Pet Peeves, Solving Pet Problems
My name is Chairman Meow (aka Kitty). I live in a dog-eat-dog world, but I rule my household with an iron claw. Let me introduce you to the cast of characters.
Number One Rule Offender: Dutchy, (aka Stinky). He looks innocent, but he’s devious behind those ole’ blue eyes. He can get in more trouble in a couple of minutes…just saying.
Number Two Dog: Lucille (aka Lucy-Goosy). She came into the household, over my strong objections, when the son called Mom up and asked if she wanted a starved to death, three-legged pit bull. She said, “Hell no!” but look who takes up the best space on the bed. She’s the jealous type, and wants all of the attention in the room…
Number Three Dog: Maggie (aka Cash). When the family went on vacation, son number one’s girlfriend thought it’d be a good idea to “gift” us with a puppy. We went to Florida to spend time on the sugar sand beaches and when we came back we discovered the puppy that was in a box at the local Kroger. It’d been a week since her owner (aka the woman who’d give puppies away at the Kroger, shame, shame) had been last seen, so Maggie joined the household about seven years ago.
So folks, this is what I have to put up with every day in our household. But, I still reign supreme.

Wow… and here I was thinking my cat was a cross breed of cat, dog, and demon! Haha! Tucker is nearly 2 years old, one of those big, furry, orange cats. Cute as he can be, with big amber eyes and multi-colored whiskers. But he’s the devil! Not only does he scratch (without front claws though) on the closet doors at 6am, he chews/bites! The carpet if he’s locked in/out of a room. Chews on corners of tables, chairs, me! Cries and cries to get my attention (because he’s a spoiled momma’s boy!) He basically gallops through the apartment, and I live on the third floor… bet my neighbors love me at 2am when he gets a jolt of energy.
So in a nutshell: I understand because my cat is BAD! I’m glad I found your blog; it reminds me that I’m not alone!
Tucker sounds like a cat who KNOWS how to enjoy life!. Did you read the post Cat-Atrosphe by Raymond L. Atkins? His cats are named Britch and Vermin. Sounds like Tucker’s furniture chewing cousins!
Biggest peeve – their complete inability to make my coffee on the weekends
I have a husband for that – my dogs make me laugh!
Interesting site
What can I say dogs rule cat’s drool?! Haha My two dachshunds would definatly think so. The only thing they do to annoy me is the hair. Ugh.I.hate.dog.hair. But then I also dislike hairless dogs. So its pretty much a lose-lose situation. Grins. Oh and the huge puddles of water left after my lab/golden takes a drink from the water bowl.
Other behaviors such as chewing,barking,digging,jumping, licking etc..etc.. I make sure to direct the annoyance at myself since I have been to lazy to train them better.
) Funny what a little training and good excersise will do your thoughts about your dogs. 
I don’t do much to annoy my Mama. However, I know that sometimes she stops me from licking my foot in the middle of the night. I sleep in the bed with her and Daddy. Right in between and sometimes I lick myself just a little bit to get to sleep. Daddy starts snoring right away and I can see Mama with her eyes open watching me lick myself. She sometimes takes my foot out of my mouth and says no in a soft whisper. I don’t listen to whispers so I just keep licking. She makes a big sigh and evenutally one of us goes to sleep. I don’t know which one of us.
But can I complain a little! Mama and Daddy both snore Really loudly. Not just loud breathing but loud enough for my human brothers to hear in the other room. How am I supposed to sleep with that noise. When they wake me up. I start licking again. He, he!
Your pal,
Opie
Opie – a night owl after my own heart. I HAVE to wake the parents up at least 2-3 times a night just to remind them that I need assistance with my self-feeder. I make them get out of bed and trundle into the kitchen, just to woosh my food. Got to keep them on their toes.
Kitty
I’ll take all my pets, even the fallen ones, all at the same time, over the teenagers, any day. They are well trained, we have worked on their issues and I enjoy sharing tips on problem solving after years of experience. It seems there are a lot of potential readers here that I could help, but I won’t be so forward as to invite them to my site. Good luck learning to love your pets as unconditionally as they love you.
I totally agree with you about teenagers – I have 7 boys – and I’ve never had the police or the firetrucks come because of something my dogs did…… Did you read my post about my 16 year old and his snakes? That one is called, “Why I have Grey Hair.” You might enjoy it!
Well, Morgan has this habit of barking at anything that goes past our house. I could really live without that. The Greyhounds, of course, are perfect!
At least, that’s what they tell me!
Two things – Toby’s new habit of waking me up at 4 a.m. to go out and then begging for at least something little to eat, and all the holes he has chewed in every single fleece blanket I own.
My girl, Lucille, is chewing up our deck like it’s a huge chew toy that we built just for her. It’s so frustrating – but she’s so loveable every other time, it’s forgiven! Thanks for sharing about Toby – we could communicate at that time of the a.m. – because my 17-year-old cat gets me up every night at that time to “woosh” the food in his self-feeder…..
Yes – we have a barker in the group (Maggie). She’s the protector of our universe – and usually she’s barking out towards the woods in the middle of the night — makes me wonder what’s out there? Bears, coyotes,…..or BIG FOOT? (Hey, I live in the south where two of the last Bit Foot sitings were.)
Woofs and Woos!!! Thanks for visiting our bloggie today!
Thanks so much for popping by my blog! And for your nice words about my Sibes! I don’t have any pet peeves about the FiveSibes…but I will say they are pretty entertaining!
Stop by again sometime soon!
With five Siberians in the house you’ve GOT to be buried in fluffy hair balls right about now. We have only one and it’s in piles. But, I think Siberians are wonderful, wonderful dogs. Thanks for your comment!
I think the worst thing that goes on here is Daisy taking waaaayy too much time to go to the bathroom. Bella goes out, squats, and its done. Other than that, they are pretty good!
Probably the most annoying are the cats, yowling and playing in the middle of the night. Then they get hungry, so they crunch their food LOUDLY, then they go to the sand box, dig to China in said sand box, pee LOUDLY, then scratch all the sand back LOUDLY and endlessly. The dogs, perfect angels, most of the time…….
Oh, did I mention the cats also run across the bed, while they are playing, in the middle of the night? 
Hi Cherie! Thanks for stopping by Critter Alley. Today Bogey hacked up a few hairballs on the carpet. Why does he never do this on linoleum?
I call my cat Chairman Meow- he’s our home’s little dictator! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog.
Cavaliers are lap dogs – they need to be by you at all times. Biggest pet peeve? They make me feel guilty when I get up to say go to the kitchen because they will wake up just to follow me.
I hate it when Rumpy manages to get out of his harness at the LEAST opportune time.
We have a cat that thinks he’s supreme ruler too!
Aw Kitty, you are very tolerant! You do have three super cute housemates though!
Hi Y’all,
Just hopped by to meet y’all, catch up on your happenings and say hello!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Great to hear from you today Hawk. Glad you stopped by on the blog hop. Hope the weather’s treating you well today. We just took Maggie down to the lake. She loves the woods and the water and we don’t take enough time to take here there. I was really glad that we did. Because now it’s clouding up and looking rainy – again. But I cannot complain. At least in Georgia it’s rain and now snow like up north where I’m originally from.
Seize the day with your human, Hawk!
Good work holding down the fort with your iron claw. We are working on the husband to hopefully get an iron claw of our own!
Chairman Meow (aka Kitty) has been working on his dominance in the household for eighteen years. Read more about his antics in the post called “Zombified.” He’s like a little furry tyrant.
Hi Y’all,
Just hopped by to catch up on your happenings and say hello! Have a great weekend!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Lucille looks so proud of herself in that photo – cute.
