After my last knee replacement about 18 months ago Tara my cat used to escort me to the loo during the night, wait outside and then make sure I arrived back in bed safely. She did this for a few weeks then stopped- I think she thought I could now cope on my own.

My great-uncle's dog would catch the bus every day to meet my uncle as he came out of his work place.

My aunty had a dog (Bonnie) who had a friend who would 'call for' her.
The dog would stand at the front door waiting for my aunty to let Bonnie out.
The two dogs would then have a walk around the neighborhood together!

We once had a cat that was a bit too bright. To get us up in the morning he would either climb up on top of the wardrobe then launch himself on to us with positive results (for him!) or just pat the alarm clock repeatedly so it went off and on. He'd then run out of the room before we could get him. What a boy he was!

Just sat slobbing in front of the tv as wet and very windy. Watching about pets intelligence.

My question: what is the most intelligent thing your pet has ever done?

My answer: DH and dog got separated on walk. Duncan the Cairn found someone he had previously met and kept on and on nudging the chaps legs. Eventually the chap cottoned on and off they went together to find DH which they eventually did. Meanwhile the chap had phoned for an ambulance as he knew of DHs heart problem But that is another story??. Just to say a lesson was learned!
