Ours likes to scratch her side while standing up. She has excellent balance.

If anyone other then DH stirs his food, he won’t eat it. DD or I can pour it out, add his extras and meds but if we stir it, he won’t eat it. So DH has to the one to stir it up and put it down.

I'm loving these stories too! Could the posters add what breed they have? I love picturing these cute stories.

He doesn't like adults on wheeled toys (scooters in particular, but also skateboards and rollerblades). He barks and growls when he sees them.
He loves to chase rainbows from the prisms in our window and will do so for hours...and when they aren't there, he will look for them for even more hours.
He has FOMO. Even when totally content on the sofa in a sunspot next to his favorite person, he must see if a cold dark spot on a different chair is better before returning to the sunny spot. Every single time.

I thought of a few more:
If he feels attention is not being paid to him appropriately, he will drag one of his toys into the room and play with it enthusiastically. If that doesn't do the trick, he will keep bringing toys in one at a time and play like a puppy. If necessary, he will also chase his tail. He only does these things when he feels all attention is not on him.
He likes to think he is the ruler of the house, but if the cat so much as looks at him with a side eye, he comes running to the nearest human and buries his face into our leg.
He does not like to go outside in the rain or cold and if given a choice, will hold it for hours. If there is snow on the ground, he will hold his poop unless a path is cleared to a nearby bush. Snow never sticks under that bush, so he has bare ground to poop on.
He hates getting his feet wet and will mince around on the garden border wall while looking at us plaintively.

He is a pug-minpin mix.
