Why do pitbulls lay with their legs like Superman?
That's the only way I can describe it. Every pitbull I have seen, even full grown adult pitbulls lay with their back legs straight back or kind of fanned out. Why?
Why do cocker spaniels lay down w/ there hind legs extended out?
My dog is a Spitz mix (mutt) and he does this. I've never seen other dogs do it either, but I guess he's comfortable like that.

My cat always rest at my feet, why is that?
Your cat likes you. :-)Here’s my cat Sulu, who also likes to lie at my feet.Your cat enjoys your company. She (I’ll use the female pronoun, since I don’t know your cat’s gender) feels safe and relaxed when you’re around, so she likes to hang out close to you.Lying near your feet gives her the chance to be close to you without getting intense physical contact. (Some cats like intense physical contact, so they sit on the lap and ask to be petted constantly. Your cat is a bit more reserved, but obviously happy in your company, so lying at your feet is perfect for her.)When she did it the first couple of times, you probably showed pleasure, so she learned that this was the right thing to do to please both you and herself.Also, it gives her the chance to walk away at any time. Cats like that independence. :-)
Why does my cat rub her face on my feet?
Scent and territory marking are the popular explanations, but a less obvious one comes from the fundamental way cats interact with humans.Unlike dogs, cats do not hunt in a pack. They are social, but not for the stalk. (There are exceptions, like lions). They have a sense of territory, but not necessarily a sense of hierarchy the way humans and dogs do. They don't go in a pack, flush out prey, and corner them. Cats get a sense for the territory and observe their prey's behavior. They then stalk and ambush, they do not coordinate with other cats, so do not establish dominance in order to lead a group. Dogs (usually) see their human owners as the pack leader, but cats don't. So why would cats put up with being domesticated by humans?A kitten is practically helpless until about 8 weeks old. When newborn, they cannot even lick themselves clean after eliminating waste. They depend completely upon their mothers for survival. Not being pack animals, the kittens are not raised by the pack, but rather, a solitary mother.If you've ever watched kittens with their mother, you will see many behaviors that transfer over to a human caretaker. A kitten is generally not tall enough to get her mother's visual attention. So she rubs the mother's legs. Sometimes the kitten will reach up, as if to climb the mother's legs, trying to reach milk. The mother responds, knowing the kittens are hungry. The mother will lie down, let the kittens nurse. She will nose the kittens and check her kittens by licking them. (This licking is why domesticated cats often like being petted). Kittens will knead their mother's fur to stimulate milk production. The mother usually starts ignoring the kitten's demands for milk when the kittens' teeth get sharp enough to hurt. By that time, she's teaching the kittens how to stalk and how to hunt.A cat might be friendly or wants some affection if she is rubbing against your legs, but if she rises on her hind legs as if to try to climb up your pants, she's probably hungry.So one fun thing to try: imagine yourself as the mother cat. When your cat rubs against your legs, ask, what does this kitten want? When you pet your cat, imagine your hand as a mother cat licking the kitten. It's much like, as adults, you are nostalgic for the hugs your parents give you and feeding you at the family dining room table. You start seeing interesting things when you stop projecting human behavior and motivations onto cats.
