Fact: The one rhetorical question most frequently asked of the animals in our house is easily "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR ONLY MIND?"

This is actually better than "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR [EXPLETIVE] MIND?" for obvious reasons.

Case in point:

Kisa was stalking a lizard on the screen. Stalking it through the window, no less. And then tried to pounce the lizard through a pane of hurricane-tempered glass. She jumped at the closed window, promptly bounced off, landed on my inbox (knocking a number of things over), and then leapt from my inbox to the back of my chair as if to distance herself from the scene of the idiocy as quickly as possible. Cue the dogs who snap to attention the absolute second I say Kisa's name in a certain tone of voice, and we have INSTANT CHAOS centered around my desk chair (which I am sat in at the time), with Kisa meowing plaintively above it all like, "What'd I do?"

So, yes. Just in case anyone happened to be wondering? Kisa's still the dumb one.

And I suddenly miss Bronte. A lot. :(

EDIT: And I just ran over SOMETHING of Sydney's with my chair. AUGH. She seems to be okay, despite the yelp she just let out, and despite the CLUMP OF FUR now on the floor. D:

A common refrain around my place too. Case in point: if a human says "meow," all three of my danes will run to the front window barking like killer attack dogs, complete with raised fur. Mind you, this is even if you give them the "watch me" command before hand and they are standing no more than a foot away staring at your face when you do it. However, if a real cat decides to wander across the patios meowing it's head off, they ignore it completely. Go figure.

Clearly our dogs are very, uh... special.
