About Dogs and Cats and their Buddies. And some little jokes.

Previously posted on my Facebook Page.

THE dog will defend or protect the cat if the rascal is attacked on the family property. Some dogs, particularly livestock guardian breeds, will protect ANY animals it considers part of its family. Very true. Before I actually spent time, 24/7, with dogs and cats, I sort of rode with the stereotype that dogs and cats are not friendly with each other. Not true. Fake news. They are in fact BFFs. 🐕💖🐈

SPEEDER is someone who drives faster than the legal speed limit. The maximum speed limit on rural interstate highways is 70mph, with a 45mph minimum. On four-lane divided highways, the limit is 65mph, and on all other highways it's 55mph. If you are driving through a designated school zone, you must drop to 15mph. Now you know. Don’t let your dog tell you that again, please. 🚗🚔🚕

YouTube actually gets more searches for dogs than cats. Yet cat content gets almost four times more viral views than content featuring dogs, according to Jack Shepherd, Buzzfeed's editorial director. (Jack is a cat.) 🐕💻🐈

ALVIN Toffler is a prominent futurist and the proponent of the theory of “The Third Wave society.” In his theory, Toffler has explicitly discussed the role of knowledge and technology in effecting changes and thus shaping the coming of the new type of society in the future. Dogs and cats read Toffler and they’re adversely affected by Toffler’s “future shock” because hooman behavior has changed a lot due to overkill of computer technology. 🐈🤖🐕

SHOULD men pay for a date? Men should generally pay for the first few dates unless the woman specifically asks to do otherwise and insists on it. To not do so comes across as cheap, and you're not going to win a lot of women over being cheap. However, try not to pay via coupons on your dates. Better be, don’t argue with the manager if the restaurant doesn’t honor your outdated coupon. You dig? 🧾🏷🧾

WITH no water or food, it is unlikely that a cat would survive longer than three days. It is important to emphasize that when it comes to cat health, a cat that has had no food for as little as two days can become malnourished and unwell and may even need urgent veterinary care. So I suggest you put 15 bowls of cat foods, wet and dry + treats, in different spots in your house, 24/7–so they’ll not get hungry. 🐱🍵🦊

IS there a way to discipline a cat? Use positive reinforcement. Praising good behavior can work wonders with your cat. When you see them doing something desirable such as scratching their post instead of your furniture, or using the litter box rather than your shoe, reward them with a treat immediately. Or tell them, you’ll get them an iPhone 14 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. 🐱📱📲

GENDER Diversity refers to the extent to which a person's gender identity, role, or expression differs from the cultural norms prescribed for people of a particular sex. Now you get that. Or you may google it. 👩‍🦰🫂🧑‍🦰

JUST as humans love to be comfortable, so do dogs. Dogs love to be in places where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. They also love to be where their owners are. Dogs know that the couch and all furniture are reserved for humans and they also know that humans find those items sacred and comfortable. But they want to be there, too. Arrow is different. She owns the bedroom bed. When I move her a little so I won’t fall, she’ll growl at me. 🐕🛋🐕

CATS can understand about 25 to 35 words. This often leads people to believe that dogs are smarter than cats, which would again be wrong — wrong that is if you only base intelligence on understanding. Some people believe cats understand plenty, but choose to ignore us anyway. That’s just the way they are. Masters and mistresses of the universe. 🐱👑🐱
