I was about to head out when my cat Scout ran across the room, dragged his butt across the carpet and left a streak mark.
Not only that but he also left a turd on the floor at the end of the streak mark.
My mutt Ace did not waste any time to run over and try to eat the fresh dropping.
We do not call Ace The Turd Burglar for nothing. He reacted so quickly to the situation that I pictured him wearing a mask and cape with the letters “TB” on the back. “Don’t worry, The Turd Burglar is here!”
This is the same dog that spends about an hour a day on average licking himself down there simply because he can.
And Scout? He probably spends two hours per day doing the same thing.
I love my dog and cats, and this reminded me not to humanize them. They are very much animals.

Sounds all too familiar. Try having three of them all trying to be the first to eat the Cat poo. Absolutely gross but they love it.

Deep down (or maybe not so deep) I think humans are profoundly jealous of their pets. And with good reason.

I see my cats lie around on the couch for literally the entire day, and I can’t help but be jealous. They believe the couch is theirs.

Oh my that was funny! Yeah, I catch Gus with his head in the cat box trying to take advantage of the buffet. Awesome.

We have one of those covered litter boxes, and one time I caught Ace in action and startled him. He ended up getting the top half of the box stuck around his neck!
I can imagine Gus can collect a nice amount of kitty litter on his lips with all that drool.

I have a picture of my cat in almost that exact same pose!

Haha! My cat sits like this all the time!

Yeah, we have a covered box too but it won’t stop Super Turd Burglar. He gets his nose and jowls covered and it is nowhere near delightful. Ugh.

Haha! I believe it!

It really is pretty easy to anthropormorphize pets. I know that we do it with our cats. They always do something to remind us of their “animal” status though! A good reminder.

I know, it’s so true, isn’t it?

Our dogs used to sneak “cat fudge” all the time. Actually, with the litter it was probably more like “cat roca”!
One thing my husband and I catch ourselves doing is cleaning lint or dust off a dog toy or chew before giving it to Biggie. Then we look at each other and say, “he eats sticks.” (so why are we bothering with a little dust?)

Haha! That is so funny!
