Weekly thread for casual chat and photos of pets

We adopted another husky, Willow, about a month ago and both our girls act like they've been together since they were born. Willow had a tough time at the shelter before the rescue pulled her, but you would never know it now! Willow & Sylvie

So I've got this cat who takes the canonical Tumblr meme, "How To Tell Your Cat That You Could Walk To His Food Faster If He Weren't Weaving Under Your Fucking Feet In A Beautiful And Intricate Idiot's Ballet", to the next level. Dash makes Miette seem like an amateur.

The adorable moron tries to wrap himself around my ankles while I'm walking or descending stairs. He'll fall over and try to sack out on my feet while I'm in motion. He'll claim my chair seat as I'm sitting down. He'll excitedly run in front of me when I'm on the way to feed him, so he can stop suddenly and take a relaxing stretch... a drastic speed bump at 15 pounds of cat.

Neither of us have sustained serious injury yet, but I would love ideas on how to gently discourage this behavior. He's really rather clever about some things (opening doors, recognizing his name and coming when called, heeling when walking on a leash, etc.), and very human-attached (shoulder- and lap-sitter) for a cat. What would be more rewarding for Dash than rubbing himself on every accessible limb of his unsteady bipedal companion at the worst possible times?
