, but sudden and loud enough to back the cat down.

[Enthusiast]

119. We had our very own version here.

The cat got in the dog's bed and the dog squeezed into the cat bed.

[Snake Plissken]

120. forget Cats Stealing Dog Beds

Someone should make a video of cats stealing humans beds

[davidpdx]

123. That is so cute

Cats rule, dogs drool!

[toby jo]

128. Wow ! Rich, thanks, grits.

I live in a 1-room schoolhouse with 4 dogs and 2 cats and we all get along pretty well, if not piled up on each other once in awhile. Then there's the wildlife that creeps in and out - a snakeskin draped across the vines over my front door, the bats in the belfry ( 5 of them, way cool ) , birds, bee's nest in the wall, and now it's spider season - for coming in to winter over. But that's ok, it's all good.

[Brewinblue]

129. Laughed

till there were tears in my eyes.

What a great pick-me-up!

I love dogs, but I wish I could be my cat.

[awoke_in_2003]

130. I kind of feel bad for the great Dane...

big bad doggy looks so defeated

[Isoldeblue]

131. That's what's needed!!

Some cats in congress to stand up to Cruise and the teahadists!!
Many there could learn a lesson or two from cats, huh?

[indepat]

132. Kitty-cats can always be depended on being kitty-cats and who would ever want it any

other way.
