A Favorite Activity for Jack

Jack does not get nearly as much credit for his investigative skills as Dave does, but his skills are almost as tremendous. And he doesn't put up with any guff either. Jack will swipe you right in the face if you cross him. 

One place he often pokes around is the bathroom sink. Sometimes, he might even find a Dave there.

Blending In

Jack, a much quieter cat than his colleague Dave, is also a much more passive observer than Dave. When Dave might be launching himself, rocket-like, towards an unknown subject, Jack is more likely to stay behind and watch the proceedings. 

Sometimes, he will camouflage himself. For example, you can see here that Jack is pretending to be a shoe. 

Face Off

Generally speaking, few conflicts occur inside Dave's home. This has not prevented him from remaining alert at all times, or from developing a sophisticated system of defense readiness. It also has not prevented Dave and Jack from fighting with each other from time to time. 

Below you can see Dave and Jack engaged in a struggle for supremacy of the center of the rug. 

CSI: Dave, Volume XV - What Are They Watching?

Here you can see Dave and Jack performing their best Holmes/Watson impersonation. Something suspicious lurks on the other side of the kitchen, and they are scoping out the area before making their move on it. 

Wondering about that bird outside

Dave and Jack have both been quite intrigued recently with the bird that has taken up residence in front of their home. The bird keeps saying, "Poo-tee-weet?" to the cats. They aren't quite sure what the bird is trying to say, but sometimes Dave responds with a quick, "mrauuw." And sometimes Jack responds, in a much higher tone, with a longer "maaaaaeeehhh---," trailing off at the end.

CSI: Dave, Volume XVIII

Today, Dave had a partner in his investigations of the bird outside. Action Jackson decided to join Dave. He was also perplexed by the bird, which again said to the cats, "Poo-tee-weet?"

Fighter Dave

Usually he is pretty friendly, and while he sometimes accidentally pokes someone with his claws, he rarely does so on purpose. But Dave has been on edge lately. Back during his days growing up on the mean streets of Iowa, he always had to be on guard. Even in his quiet domestic life, he has retained some of his past disposition, always ready for a fight. Here, you can see Dave is biting Jack. Dave never does any real damage, but it is just one of the realities of living with Dave. 

In Dave's defense, Jack is usually being a jerkface when Dave decides to bite him. Jack, though much smaller than Dave, can still be a pesky guy. He might have been trying to steal Dave's napping location. In that case, Dave might have been perfectly justified in biting Jack. Naps are important. 

Action Jackson

While Dave is known to spend a lot of his time investigating things around his home, Jack can also be active in this area. Sometimes he investigates invading bugs, or drafts of wind, or the blinds on the window. Other times he investigates Dave and whatever shenanigans he is pulling off at the moment. Other times still, Jack kicks Dave off of a napping spot so Jack can investigate its softness. You can see the aftermath of one such occurrence here.

When he is in this mode, Jack thinks of himself as Action Jackson.
