Posted by: Mrs.CP Jul 23 2012, 09:08 AM

I have several pictures of animals doing funny things, so I thought a thread for them would be fun. happy088.gif If you have any I would love to see them! happy.gif

This is one that comes to mind from my collection.....
smiley-chores016.gif

This is a picture of our old dog Snowy. When she wanted to come in, she would beg a little. rolleyes.gif Could hear her whining from the other side of the house. giggle.gif Maybe she was thinking, why does the cat get all the good stuff?

Funny pic and fun topic! My pc is still crashed and I'm operating from the smartyphone or I'd add a silly pic or two from the Lulubear archives... hopefully I'm back online later this week. It'll be hard to top that one though! smiley-laughing021.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Jul 27 2012, 07:51 AM

I'm looking forward to them Chris! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Here is one I took of Mocha kitty looking out the window. spock.gif
I first have to explain that she had caught a baby bunny several weeks back. smiley-shocked003.gif We made her release it without harm, but now she has been confined to the house for not playing nicely. Now she grabbs her catnip toy (fuzzy nipper) bouncing from window to window staring at them while they play outside. slaphead.gif Amazing how long she can hold that toy in her mouth. Practice for next time maybe? dry.gif

Not much of a mystery to what she was thinking here though. laugh.gif Beast!
Guess she thinks bunnies would taste good also Woody!

Here is a picture of our fire pit. We usually only use it to heat up water but it definately gets used........just wasn't expecting it to be used for a home. greensmilies-025.gif Every time I go to use it, it's filled with fresh dirt with a big hole on the inside edge of the pit. smiley-shocked003.gif

Check it out Woody, they are practilly jumping onto the grill for us here. giggle.gif What in the world was/is it thinking? confused0082[1].gif
"I really love your rocks!"

See the bunny in the picture?

Denise the kitty can't help wanting to uh...play smiley-laughing021.gif with the bunnies. It's natural. Of coarse you know this. I'm sure the thought of haveing to clean up after her would suck deluxe. sad.gif Too bad she hasn't got another hundred pounds or so on her. She could be bringing home deer and antelope to ya. drool.gif I know I know but I am a man after all. music037.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Aug 6 2012, 10:37 AM

Haha, your right Jim. She is more interested in the smaller things though right now. Is really funny to watch her though. If she spots a bird out the window, she starts to vibrate her head and meep continuously at it. laugh.gif I do feel bad not letting her out, so we have been taking her to the fenced in garden with us. We tried a leash, but as soon as she realizes it has ahold of her, she goes gonzo so I just carry her. She usually just races to the corn plants and hangs out in there chomping leaves.

When Dan was a kid, his cat use to bring home huge jack rabbits to the door.
smiley-shocked003.gif

Update on the fire pit bunny........
I was working on heating up water at the fire pit and while walking around it my foot sank in to my ankle.....scared the crap out of me!! I pull my foot out and look and there was a bunny looking at me like...Ox! slaphead.gif blush.gif Within a few minutes, it had closed up the caved hole to the right and went back to it's underground business.....sheesh!

Posted by: swizz Aug 12 2012, 06:28 PM

I'm pretty sure I know what these Bears were thinking..... "a giant pick-a-nik basket Boo Boo" excited.gif
I get nightly visits. BUT no more (I hope). The oily substance that you can see on my dumpster is "Icy Hot". I smeared it along the upper perimeter and the sun melted it down today. From what I was told they hate the smell of it. wink.gif




Posted by: Mrs.CP Aug 14 2012, 07:34 AM

Crazy bears! Hopefully it will stop them from coming back.........I personally love Icy Hot and am a frequent user. giggle.gif

When the cat decided to go outside and swat at a rattle snake, it was time she come in....sigh..What was she thinking?

mellow.gif Who called for the furry solar panel repair cat? confused0082[1].gif

What in the world was this cat thinking getting on our roof?


Posted by: Mrs.CP Dec 11 2012, 07:59 AM

I was just about to take a picture of an agate guitar pick I made, and my furry little helper thought it needed further inspection. rolleyes.gif
Last time she tried to scam a stone from me, it was a flashy Opal she thought was taunting her with it's rolling flashes.

What in the world is she thinking!?

