John Paul Brammer, writer and widely beloved creature of obscure Mexican folklore, is currently documenting a furry home invasion. (Here's the Threadreader unroll, but as this is a developing situation, you may need to refresh it.)
That is a dream team right there.

Call animal control on the dogs. Collect the cat.

My ex-girlfriends brother has a dog who is a 100% certified dope- BUT he can undo latches escape crates and can apparently open deadbolts? Like he's smart at ONE THING and that thing is in the service of eating himself sick. He undid his crate recently and ate two whole packages of dog treats and people tortillas. I suspect these pooches and their cat enabler are also escape artists.

That is not a furry invasion. This is a furry invasion.

That is cute.
I had a rat knock on my door once. Not so cute. But it is interesting that animals get the concept of knocking on doors.
The other day, my dog wanted to go out, but I was on the phone with a guy from the internet provider and couldn't move from the computer. So he found a pin from a lawn game and started throwing it at the door. I don't know what he wanted to achieve, but he did make me tell the person to wait a sec while I opened the door for him.

I want to believe. Thanks a lot Kaycee Nicole for putting that extra bit of slight damper to every good thing on the internet. Many/most/all? of us have been in cartoonishly ridiculous situations that other people will never understand because they just weren't there and now we have cameras. But what if it was Debbie putting on a voice?
On the other hand, that cat that's settling the fuck in? I've seen that face before, that cat is nobody's puppet. And it gets right in the camera's face, almost like it has no sense of shame.

Sir? Sir! I found your soul. It was on the ground over there, slightly tarnished. Would you like it back?

I had a runaway pit bull / Lab mix decide to join me on my constitutional the other day. It was very casual about the whole thing; just started walking with me, like "oh hey, I'm going this way too" while I texted my dog expert friend for advice. But it was running into traffic and generally being a Naughty Dog, and I was concerned (as were the drivers on the road that we had traffic stopped on). Animal control asked me to take it back to my house, which was going to be a surprise for my cats, but luckily someone driving by recognized the dog and I was able to walk him back home.
His owner was totally nonchalant about the situation of their one-year-old unneutered dog wandering the neighborhood. I think I solved a question I've been pondering the past few months: "where is all this dog shit coming from and why aren't the dog's owners picking it up?"

That's a very cat thing. Sam was an orange cat who showed up on our back porch one day and moved in. Our joking theory was that he smelled the lobster we had the day before and was just waiting for us to have it again. After some years, he came down with an ear mite infestation that required having oil poured in his ears, which he did not appreciate. So he moved three houses up the street -- eventually they just took him to the vet and had the vet take care of the ear mites, which apparently was okay with Sam.
