1. Dogs and Cats (along with many other creatures) are smarter and MORE LOYAL.........

6. My cat looks like that and acts like that

We named her 'evil'.

She sits at the back door trying to get the dogs to play with her, and they just prance around with worried looks on their faces :)

When we put them together, wiggles just shakes and does not try to hurt her, he wants only to play.

12. What a beautiful family you have there.....

The little girl (your daughter, I presume) is a real beauty/cutie. Wiggles and 'the cat' look like real 'characters', to be sure.

Thanks for the recognition for the vid, but I didn't create it, as you realize, so it wasn't necessary.

DU'ers (like you) are awfully nice/good people though.... :hug:

Peace,

16. Cat is very pretty. Dog looks to be quite the sport...

And that pretty little lass: Damn, now I remember why I am in this fight for the long haul... :loveya:

7. We've had multiple pets for as long as I can remember...

Several years ago, our cat gave birth to 6 little ones...right in Mikey's dog house! He didn't seem to mind at all. He would lay just outside the door, as if he was guarding the brood.

When the mama cat needed a little breather, Mikey happily took her place inside. He would curl up next to the kittens, gently nuzzling them and delivering yet another bath, whether they needed it or not. When the mother returned, he would resume his watch from outside.

I've never seen anything like it before...or since.

9. There are several examples of animal species doing that and more

Every now and again, for example, you'll hear of xyz wild animal nursing a baby animal from another species. Occasionally, they're natural enemies.

It's amazing every time I hear about it happening.

17. My SIL had a cat who was a total monster to most people

and a dog about as big as his dog house. He seldom was invited inside. But when that queen was ready to present a litter, she raised bloody hell until someone brought the dog in. He would lay down by her and as soon as she had the sack off a kitten, he would finish up cleaning and drying. How he kept from accidentally flinging a kitten in the air with that huge tongue of his was testament to just how much dexterity a dog can exercise with that equipment.

When birthing was all done, the shaggy midwife would nudge all the tiny guys to their mom. He would watch over them like the proudest of dads. That cat and dog couldn't HAVE babies together, but they were life-partners and they raised them together quite happily.

When kitten were big enough to go outside, NOBODY messed with them. Good dog made sure of that!