One of our ninja cats brought in a present just after we had set down for supper a couple of days ago. Luckily the Bat didn't get into the Christmas tree. This is just another of wildlife and reptiles to be add to the list of presents. They bring stuff in and turn it a loose and start showing us all of there ninja moves. Wasn't time for a camera. The Bat disappeared into the dark after some house hold commotion and the ninja hunted all over the house for the Bat. More like what was i thinking

Posted by: Mrs.CP Dec 13 2012, 11:18 AM

laugh.gif Too funny Burrell! I can definately understand not wanting a freaked out bat for a Christmas tree ornament.
Our cat was bringing us gifts to the front door also, but would just give us dirty looks when we would let them get away. She thinks we stink at this hunting thing. giggle.gif

smiley-laughing021.gif Crack me up Chris, exactly! If you drop one of those g's, you would have another of her obsessions. LEGO'S! excited.gif
We nick named her Catzilla because when Timmy builds Lego towers, she comes stomping and biting her way through them. Then she just looks around from inside the now roofless building like it was a job well done. biggrin.gif Then off to pick on the dog. laugh.gif

They say "Some people own cats and still go on to lead normal lives" huh.gif We are still working on that one! laugh.gif


Posted by: Mrs.CP Feb 1 2013, 08:28 AM

A long time ago my mom gave me a "http://www.kikkerland.com/products/solar-powered-rainbowmaker-+-swarovski-crystal/" for my birthday. I love it!! wub.gif
It not only makes me happy to watch the rainbows traveling all over the room, but it makes the cat climb the walls!...literally! smiley-laughing021.gif

I recommend getting one of these. Very relaxing to watch if your not a cat. giggle.gif They are made to be held to the window with a suction cup but I suggest rigging a harnace to hang it from like we do so the unit doesn't just drop from the window. happy112.gif

I see they have one now that has a base to just sit in the window. happy.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Feb 9 2013, 08:21 AM

Mice were getting into the bird/bunny seed bag, so I brought it inside. The cat and dog heard me filling a cup full for the critters, came running and decided that it was something they also wanted. spock.gif They chomp it down like it is a special treat. Am I missing something? What are they thinking? confused0082[1].gif

Now I can't get the seed for the birds and bunnies without giving them some also. slaphead.gif

Posted by: burrell Feb 12 2013, 11:52 AM

Taco one of the 2 ninja cats. They also like the solar panel for some reason.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 8 2013, 08:40 AM

Cats are definately the most entertaining I think.......for instance.

Our cat really loves the dog! She brings her toys and drops them in front of the dog. Gives her kisses all the time on her forehead, nose and feet. happy.gif So lovie dovie but something happens and like the Tootsiepop owl, after three licks chomps her nose or ear. smiley-shocked003.gif

This is from one of my fishing forums. One of the moderators took this pic yesterday in Texas. A deer and dog playing. He said they took off before he could turn his truck around but got this shot. Pretty funny, you can tell the Lab is waggin his tail.

Posted by: swizz Mar 29 2013, 07:11 PM

Since that engine swap earlier this winter my Jeep's been purrrrin' like a kitten. slaphead.gif
This is Larry the neighbor's cat, he likes me... he's thinking camouflage? Matches the Jeep.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 29 2013, 08:24 PM

Cute pictures Chris! I have heard stories before about deer and dogs getting along, very neat to see a pic. I bet Larry the cat was cold and you had a warm hood. Cracks me up when I see vehicles with cat tracks all over them. giggle.gif

Me too. I've listened to neighbors complain about tracks on their nice cars... but to me, my Jeep looks better with critter tracks all over it. In the fall I've gotten Bear paw prints on the sides. Have to have a hard-top here. My ex girlfriends soft-top Jeep got mangled here a few years ago when a bear got in one night... really tore it up. It ate a half carton of cigs she had in there... like 5 packs of cigarettes eaten. She replaced it with a hard-top since.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 30 2013, 08:20 AM

Gads, eating cigs! wacko.gif I bet the bear was regretting that one later. If you have alot of cats in your neighborhood, it might be a good idea to tap on your hood before you start it, there may be a cat hiding in there for heat. happy112.gif

That's part of the conundrum... the bronze statue is a 'HE'... and it's not even rutting season.
I think he's trying to establish dominance and the statue won't give up the turf. slaphead.gif

Not much grass growing in this part of Colorado, so when we go out to cut fire wood we bring some back.......

Things that make you go hmmm! laugh.gif
She's thinking.......Mmmmmmmm grass!!! (while the dog waits in line for her share. biggrin.gif )




 

Posted by: russau Aug 12 2013, 06:54 AM

all of our dogs like to eat grass, but our newest dog even likes the munched up grass from under the mower when i clean it out before putting it away! she will eat it like its a bowl full of dog food!

Posted by: Mrs.CP Aug 15 2013, 06:19 PM

Grass is good for their digestive system. greensmilies-012.gif

Good thing our kitty is cute! Not sure what she was thinking when she walked across the keyboard and APPROVED 63 spammers in the forum this morning. smiley-laughing021.gif OOOPS!

