FFXIV & Pets

Right well, a minute ago I was watching the Taru Love & Joy video on youtube when my pet jack russel jumped onto my lap and sat there staring at the blue taru on the front-right of the video for the whole duration of the video, then as soon as it stopped he went back to lazing around on my bed.

Earlier this week I also noticed that he and my King Charles Cavalier would also stand on the couch in view of the T.V and watch me playing FFXIV. I figured they watched that because I play a miqo'te, so it'd be the whole 'dog sees cat' thing :p

So, has anyone else had a humorous or curious moment where your pet has taken interest in what you're doing on FFXIV or other FF games? If so, let us know what you were doing and what kind of pet it was ^.^

not sure if it counts but sometimes when im playing the cat lays on my keyboard n gets people killed.

does that count?

Anything counts if it's pet related and has something to do with the game.

By chance were the people that were dieing playing miqo'te? Cats tend to get jealous sometimes :p

lol nah, although there was 1 or 2 in the party

One of my cats is very smart when it comes to TV and computers. She has watched and tapped my monitor when things move and looks behind it to see where they are. When I played FFXI she would attack my Wyvern.

My dog used to pester he hell out of me to go play with her whenever she noticed I grabbed the controller; she knew I would be glued to my computer for a while.

Now I moved and I miss the hell out of her.

This title is so misleading... just saying lol.

At first I thought this was going to be a topic about pet-classes O.o

My cat hates ffxiv. When I'm playing, I hold my controller in my lap, and that's where she likes to lay.

When I play my dog lays on the ground staring at the screen (I'm a taru) and the other really has no intrest.

I did reaise that as I was typing the OP but then realised I couldn't really put it in any other way XD

My cats have never been interested in what is happening on my monitor. They just want some petting.
When they were little they both managed to fit on my lap perfectly but
now if both of them try to fit on my lap it makes my gaming hard because
either one of them will move my right hand and thus making me click something I didn't want to target.

When I was living at my friends place his dog used to jump onto my lap whilst I was sitting on the couch playing games. It wouldn't have been so bad but it was a BIG dog that weighed a tonne and he'd always manage to lay ontop of my hands whilst I was holding a control pad so I couldn't move my hands from underneath him, then he'd start licking my face with no means for me to stop him. Only way to get him off was to slowly lean forward to try and use my chest to push him off my legs. Crashed a few too many cars on Forza 3 because of that dog XD

My rabbit tries to bite the controller and climb on top of the keyboard lol

Lol that actually reminds me my friend has a house-trained rabbit, it's about as big as a cat too! He was playing his Xbox online one day then suddenly it disconnected, he couldn't work out what happened at first till he discovered the rabbit had chewed it's way through the ethernet cable XD

Haha yeah my rabbit chewed my mouse and headphone wires when I first got it.

I took a bio break one night while running Guildleves. When I came back, I found my cat on the keyboard, a Guildleve started, my character running in the wrong direction, and a big orange Maine Coon staring at me like, "Whatcha gonna do, huh?"

Did you then shout "L2P!" at the cat? XD

I know when it's time to go outside when my Jack Russel throws his stuffed fish toy at my head or starts gnawing his rock hard nylabone on my toes. >.<

I woke up this morning to find my king charles cavalier rolling around on my bed and trying to crawl under the bed covers. when I eventually got out of bed I turned on the computer and loaded up the forums, at which point he lowered his head in dissapointment and walked out of the room.

It's pretty bad when even your dog realises you're a forum addict...

No, but my partner turned around from the ever present Oblivion game on his screen and said, "He seemed like he knew what he was doing..."

LOL XD

If you'd left him alone he may have ranked up a DoL class for you, maybe he was in the mood for some fishing ;)

Well here's another one that just happened. Just had a power cut so decided to give the jack russel some fuss since he was sulking on my bedroom floor, so he was sitting on my lap whilst the computer rebooted.

When my computer boots up a chibi SoS Brigade deskmates loads up in the corner of my screen that sit around playing orthello and watching a computer (they also wander around the screen if I let them) and he took great interest in them being there.

As soon as I switched the deskmates off though he just lay on the bed and continued to sulk. Aww ^.^
