funny pet videos.

We've got a secret. We're not prepared to share it with you just quite yet, but we're sitting on something really juicy here. There's this cat... in this bag... and the cat is actually in the bag. And he just kind of sits there, quietly rustling around before giving off the ol' stinkeye. And then, before you know it -- wait for it -- the cat's out of the bag! Ta-da! We waited until the end of the post to use the default joke. Are you proud of us? ...

We know that there are cat people and there are dog people. There are pros and cons to owning either animal. One thing almost any cat person would admit is that their favorite pet is not as keen on performing tricks as their canine counterparts. Yet there are exceptions to every rule.

Moreover, the first time around, we were as thrilled as crazy dog people like us can get at the sight of a corgi -- such a cute breed -- doing a full-on belly flop! Well, Cooper is back, and he's still in his adorable doggie floatie device. (What are you trying to do to us, make us choke on our own excitement?) This time at Thetis Lake in Victoria, British Columbia, Cooper takes another plunge into the water. And once again. we're all watching in delight. More Cute Videos ...

Of what do cats dream? A stranger to the free-roaming fauna of the alien outdoors, my indoor cat, Martha, probably dreams of her favorite activity: playing fetch with her toy rattle-mice, blissfully unaware of the livelier, meatier, and more delicious variety found teeming out in fields, or at least in more squalid dwellings than ours. Even those felines that spend their lives in whole or in part prowling the grasses, barns, and streets of the world must spend their catnaps replaying past mousehunt glories. Take this house cat, for example, so rapt with its visions of the thrill of the chase that it fails to notice itself hanging off its precarious perch, fails to notice when its dream ...

Want to know what is going on in this funny video? Think back to what you know of Greek mythology and then let Kevin the Yorkshire terrier explain the rest. Kevin says, "It's the story of Sisyphus who was, like, this dead Greek guy, right?
