Sometimes when a dog is barking at me I like to bark back and watch them run away in fear

Oh hell, I thought that was just a fun thing to do. I mean, crap, growing up I was around animals all the time and would 'speak with them in their languages.' Never would do the horse though. But, I thought it was just fun.

I dip toast in tea. I only eat rice on its own; if it's mixed with something else, I dislike it.

Whenever I see a cat, I have to stop for a chat. At some point I will inevitable bring the "conversation" around to the subject of whether they would like to do a swap, and I try to convince them that they would really enjoy being the "monkey". Pretty mean, now that I think about it - why would I want to inflict that on a cute kitty?

I also like to make up my own words for things, or even just words with no meaning. For example, if I'm at someone's house and want to ask if I can make a coffee, I have to try and remember not to call it a "Kitchen adventure" or describe the coffee as "Mega-Nomalicious". Today's word is "Smnecketibomp" (I think that's how it would be spelled!) - it has no meaning, I just like the sensation in makes when I say it.

In my Communication workshops I talk about

A. Timing
B. Right Timing
C. Wrong Timing at the right time ---

Such as odd comments to change flow of argument

D. Memory and combination of events and sound creating comedy
1. Cat crawls in dryer with warm towels and ...
2. Sound of tennis shoes in dryer
Becomes

3 Cat in dryer ---
quiet cat sound
Fist hits table
Louder cat sound
Fist hits table
LOUD Mad cat sound
Fist hits table.

I really thinks cats are too smart to take you up on that. I mean, what could possibly be better than being a cat? They know how good they have it as evidenced by their look of smug superiority. In a human I would find that attitude repellent but cats get away with it because they are so cool.

Our neighborhood feral cats are on a hangout about our buffet.

Actually it's my wife's hobby.
She's a cat whisperer. Really.
I'm the sewious one, she's the smart compassionate animal person.
