To think watching my pets antics have been a great source of entertainment this lockdown?!

I have a cat and tortoise and both of them are mad.
This morning the cat attacked the printer after staring in facination as it spewed out paper.
Tortoise is more or less free range and has spent many a happy hour shagging my dumbells!
Last summer tortoise spent ages chasing cat round garden.
Please share your pet antics to cheer us all up.

My cat completely avoids DH until it's time for his Zoom lectures. Then, DCat is all OVER him. Up on the desk, purring, rubbing up against him, knocking his coffee over. Every single time! We've started locking him out (cat, not DH Grin) but he yowls outside the door!

I love the idea of the tortoise chasing the cat! I haven't got pets anymore but I used to love watching my guinea pigs out in the run, I could sit there for ages, better than a lot of things on TVGrin

We have one feisty older female cat who is hilarious after she's had catnip, we bought them a new little tunnel scratchy post thing recently and she loves to lie underneath it and pounce when she thinks you can't see her; and then there's the little boy cat, about a year old now, who just LOVES water. He loves to put his paw over the pipe if I'm emptying the water butt, but most of all, he loves to have a nice shower under the big bush in the garden when it's been raining, and then come hurtling in demanding to be dried and brushed before he'll eat breakfast. This is more effective than any alarm clock at 5.30am....

My teenagers put on youtube videos of birds/fish/mice for our cat to watch. It's very entertaining to watch him crash into the screen while trying to catch them or searching behind the laptop to find where the mouse ran off to. This was the excuse for why the algebra homework was not done yesterday.

Yes I live alone so would be totally lost without my two cats! One constantly bombs my zoom calls, they both constantly knock my work mobile off the table (but not my personal one), shred work papers (but not personal ones). And walk across the keyboard typing into documents (one typo that didn't show up on spellchecker and that I couldn't find on a document for my boss was caused by my cat but when my boss pointed it out I couldn't really say 'my cat typed that' 😂).
They also sit totally unconcerned on my hand while it's on the mouse (pc mouse, but wonder if they knew that's what it's called as they are so fond of it!). I had a work email open on my phone once and a cat sat on my phone and deleted it with her bum!!
Such bad office mates but so entertaining 🤣

Our girl cat likes to come in cold in the middle of the night and warm her paws up by lying on my DHs head and placing her paws over his face
