Doggie in the Window
When I lived in Reid, our yard was more like a jungle, and we had two storeys, so we could go days without seeing Harry. But now we're in a plain old house, and the windows are often at Harry eye-level. He sits opposite the kitchen window and stares at you while you're cooking dinner. You bitch, he says as he raises his doggy eyebrows, how dare you cook all those gourmet delights while I sit out here starving? He has very dark eyes and a steely gaze. I've tried staring contests with him but he always wins.
The low windows also mean that when one is trying to go the toilet, he sits on the grass outside the window basically staring you down. More than once I've heard Emily or her boyfriend shouting "Stop it! Just stop it!" and then run screaming from the room. But he just stays there with his piercing eyes. Sometimes he even wags his tail a little. It's most unsettling.

Sam does that, sometimes. She bursts open into the toilet and watches. Sometimes she'll ask, "you finish poo?" or "you finish pee?".
At least our toilet doesn't have windows. It could do with a skylight though.
I think Harry is still pissed off about the headlock I put him in.
You got three emails from people who are pissed off at you? That's three more than I usually get _ at all_. Unless you count my good friends who want me to take advantage of free credit, porn and Rush Limbaugh.
I love animals. Pets, anyway. Our cats used to throw themselves against the toilet door and it would open (dodgy lstch), then they'd run in and out and try to sit on your lap and / or play with your toes while you were... um, busy.
When I'm sitting on the toilet, my cat Tigger tries to bite my knees.
my cat used to get in thru the bathroom window and then try and have showers/baths with me. but of course she'd cry if she actually got wet. and then she'd just stare at you with utter fascination as you washed yourself. stupid cat.
My cat likes to climb up on the toilet seat with you, or if you're of the male persuasion, she tries to jump in the stream. It's most disgusting. But she does like to take showers with me. Weird cat, liking water.
I had a cat once, tasted like chicken......no my cat used to growl at me like a dog when we ate dinner, oh and the bad thing was the toilet was his domain.
My cats growled too! Mostly when it was late at night and I was all alone in the house. They'd wake up with a start and growl, staring in mid-distance. And I'd be like "WHAT? WHAT? WHERE?". Very disconcerting.
Of course they'd sleep right through all the bumps and rattles that *I* heard...
I think it was their idea of a joke.
