Why does my dog eat the cat puke?

[kick-ass-bob]

:puke:


I live in a really strange house.

[kmla]

1. Ewwwwww....

Why did you have to tell us that?

Gross.

:spank:

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Because it isn't a proper meal

without an aperitif.



:evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

3. .

:rofl:

[Richardo]

4. Dave Barry said it best...

(paraphrase)

A dog will eat anything he finds on the floor, his reasoning being: if it turns out not to be food, he can always throw it up later.

[Ksec]

5. Because its tasty

Why else would anyone eat vomit silly?

[Parrcrow]

6. pushing to the side my burrito,

because there's no such thing as dognip.

[mikeytherat]

7. Dunno. Have you tried it?

[kick-ass-bob]

8. I've smelled it.

That was enough for me.

[johnnie]

9. Because it tastes better than dog puke

Trust me... I know.

[kick-ass-bob]

12. you know, the dog has never eaten the dog puke.

:think:

[johnnie]

16. That's because

Cat puke has the hairballs, dog puke doesn't. The hairball gives it that little bit of "zing" that makes it so much better on the palate.

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Because

it's a dog. Add some fresh cow manure to the diet. :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

11. In evolutionary terms

it's probably to eradicate biological scents that would attract predators to the "den"..In modern terms..it's to irritate the hell out of YOU! :)

[madinmaryland]

13. This isn't going to degenerate into a Linda Tripp hot dog thread

is it? One is enough for today.

21-puke salute!


:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Shell Beau]

14. The same reason why my dog eats her own puke only

to puke it up again only to eat it again, and so on and so on!! :puke: It is really sick!

[kick-ass-bob]

15. What's so good about a hairball?

yeeaacchhh!

[Loonman]

17. It has that nice consistency dogs love

Salty, too.

[Kali]

18. well, if it was at my house, it would be because the cat had gotten

into the dog food and since that always makes her sick she pukes it up - then the dog comes along and senses hhhhhmmmmm dog food - with "gravy" yay.

there is a reason they are called DOGS.

[hfojvt]

20. considering how bad the stuff I feed them smells

I yell at my dog for eating sh*t and she looks at me like, "this is the same stuff you give me every day, what's the big deal?" Funny thing is, I know their sense of smell is better than mine. Why then do they think it is so cool to smell urine and feces? Isn't it logical that with a more powerful sense of smell that those would smell even worse?

Also, here are a couple nominees for your signature line

American democracy now faces its greatest menace since Joseph McCarthy, not from foreign terrorists or invaders but from cynical extremists occupying the White House. Ted Rall

We might have the fewest vacation days and the worst retirement system in the world, but we had a voice in determining our future. Ted Rall

emphasis on HAD in the last quote.

[Kali]

21. sort of like that myth that cats are clean animals - ha!

and congratulations (or something) - I have had that as my sig for at least a year - or whenever it was I figured out how to do them finally and you are the first to offer a suggestion! Thanks - I would probably rather put up a Rall cartoon but I think they have to be so small - he is a fave that's for sure.

19. Here's one for you from my strange house. Let me set the stage:

location: my kitchen
actors: me, my honey, my daugher (5 yrs old at the time), Bo the dog


Action: My honey lets one smelly fart rip. My daughter, whose nose is at the same level as her dad's butt, walks right through the stence. She starts retching & says she's going to throw up.
Being the kind, caring parents that we are, we start to laugh. Bo the dog sits & watches. Daughter says again she's going to throw up. Then she does. Pukes right on the kitchen floor. Bo, gets up & calmly walks over to the pile of puke. And he eats it.


He cleaned it up real good & I didn't even have to mop. Good dog.

[latebloomer]

22. LOL!! What excellent housekeepers dogs are!

My friend's dog used to very obligingly clean the cat litter box for her. She called the delicacies he found there "fudge".

[Tari]

23. Ah, yes. We also have cats & our dog likes fudge. There are these

cookies that we sometimes get from well-meaning people around this time of year that resemble the fudge cookies from the litter box. Chocolate rolled in small nuts &/or powdered sugar.

I can not eat them.

[liontamer]

24. because you don't feed him/her cat food and now s/he is seizing the chance

[PassingFair]

25. A change of pace from eating his own poo? ...nt

[Maine-ah]

26. yep, we have two dogs and they'll eat their own, the cat's

they also like to eat what we call "kitty chocolates" and in the winter they'll eat their own "poopcicles".
