Cat-dog reversal

This is in response to Maylissa's post on blogging Dante...

I enjoyed her post, and I have finally come to realize the problem in my household... cat-dog reversal.

FOOD, lexx wouldn't eat anything for the longest time.. Everything had to be JUST SO. The meat the PERFECT size, the PERFECT temperature, goodness forbid if it were too frozen, or not broken up perfectly. The cats however will scarf anything anytime from anyone. They of course PREFER it a certain way, but will certainly eat it anyways. I cannot even take turkey, chicken or beef OUT of the fridge before I have a tangle of howling demanding fur balls at my feet. Lexx on the other hand, patiently gives me big brown eyes saying..mom? please? maybe... maybe dobermans could just have the tiniest piece of that? Just a little... maybe? ( at least this was the case prior to his seizure meds... but who can blame the dog who's brain thinks he's starving?)

Sleeping habits:
Lexx, crawls up on the couch or bed and nestles himself into the crook of my knees, or gently next to my head where he gets the most pets. He will stretch out and spoon next to me, daintly suggesting that dobermans DO in fact need pillows. My cats... they will jump up landing on me and settle themselves ( all fluffy 10lbs of them) on TOP of my head, my feet, my stomach until i either drop kick them across the room while sleeping, or move so that they are no longer squishing me. I will give the cats a point here in their ability to remain in one position. They will sleep all night in one ball, Lexx... constant movement, alas why he is NOT a bed dog.

Toys and possessions: Lexx still owns the stuffies he got at 8 weeks old. When one does break or get a hole or start to shed fluff, he carries it to me with a sad "mom... its broken...fix?" look on his face...pure sadness when something is broken. The cats? The cats destroy toys.. mice have no tails, no ears, no eyes. Small stuffy creatures are hanging on for dear life. The cat and the dog both hate beds but neither destroy them...

interesting.
