Games Pets Play

What games do your pets play "with" you?  Or....what do they do to torture you on purpose?

Came downstairs this morning to find a small lake (ok...it was a puddle) near the dog food bowl.. Water dish was overturned.  Cleaned it up and didn't think more about it.

Drove Ryan to school. Came home to find a small lake (ok...it was a puddle) near the dog food bowl. Water dies was overturned. Now there are teeny tiny paw prints leading away from it.  Cleaned it up, but definitely gave it some thought.

Asked Roy to check the water dish when he got home for lunch. (ok, small side note. In addition to the fact that I didn't want standing water on the laminate floors, due to the nature of the medication Xena takes for her Addison's Disease, she needs free access to water).  Roy found the water dish overturned.

Harley wasn't quite sneaky enough this time, as Roy witnessed him slapping the bowl with his paw, stepping in the water, shaking his paw, and walking away.  Same water dish, same puddle when I got home from work.

So...is Harley trying to tell us something? He has never messed with the dish before, and actually hasn't liked the few times I have seen him get wet. Is he just messing with us?

If this continues, I'm going to have to invest in a cat fountain. I think the base is big enough to keep it from tipping. OR...it will allow an entire liter of water to hit the floor. That remains to be seen.

What games do your pets play "with" you?  Or....what do they do to torture you on purpose?  Would love to read your comments!

My cat now meows EVERY morning. Before I get up. Not a one, two, or three meow. This is a meow me out of bed meow.

I am not certain when he decided he is an alarm clock but it sure the heck is annoying.
