About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies. And other quick jokes.

SURVEY finds 60 percent of people are distracted by the Internet from doing housework. Said survey adds that people are more likely to spend more time communicating with friends on the Internet or fiddling with Facebook than doing the laundry, vacuuming the floor, or cleaning the attic. Reason why many are pissed that they are “suspended” by Facebook for an hour due to violations of “community standards,” which include their failure to do housework for a month. 😒📲💻

CATS are easily affected by the smell, attitude, and ambience of an individual. You should know why the cat doesn’t dig you at all. Also, cats get irritated when dogs chase them. Fizz: “Dogs chase for no scientific reason at all, whatsoever.” However, there are instances of dogs living with cats for years without any problem. That is because the dog doesn’t have drama. Fizz: “I am annoyed with dogs who go dramatic after clicking those silly political memes on Facebook.” 😼🙀😾

THESE days Americans are reading less than they have in over 30 years. You read that right. The Americans surveyed in Gallup's poll said they read (“either all or part of the way through”) an average of 12.6 books in 2021, down from 15.6 in 2016 and a recent high of 18.5 in 1999. Trudat. I know of people who say they still read books but after 2 pages they’d start dancing for TikTok and so they never finished a magazine article that is only 300 words short. 📚📖📲

WHY do dogs chase balls? Dog ancestors possessed skill in hunting. They have passed down this instinct through generations. With their round shape and ability to roll and bounce, balls trigger a dog's prey drive. The act of chasing and retrieving a ball taps into their natural instincts. A sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Yet notice that dogs who coexist with cats under one roof seldom or don’t chase balls. Why? Cats have told dogs how stoopid chasing balls for no scientific reason is. 🐕🏐🐕

CATS and dogs have different nutritional needs and should not be fed the same food. In addition, the dog will probably eat most or all of the food, leaving the cat hungry. Makes sense. Though that is also a marketing trick. Business BS. Specific food for dogs and specific food for cats–means two different consumer budgets. Pretty much saying, Krispy Kreme is only for conservatives, Dunkin for liberals. PBR is for Republicans, handcrafted ek-ek is for Democrats. LOL! 🐈😋🐕

WHY do we always remember things to do when we are already in bed? That's because sleeping helps strengthen memories you've formed throughout the day. It also helps to link new memories to earlier ones. You might even come up with creative new ideas while you slumber. Have you thought about that? Don’t forget that, okay? When you are already in bed, you remember things that you forgot, and you do it again tomorrow night. (Are you confused now? Me, too.) 🥱😴😧

CATS train humans. They likely wake you up early in the morning because they woke you up once before and you either fed them or gave them love. So they do that again and again. Ching and Fizz though don’t manipulate my cellphone to blare a super-loud ringtone to wake me up. They simply stare at me till I open my eyes a bit. A stare that is weaponized by “guilt trip.” Like, my eldest sister Ate Tess when we were little and still in bed at 10 AM on a weekend. The Stare. 😼😺😾

CATS assume that getting fed every day is synonymous with love? No. That is an egregious misconception! Cats believe we feed them because that's what we're supposed to do. We are fulfilling our duties as the servants that we are. In fact, whatever I do for Ching and Fizz, they supervise me. Do this, do that, do those again! Cats though are not judging us. That would mean they care about us? Nope. They simply are studying us nonstop, for more control and manipulation. Ha! 😺😸🙀

WHILE children often look to us as teachers, we often don't consider what they could be teaching us. Kids can teach us so much about living life or making the most out of any situation. We could actually relearn a thing or two from them. Like, many oldies on Facebook behave like 7-year olds. There must be Facebook control that says a misbehaving adult should have a child beside them while Facebook’ing. Or they should not be allowed to use Facebook at all. 👧👴🧒

CIRCADIAN rhythm is key in a dog's relationship with time. Circadian, get that? Physiological changes in the body tell a dog when it is time to wake up, sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, and walk. Dogs have an impressive sense of smell. Or a dog standing by the door is a classic sign that she wants to go outside. They may whine, bark, or paw at the door to get your attention. Arrow? After fifteen minutes of walking, she sends me a text message. Five minutes, an IM. So I know. 🐕🚶‍♂️🐕
