My goldendoodle puppy doesn't ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle "go get your sister" as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say "go get your sister" the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.

Not quite a command, but I seem to have confused my oldest cat so that he thinks "excuse me" is a threat. He'll be blocking a doorway, and if I say "excuse me" as I try to pass, he hisses and possibly swats, but if I just silently try to squeeze past, we're all good. Currently working to undo that one.

I had a cat that would run away if you said, "what do you think you're doing, sir?"

Most of the time he was actually getting himself into trouble. His fave thing was stealing slices of pizza, taking them to my room, eating all the cheese, then leaving the soggy, saucy crust right in the doorway. I stepped on it every goddamn time. Idek how he stole the pizza to begin with!

Hahaha! If time isn't linear, it's quite possible that I am your cat reincarnated or vice versa.

If we’re talking parallel universes I too may be his cat

Maybe we're all his cat because we're all just one consciousness differently experiencing itself countless times.

Advaita Vedanta with cat as Brahman. I could get behind this as a worldview.
