Do your pets still act like youngsters?

My one cat will start looking and walking sidesways when she wants to play with her sister. She has been doing this since she was a kitten. It is pretty funny. When the other cat plays she will sometimes stomp her foot as if she is going to run one way but goes the other way. Really is funny to watch. The one cat that likes to start the playing will start screaming bloody murder when she gets tackled. I'ved learned to ignore it since she started it. Right now one of the cats is yelling and trying to play with the other one.

So how about you? What do your pets do that remind you of when they were babies?

My cat routinely attackes me, just like he did the day I got him. Every day he does many many things to make me wonder why I sill have him. Every once in a while he will do something to make me remember and make me feel bad about wondering.

His nickname is the "World's most hateful cat"

Both of my dogs are rescued so I don't know what they were like when they were puppies. But my little one will run and tackle the big lab and she'll grab his tail on bite on it. When the big one wants to play he'll get down on his front paws and bark or he'll pick up one of the toys and shake his head with it. We really enjoy watching them play chase in the back yard. The little one will chase the big lab and never catch him. Then we she gets tired she'll just drop down in the yard and rest while the lab is still running around.

My oldest dog is still as hyper as a senior as she was as a pup. She has two playmates who are 2 and three too keep her running.

I had 17 year old cat that passed a few moths back. He definitely acted old .Poor baby. I still miss him

Our dog and two cats are all over 8 years old and still act like babies. The two cats will begin to attack each other and run up and down the hallway, then the dog will start chasing to join in the fun. It is like a playground in here sometimes!

I don't have any animals less than 6 years old,some12 years old. Every once in a while someone will go tearing through the house at light speed. Someone needs to tell my hound he isn't young. He races Jack Russels around the bark park and then come home for a lonnnnnnnnng nap.. We call him Grandpa Puppy.

And I must have the equivalent of the dog relative to your cat.

My 'little black bitch', I call her, is a demon. Neurotic demon. All I have to say to her is "give Oreo a kiss" and she growls! (oreo is my little white boy - a rescue dog) She has been a turd since she was a puppy. I got her young but she had already gone to one household and been returned after two weeks - but this 'supposedly' wasn't for bad behavior. I think part of the problem is that they must have teased her a BUNCH during that two weeks. (the gal was only 21 and had never had a puppy - part of why she got returned)

My youngest dog, Patches, still acts like a puppy. He will give you the most cute puppy dog eyes he can muster. And he has to be on someone's lap if you are sitting in the comfy chair. He also loves to play and snuggle in a blankie.

My oldest 18 still plays like a kitten, we just hung her " disco ball" ornament on the tree. When the light hits it, thousands of little white dots cover the room. She tries catching everyone of them. The others are still pretty young and run & chase each other around the house.

my youngest cat baxter is only 5 but he still 'sucks' on my neck and the blanket around my neck at night...the blanket gets all soggy and his whickers on my face drive me nuts but i don't have the heart to throw him off..... during the day he runs at breakneck speed throughout the entire house back and forth until he exhausts himself...harley my other baby just sits and stares at him as dh and i do wondering why he is so goofy.....harley is only 1 month older but likes to act 'super-mature' when anyone is watching him.....
