Pet Foolery

I know that we have had threads on pets before but I just had to share this one.
A couple of months ago our cat (name of Deez which was once my handle on this site) became obsessed with biting his tail one night to the point of yowling. We examined his tail and could'nt see anything wrong but the yowls persisted. We dropped him off at the vets the next day. The verdict? Absolutely nothing wrong with him.
Fast forward to now. I have been spending alot of time at home these days and I have observed an odd habit from my little deez. Every day at almost exactly 4:15 pm Deez will climb the armchair opposite me, perch on the top of the back of the chair and then proceed to catch and bite is tail until the yowling starts. So I chase him around yelling "DEEZ STOP BITING YOUR TAIL!". He seems to know what I am saying because he stops with the tail and continues with his foot. This lasts for about 15 minutes.
Among other things what I really dont get is the punctuality. /:)

My dog, on the other hand, was thrilled to see me whenever I came home from work, from the store, up from the basement, back from the bathroom, out of bed in the morning, back from the kitchen with a snack. No matter where I was and for how long, she always greeted me with "Oh my god! Its you, you're back, I'm so happy, rub my ears, I love you so much, rub my belly, I missed you so much!!"
They also know the sounds of our particular cars.
I do have too much time on my hands though. I live in a remote area and I don't drive (used to live in Boston where public transportation was abundant). We are moving within the next couple of months. I am studying at home though. My SO and I are both pursuing a degree.
A few days later, I came home and found the fishbowl on the floor again, the goldfish flopping around. Then I realized that Chester was waiting until my car pulled into the driveway to knock over the fishbowl.
The third time, Chester's timing was a little off, and the fish were flushed to the great fishbowl in the sky.

We still have two of the five - a fluffy orange woosie-cat named Horace, and a siamese-calico mix named Talitha - both are 12 years old. Horace has learned to open the doors in our apartment by jumping up and grabbing onto the lever-style doorknobs. We have to lock them out of the bedroom at night in order to get any sleep! (It's worse than having kids at home!)
On the plus side, Horace has always been extraordinarily polite - he always knocks on the door of the bedroom before he tries to let himself in. Yes, he KNOCKS on the door - he doesn't just paw at it. We still don't know exactly how he does it, but we always laugh about Horace and his "cat knuckles".
The dog never went in the bathroom under her own power, she associated that room with getting a b-a-t-h.
Naw, really, I just love the movie. Saw it and got my little boy kitty before I became obsessed with Benicio. Although it IS quite a conincidence.
