My late sheltie, Cody, would go crazy and bark at Motorcycles whenever one passed by.

Kody - if you go to pat her, she lowers her belly right to the ground and scuttlea around like a cockroach
Moo- absolutely terrified of one of the couches. Won't go near it for some reason
Maz- pants and won't stop for about half an hour if she thinks food is coming.
Arlie: hates black people. Is scared of them for some reason

I keep hearing about how cats are graceful and elegant creatures. This isn't quite true. Cats believe they are graceful and elegant creatures, but they're not really. They also want humans to believe they are graceful and elegant creatures at all times. Thus, whenever a cat slips, falls down, misses a jump, or trips over, it will either look at any observers with an expression of "I meant to do that" or "You saw nothing," or will run away in shame.

Before they passed away, our poodles would lie on the back of the couch like cats do. Mine does this too. He can see the whole condo from up there, so it's one of his favorite perches.

She chases things that aren't there, Normal. Not exactly normal, but not abnormal enough to truly be of note. Lots of cats do this. Cats are mimics. Everyone needs a phobia.

My late cat Buster used to suckle in his sleep. Sometimes I'd touch my finger gently to his mouth and he'd suckle on it.
My current cat Vespa, I used to call "Little Miss Tries to Meow," because she would try to meow but couldn't get the sound out, so she'd end up just sighing. She's gotten better at it though.

He loved green olives and whenever we had olive burgers from the now defunct Get-Em-and-Go or the Hot and Now, he would go crazy rubbing up against the bags. We would feed him green olives and he would sit there and meow until we gave him more. Growing up, we had a dog name Pookie. At some point, we started giving her a few of our french fries from McDonalds. Eventually, she started recognizing the bag, and would go crazy when we came in with them. So we started getting her her own small order of fries.

And how old was she when she finally died from the grease and the fat?

And how old was she when she finally died from the grease and the fat? If you were asking me that, she was 16. We didn't start giving her the fries until she was older, and really didn't give them to her all that often.

My cats both talk. Brandi only has one word - 'maow' - but he says it in all kinds of situations. Inki has a most amazing range of vocalisations, none of which seem to be particularly cat like. I don't think I have ever heard him actually meow - he makes bird like chirrups, squawks and cheeping sounds.

I had a dog that would yell at the TV. If there was a dog on TV, he'd run up to the speaker and bark aggressively at it, then give the screen the stink eye till the scene changed.

My sister's two dogs, Yukie & Shilo, do that too. That being said, my sister's one dog, Yukie, likes to sit on top of the dog house, and she's a female dog that lifts up her leg when she pees too.

Not my cats, though I have never seen cats do this in real life. It's funny and cute thought

My dog did the same thing, only it was always in response to Blue's Clues. He'd see Blue on the screen and charge her like it was time for battle.

My younger cat sits up like a person when she uses the litter box. Arm on the side of the box and everything. I had a dog that would yell at the TV. If there was a dog on TV, he'd run up to the speaker and bark aggressively at it, then give the screen the stink eye till the scene changed. My dog did something like that once when we were watching a movie. She was sleeping on the couch and some wolves howled in the movie, and she popped up and started doing little barks and growls.
