Slow news day?

They prefer skiing...

And hang gliding...

Cats already know how to surf. It explains the prevalence of kitty porn.

/Yes, low hanging fruit.

That's not surfing, it's boogie boarding.

I've seen dogs body surfing at the beach. They paddle out and wait for the waves to carry them back to shore. And yes, they do look back to see when a wave is coming.

i don't normally do this but i'll make an exception...

"Dogs who fear or dislike either are almost impossible to train to surf, so you won't find those dogs at these types of competitions."

i feel stupider for reading this, really, brain cells died. the whole article was an exercise in poorly written stupidity. and to make matters worse the department of redundancy department got involved.

fark you have failed me and the community with this greenlighted piece of dog poop.

As long as you don't teach it to sing.

Fido don't surf!

Studies have been done, yes. Dogs tend to be rheotaxic to the point where they enjoy many kinds of supermotion, which is why so many of them love riding in the car. To them, apparently, it's like they're flying!

This is part of why dogs like running around, jumping, etc, so much. It's not just to please humans. Dogs are wired that way.

So a dog that seems to like surfing probably does like surfing. Some dogs like skateboarding. Some dogs really, really like skydiving. There are other animals with similar tendencies, including otters, crows, and dolphins. Not to mention humans, by and large.

Cats are very strict about control issues. Cats generally don't like riding in the car because they don't trust your driving. If you could let Toonces drive, different story, maybe, although a cat would want an instinctive interface.

Naturally, there are individual cats and dogs that are exceptions to these generalizations.

Delay: Growing up, our family dog surfed. It seemed pretty much an instinct to her.

I would have liked to have been around during that period when humans and dogs co-evolved. There must have been some good times.

It's ongoing. Evolution didn't just stop once it produced you thankfully.

Cats don't generally like riding in the car because they associate it with going to the vet or other unpleasant experiences. Most people don't take their cats with them when running errands or on road trips.
