My current dog is a vocal sleeper. I made a language inspired by the noises he makes when he’s dreaming.

My previous dog loved to chase our cat. He’d be lying on the couch, and` she would walk up to him and start poking him with her snout to try to get him to run. He would either stay put or slowly slink away.

My first dog would make this happy grunting noise when she saw someone she knew.

    Sometimes my bunny will fall asleep with his chin on his litterbox in such a way that it makes him snore really loud. Sometimes people in my meetings can hear it.

    Great post! - My wonderfully funny cat Archie, though he’s in cat heaven now, used to love to eat popcorn 😄 To watch him eat it was the funniest thing in the world! 😁🤗👌

    This little guy (named Mop) figured out that if I pick him up and face him looking away, I will walk toward whatever direction he looks. He uses it to investigate tall stuff that he normally can’t reach. I call it mecha-piloting.

    Tucker is our 12ish year old Tabby. He gets in the bed at night and snuggles up with his back against my chest, and uses his paws to grab my arm and pull it in against his belly like his own little body-pillow. His purring always puts me right to sleep.

    My ginger cat lets me carry her monorail style over one outstretched forearm. I carry her around the yard the way a waiter carries the little white towel over his arm, while I water my plants and I tell her in detail about what seeds ive planted this year. She seems moderately interested.

    Sh also lets me carry her upside down with two hands, ass in the air, front legs dangling down, belly out, when she’s somewhere she’s not supposed to be, I pick her up, dangle-carry her to her bed, and yeet her in. She seems to think it’s funny.

    In the morning, when it’s time for breakfast, she walks down the hallway in front of me, pinballing off the walls, and hitting her head quite hard each time. She walks under the table and chairs, bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk. She does it on purpose.

    I would touch the tip of my finger to my buddy’s nose and say, “Beep.” He would give me a look. I would do it again and he would do a little lip snarl. Do it again and it would get bigger. Eventually he would “snap” at my finger. He wasn’t doing it to hurt, I barely felt it, was just his little way of saying, “I got ya.”

    He would also bark at women when they would sneeze.

    He would also play with a rock in the kiddie pool.

    Lost him to cancer 2 years ago. He was the only thing that kept me going when my wife passed in 2019.

    I’ve accidentally trained my boy cat to expect cuddles while I heat something in the microwave. Since I’m waiting, I often pick him up and stroke his head. Now I can expect to find a cat weaving around my feet and making demands when he hears me press the door release button.

    My Shiba Inu makes this sort of growly yawn sound that sounds like she’s saying, “I know!”

    She often coincidentally does this after our family or friends are talking which results in hilarity because there’s no way she truly knows wtf we’re talking about. 😂

    My dog sometimes makes some adorable little yipping/whooping noises in her sleep.

    She’s also figured out that if she paws at my wife’s lap when she’s at her desk she can spin her around to force her to give her attention.

    And when she wants to play she’ll throw a ball at you. Or when she wants to play by herself she sometimes throws things down the stairs so she can chase after them.

    She’s got a weird mischievous streak, she sometimes steals random objects off the counter, doesn’t chew or try to eat them, just kind of carries them to a random place around the house. Came home one day to a martini glass sitting on our bed, kind of impressive since her breed (malinois) isn’t exactly known for having a soft mouth.

    If you’re napping on the couch, sometimes she’ll come over and nibble on your nose gently if she wants attention.

    Sometimes when I place my hand just above his head, he does the ‘stand on two legs, paws up, I’m too cute’ stance to meet me the rest of the way.
