Hey, love your pets here! Tell us all about them! Tells us about pets you have lost and pets that are still with you.

Our big white cat, Newman, likes to sleep on paper towels. He knocked the roll off the counter then unrolled four or five and curled up to sleep. I managed to rescue the roll, but I left the part he likes to sleep on. He inspired me to start this thread with his behavior.

Our other big orange cat, Twila, likes to eat saltine crackers. She picks them up in her mouth and runs around with them like she has caught a mouse or something. Then she licks the salt off the darn thing and finally eats the cracker. She is weird.

Twila has a lung tumor, but her condition has miraculously stabilized, even though the vet gave her 3 months to live a year ago. She has gained back all the weight she lost and rarely coughs like she used to after going on medication. Yeah!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

My fiance and I have create voices/personalities for our cats. They are quite comical. Twila is an airhead who forgets her name and what color she is. Newman is an egomaniac who's favorite food is pork and claims have a PHD in literature.
Are we just strange or does anyone else do this?

Finally, I must tell of a big blue tick hound dog named Smokey that came into my life when I lived in the country as a teenager. We lived off of a two lane road that many semi trucks used to to connect to a major Alabama highway. Smokey liked to chase these semis, as foolish as that was. Being a country dog who just wandered up to our house one day, keeping him inside resulted in loud baying at all hours of the day and night.

One day, his last day, Smokey caught himself a big truck. He died a happy dog, I know it.

Well thanks for listening to me gush about the animal friends I know and have known.

Please tell your pet stories!
