My current dog is a vocal sleeper. I made a language inspired by the noises he makes when he’s dreaming.
My previous dog loved to chase our cat. He’d be lying on the couch, and` she would walk up to him and start poking him with her snout to try to get him to run. He would either stay put or slowly slink away.
My first dog would make this happy grunting noise when she saw someone she knew.
My cat pretends like he doesn’t like to get picked up or held. I know he’s pretending because I caught him trying to avoid being picked up, but practically jumped into me when I decided to listen to him and stop picking him up
My cat accepts being picked up for about 10 seconds or so to get a good look around before protesting. If my wife comes over while he’s up and starts petting/grooming him, she has about the same 10 seconds before he puts his paw up to say “Enough of that.”
