My cats often do that before laying down, it usually follows the pain they inflect on me while doing the kneading thing with their paws on my lap, lol ouch!
Now, I want to ask a dog/ resp. dog owners: why do some dogs walk body slightly slantwise to the forward motion? Like this: / in comparison to going this way: ↑…
Odie’s actually smart here. If he was facing the other direction, he would’ve gotten kicked in the face. Instead of that, he got kicked in the butt, which is less painful.

In short, they learn nothing.

I always heard it was because their ancestors had to flatten down the grass under them before lying down.

Haha this is relatable. My dog goes nuts on couch sometimes before finally laying down . My cat however doesn’t kick him off .

Always thought it was leftover from laying down the grass to sleep on.

My dog turns around several times, not before lying down, but before doing something else….

They’re a watchdog and they’re winding themselves up.

They are making their bed before laying down. Parents had an Norwiegen Elkhound, he would paw at the rug until it was bunched up then lay down.

“SO MUCH FOR THAT THEORY”

But mostly in this case, it’s an excuse for Garfield’s time-honored tradition of kicking Odie off the table.

If Jim Davis were to make Odie die, (which, I doubt he will), his grave shall say: “Here lies proof that dogs are dumb.”

I think I heard something about dogs lining up to magnetic north when they lie down like that

Odie is domesticated, not a “wild” animal.

Garfield put Odie out of the house because he gave him the boot.
