I had just moved in with a new housemate and one morning was standing in a hot shower trying to talk my eyelids open when I felt something brush against my legs. A large something. Squealing and trying without success to climb up the tiled walls, I looked down to find that I had two surprise guests in the tub with me. My housemate's two cats were apparently in the habit of showering every morning and evidently were not particular as to who they shared with.

I was in the living room tickling me 5 year old son on the floor and our cat Morgan must have thought that I was hurting my son and she would pounce on me as if to say leave me buddy alone. She would do it every time I tickled Anthony. Anthony has a very strong loud laugh and Morgan loved him. We all did. We just lost Morgan last week. She was 16 years old. We have great loving memories of her.

When my husband and I were dating, and in a long-distance relationship, I went to stay at his apartment in New York over the summer. As I was eating lunch one day while sitting at the computer, his new cat, Gwennie, came up to me and began meowing. Then she jumped on the computer desk and meowed some more. Never having been a cat owner before, I had no clue what she wanted, so I just petted her on the head and kept eating and working. Finally, she sniffed my slice of cheddar, walked over on the side of the desk, reached out, and slapped me right across the face (thankfully with her claws IN, not OUT)! I got the message and gave her the rest of the cheese. At that point I knew who was always going to be the lady of the house!

Our Australian Cattle Dog, Dusty, loved to play. She would run, fetch, and snatch a Frisbee out of the air and she was willing to play any hour of the day or night.

Immediately after giving birth to to five puppies, she whined to go outside. She grabbed the Frisbee on the way out of the door! I was shocked that she wanted to play so soon after having puppies. She played for about 20 minutes, came inside...and gave birth to one more puppy!

What a dog. I still miss her.

During a serious bout with major depression, my ex-husband took custody of my teenaged children. I took the loss quite hard and found myself having a hard time living from day to day. During one in-patient stay at a psychiatric hospital, my cat YumYum got out and became pregnant. When her big day came, she snuggled between my knees as I sat on my daybed, and gave birth to her kittens right there. It was as if she was sharing her experience with me. Although I made a nest for her and the four kittens in a closet, YumYum persistently moved the kittens to the unused side of my king-sized bed. YumYum shared her babies with me, as if she knew that would ease the pain of my loss of my own children. It'a amazing how perceptive she was to my pain, and how gracious she was in helping to ease it.

I have a Pekingese named General Tsao, yes after the Chinese take out food. Well, my boyfriend and I from the very beginning noticed something different about him. Instead of a bark like normal dogs make, General Tsao will either meow like a cat or make the sound of a crying baby. When I first heard it I wasn't sure what it was until I discovered him in his cage crying to be let out. I have to say its a conversation starter at parties when he sees new people and "meows."

My favorite story is about my Charlie. Charlie is a gray tabbie (stray) that I took in several years ago. One winter night Charlie woke me meowing. Get up to see what he wants. Food? No. Go back to bed. Few minutes later he taps me on my head. What? Go to the back door, you want out? No. Okay, back to bed again. So again laying in bed he taps me on my head again. As I get up again at the same moment I could hear my furnace making a strange noise. By the time I got up and to the furance flames were coming out at me. Luckly I was able to turn it off immediately. Not sure what would have happened if he didn't wake his "mom" up in time.

Our cairn terrier liked to tease our oldest daughter. This was witnessed once by our youngest daughter, and once by my husband. Buttons would scratch on M's bedroom door, and when she heard my daughter get up to answer, she would run to the living room and lie down. When the dog heard M go back in her room, she would go back and scratch the door again. When she heard M coming she would run back to the living room and lie down. She repeated this about three times. M finally got wise and waited for her at the door. When buttons scratched at the door M opened the door fast and made the dog jump. This ended the game until the next time.