This is what CP looked like when he realized what she did. smiley-shocked003.gif

giggle.gif I can laugh at him about it now, since he went in and removed them one by one. biggrin.gif
Love that kitty of mine!!!

Here is a picture of Mocha enjoying her new (old dead) cat tree. It's about 10' tall.
I wonder what she was thinking while looking off into the distance?
I love this pic of her! happy.gif


 

Posted by: Mrs.CP Oct 26 2013, 11:09 AM

Added another cat tree next to the other.



Not sure what she is thinking......... but I'm thinking "that's one spoiled cat!!" wub.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 16 2013, 11:16 AM

Maybe I should have added that "no kitty was harmed in the taking of these pictures". laugh.gif She loves it!!

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 26 2013, 08:52 AM

She may be thinking...."I guess so, we are friends and can share....just don't fart!" laugh.gif




Easy to tell what Bear dog is thinking as she holds Dan's leg...."I REALLY love this big guy!" wub.gif



Posted by: Mrs.CP Dec 20 2013, 08:50 AM

Posted by: Mrs.CP Dec 23 2013, 09:00 AM

Ha! I was totally thinking about the TP joke. giggle.gif Thanks Chris, the cat really loves the trees we put in the yard for her. She has been helping keep Bear feeling young and on her toes also. laugh.gif As you can see Bear is starting to get white racing stripes with age.

Here is a better look at Bears racing stripes. All black dog but going white on the under carrage.

I saw some Mallards here a few days ago and the geese and cranes have been back for several weeks.

Bear got her belly scratches of course....and some extras for Chris!

Awww, she's an adorable little puppy!! Guess she was thinking, enough of this day...have another long day of terrorizing ahead of me tomorrow. giggle.gif Thanks for the compliments of our furbabies! I somedays think (especially with the bunnies) that it is a good thing they are cute.
Looked out the window today and saw three bunnies against the house. The one was on all fours digging like a dog slinging the dirt between it's legs while the other two watched like they were waiting for their turn like a tag team. mad.gif I opened the window and hollered out "QUIT". They all just stopped and stared at me like what. confused0082[1].gif

Little stinkers!! Good thing their cute!!

Haha!! Too funny Dypheron, good point!!

Posted by: fenixsmom Feb 28 2014, 10:25 PM

Posted by: Caveman Mar 1 2014, 08:54 AM

Stomp at 'em! After they get used to it, they might just start stomping back at ya.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 21 2014, 07:11 AM

Actually stomping is what they do to intimidate one another. I just try to pet them and they take off. laugh.gif

This pic reminds me of a Sesame Street song (because I'm a mom not a fan)........One of these things just doesn't belong here...... mellow.gif spock.gif






 

Posted by: Caveman Mar 21 2014, 03:32 PM

The pet bunny?

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 21 2014, 03:37 PM

Good question but not mine. confused0082[1].gif It just showed up when they were being fed the other morning. Was not what I was expecting to see!! Sure was happy to see some fresh water and seed though.

Posted by: fenixsmom Mar 21 2014, 04:42 PM

Aww it adopted you <3 <3

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 22 2014, 08:54 AM

sadno.gif Actually, it was no where to be seen the next day.

I call it the lucky bunny because the luck it brought with it that day was AMAZING!!!
extra_happy.gif smiley-clapping.gif wub.gif

It's welcome here anytime though.
smile.gif

Posted by: swizz Mar 22 2014, 12:36 PM

Weird that it left.... but really cool that he brought you luck! Maybe your bunny community shunned him (black sheep syndrome?).

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 23 2014, 07:39 AM

Hard to say. Some tried to intimidate it but failed. They would get in front of it while it was eating seed, drop their ears and squat down. Tried the stomp thing but didn't work. When one would lash out to smack it a bounce off would begin.....but not for long, one good bounce and it would land right on the other bunny. Size difference was a big plus for it. Was funny because after it thumped a few, the wild bunnies would come over almost to apologize and eat and drink next to it with no problems.

Kind of like school bullies till you turn and put a thumping on them. laugh.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 23 2014, 11:05 AM

Here is a short video of them in action that I took a few months ago. Notice how they try to intimidate one another with staring into the others eyes, dropping their ears and squatting to the ground.
They will even stomp trying to make the other move, sometimes even tagging the other with its front paws.

Almost looks like something from the movie the Matrix...when in the air in mid bounce, they kick, twist and smack one another. ph34r.gif smiley-shocked003.gif

Disappeared just as quick as it arrived. All these baby kits all over the place now, maybe it thought it ended up at a nursery and not the homeless bunny shelter. laugh.gif

Cracks me up how that one bunny in the video got tagged in the behind when it had it's back turned. Thing jumped right out of the video pic right into more trouble.
