TOP5 PETS HAS MOVED
Dreadful sorry about the intrusive Tripod ads. We have pulled up stakes and moved to an ad-free environment*.Join us in our new space by closing the panel on the left then clicking this link:
If the unwanted sidebar window on the left opens up along with it, you can get rid of the offending portion by clicking the "x" in its upper right-hand corner. Click on the actual window on the left, not on the explanatory graphic below.
* Ok, there are a few small ads at the bottom of the main page, BUT Top5 Pets directly benefits from them. We keep them unobtrusive.

The Top 10 Things Cats Do When No One is Watching
10> Report back to the Home Planet that the invasion plans are
proceeding as scheduled and that operation BAD DOG should
commence shortly.
9> Pick their noses, just like everyone else.
8> Carefully monitor all traffic patterns between bedroom and
bathroom. Determine strategically perfect location for
hairball. Wait until 3am.
7> Work on their translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
6> Practice leaping from the ottoman to the bookshelf so it
looks graceful and natural when they do it for an "audience."
5> Clean all of their non-embarrassing body parts.
4> Check that the pin-hole in the water bed is still oozing
slowly.
3> Quickly rub the top of the paw in some dirt, so they have an
excuse to spend another half-hour licking it clean.
2> Transfer dog droppings from the yard to the living room
carpet.
and the Number 1 Thing Cats Do When No One is Watching...
1> Strut and pose in front of a full-length mirror wearing a
dog collar and leash.
