I am a dog and cat person. For some reason, that seems to be a rare thing.

I love my puppies and their unconditional love and joy of life, but I also love cat personalities…their sauciness and independence and supposed indifference to anything but themselves. I love how they purr and stretch and give you sandpaper kisses, despite themselves…then bite you and run away.

Cats keep you on your toes!

If it weren't for a promise I made to our allergy doctor years ago not to replace my aging Siamese, Char, when she passed away, I know I'd have several cats lounging in patches of sunlight in my house, shedding on and shredding the sides of my couch, and leaving hairballs on my new comforter. 

So this video my friend Hilary at The Smitten Image sent me literally made me double up in laughter…something I haven't done in a long time!

Of course I had to share it with you, because laughter is the best medicine, and I care about you! Whether you love cats or hate them, grab a kleenex and prepare for a good teary-eyed breath-gasping belly-laugh…

You're welcome. (Thanks again, Hilary!)

    Barbara, this is absolutely hilarious!
    I used to be a dog person only. That is until Miss Kitty came to visit, and never left.
    She definitely has the cat personality, and I love it!
    Have a great weekend, and thank you for sharing this here.

    I’m glad you liked it, too! I realize there are ‘nice’ cats out there, and I mean them no offense. But I’ll be the first to admit my Char could be a real, um, witch.

    I was never a animal person at all untill I got stuck with my son’s kitten. Now I look forward to being entertained every evening by MY cat, which my son will never be able to take back

    hmm…do you read my FB posts? I posted that video on January 10. There are two other videos on my page that you should watch. One is a baby rockin’ to Bon Jovi and the other is a golden retriever. Love you!

    I confess I haven't had much time to scroll on Facebook the past few months. If something doesn't show up in my feed in the few minutes I have, or someone doesn't tag me or post it on my wall, I don't see it.  I'm not surprised you've already seen this one! I'm always behind the times! Love you, too!

    That's the way cats work! They're so sneaky and smart.

    LOL, from the perspective of this video neither cat nor dog seems very appealing, but we LOVE them both anyway! We have two dogs and four cats, but interestingly our dogs are more aloof then our cats. But they all love us as much as we love them and bring us so much happiness.

    good clip find. The ending is a little gross but dogs can be gross. My brother, very big dog guy has a cat now. Him having and enjoying a cat really shocked me. I must say sometimes his cat acts like a dog.

    Is it a Siamese? They tend to be more dog-like, while retaining all of the cat traits shown in the video.

    I think this made me laugh so much because our puppy Belle is so, so, so exuberant, and the one and only cat I owned was a one-person cat for sure, and loved walking on anything I was reading. She would actually just try to curl up on it. Ah, I miss her.
