The Dog Lovers Thread

It depends on the cat. Gypsy is a greeter, she starts running towards me when she sees me and meows her greetings. Some of the neighbourhood cats approach people who are on walks too.

There's a big black cat that lives near me who often greets me when I go outside. He doesn't do it to anyone else in my family, just me. I'm allergic to cats, but love them, but outside I can handle hanging with Panther Boy. He will meow and run over to me and run around my feet.

He looks well taken care of, and I have nothing to give him as a treat as we only have vegan food here.

I wonder if it is a black cat thing. They are very curious cats, or tend to be.

Yes! Jean Claude greets us and Audrey loves to throw herself onto the floor directly in front of my feet (can't tell you how many times I have almost eaten the floor). Rhett recognizes my car and runs to greet me with meows and ankle rubs. We call him The Official Greeter.When we take the dogs out, Rhett and Abby trail along for a few feet, meowing mournfully until I escort them back home and into the front door before we can continue. There's a gorgeous gray male we named Friendlycat who greets us on each and every walk. He nuzzles the dogs and follows us all the way to the end of the block.
I do agree that dogs require more attention than cats-they're like children in so many ways.
The dog greeting is like nothing else! Mo and Bea are hilarious. Doesn't matter if we're gone for two hours or two minutes- the welcome is still the same!

Sounds like you have an awesome group of pets! Yes I think cats vary in affection. Some are more shy and others are more outgoing. I think they are the same as people in the way there are more extroverted and introverted cats.

This is for Poppy next time she pops in. My stepdaughter lives in California and just adopted this little cutie. Her name is Mini and she is 7 weeks old.

I felt so bad for them, initially. A stray dog showed up on their doorstep four months ago. They kept trying to find her owner. Then two weeks ago they were located so they had to give her up. It was so sad but they said the dog and the owners were so happy. It was bittersweet.

Then they found out a friend has a chi who had puppies so it all worked out in the end. She is so cute!

So adorable! And she fits inside a sweater!

Such fun was had on the puppy playdate.

I just love this thread... Pups are four weeks old! Pics and video coming soon.

 

[Freesia]

I can't wait! They are at their most precious at that age!

Uncle's dog is now 5 months old, she has grown so much. And Riley has reached 11 weeks now. He is growing fast.

Is that Uncle's dog in the puppy play date pics?
