Ya just got to believe someone took a cat on a ride on the “Vomit Comet” back in the early, fast and loose NASA days. There has to be film of that (pre video days).

The description on another post about the cat climbing on your head and getting a death grip is a spot on account from someone who did it first hand. And, yes, getting the cat out after the landing was “interesting” to say the least.

Interestingly not all cats want belly scratches, exposing the belly is a sign of either submission(to a new dominate) or a signal that I have no fear of you and my surroundings. (ie you are a master predictor and will protect me)

BTW nice pic

Not my pic, but yes - even a person who hated cats as much as me (but would never dream of harming them, of course), was subdued by a kitten...who later became a cat, but was still a sweetheart. There are some things that logic cannot transcend - and a kitten looking at you is one of them.

Sorry, but this article is just so much gobbledegook.

My rescue chihuahua Spazz absolutely LOVES to go out to the car, get in, and then he stands on the seat vibrating. He will NOT look outside, he will NOT move unless I move him.

He hears the carkeys, and I can’t get him to leave me alone.

My other dog Zippy gets in the car, jumps up on the parcel shelf, and goes to sleep. He’ll occasionally go to the window and give me “the look” to open the thing, but for the most part he’s perfectly happy just being with me.

I think that dogs just love to be with us (G_d knows why) and they are happiest there, just like Spazz. (He’s an idiot, BTW), but I can’t help but love him.

Yes, this is an old thread, but I had to comment on the inaccurate assessment of this “doctor”.
