Funny Cats

Funny cats liven up the lives of pet lovers everywhere. Funny cats scamper about the house doing the darnedest things like flying through the air, chasing each other's tails or ringing doorbells to be let in.

Over the past 40 years or so, I've had a dozen or so funny cats that have entertained me and my family. One of the funny cats lived to be over 20 years old and he was a smart old feline to boot.

Right now there are four funny cats running about the house, wreaking havoc and entertaining like no other pet can. Dogs and other animals are fine around the house, but a few funny cats are just what every household needs.

Many years ago one of my funny cats would ring the rear doorbell on the house. We thought the neighbor kids were playing "Ding Dong Ditch" on us but could never catch them. The only thing we kept seeing time after time was our funny little cat sitting outside waiting to be let in.

Finally, one day, I heard the rear doorbell ring and peaked out the side curtain. I saw this funny cat jumping in the air ringing the doorbell on about half of the attempts. Apparently, like Pavlov and his dogs, some funny cats will catch on that if it jumps at a particular location of the house long enough, someone will let it in.

One of my other funny cats used to hang out atop the garage refrigerator all day and would swat whomever walked by in an attempt to be petted. If you tried to walk away, this funny cat would grab you with its paws to try to keep you from leaving.

One of the funny cats that I have now actually likes to wear baby clothing and canine t-shirts. Since this funny cat was a young kitten it was being handled by the kids and learned to accept all sorts of handling including being dressed up.

First the feline would be dressed up in baby clothing, then later I found our funny cat walking around the house during a garage sale wearing a doggie t-shirt that said the "B" word on it.

So, what would the world be like without funny cats to add spark, life and humor to it? My funny cats have always been a source of joy, entertainment and even inspiration. Do you have a few funny cats that have also given this as well?
