Anyone have any "interesting" stories about their pets acting weird?

Besides the usual and rather frequent behavior of cats staring at things that are "not there" as far as we can tell at least, I've come across quite a few unexplained phenomena.

A good friend of mine was visiting a couple living in a very old house and they brought their pooch with them. Having stayed late and being offered to spend the night, my friend, his wife and their pooch accepted the offer. Waking up in the middle of the night from their pooch barking and making a ruckus, my friend walked down the corridor towards an unoccupied room to witness his pooch playing with an "invisible" friend as the ball was rolling towards the pooch... The owners of the house had no pets of their own nor have they ever witnessed anything out of the norm prior to that incident.

Some chinese people believe that all type of cats have the ability to “see spirits” and can particularly chase out the bad ones.

I've wondered that many times myself. My cat is constantly looking at things that aren't there; or at least I can't see them.

The one thing that freaks me out the most is when my cat will stare just above my shoulders as if someone is standing there behind me. At that moment the eyes light up as if there is a light source reflecting from his pupils.. Eerie.. Can't help but turn around and check behind me.

I'm a dog guy and don't know much about cats. My dogs are well-versed in the english language and watch me intently.

After my in-laws passed away, our dogs frequently looked up high..........we used to say they were looking at Grandma and Grandpa.

What about you cat guys, do they understand english?

Yes, my cat understands two languages very well. Not enough to have a full blown conversation obviously but he is very much in tune with what is being said as long as it applies to him.

Contrary to what some people believe, cats even having a much smaller brain compared to dogs, understand a lot of commands, the difference from dogs, is that cats couldn't care less about what we want, but they definitely understand their name and when we are upset about something they had done. That's what I love most about cats, they still do what they want, period.

That's awesome.

My dogs always loved when Poppy came Home from work, and now Poppy takes him to work everyday.

He doesn't know how fortunate he is being able to go to work everyday with me.................and that makes both of us.

I've owned a few very smart dogs and a few very stupid ones. I've owned a few extremely stupid cats and am blessed with one very smart cat now.
