What odd thing has your pet done?

I used to have a cat that would sit on the bed and eat potato chips with me. We lived in an apartment on the second floor and you know how kitties like to bring you their kill? Well he would bring us steak bones and chicken nuggets from the apartment dumpster. The strangest thing he did though was to stick his head in the pool. Our apartment manager was walking by the pool area and saw him laying with his body on the side of the pool and his head under water. She thought "Oh great! He's dead and I'm going to have to tell them!" but as she approached he pulled his head out of the water, looked at her and ran off. We never did figure out what he might have been doing. I loved that cat.

My dog only comes to me... no matter who it was who called her. The kids could call her from the other end of the house, and she will get up and come to me.

3 of my beloved tropical fish died, and we buried them in the garden

My dog then decided to dig them up and eat them... so i guess they live on in him (for a short time at least!) haha

I have a russian blue that plays fetch. Honestly, you throw something like a hair tie or a straw, she will trot her fat self off and bring it back. She has also fetched a wrapped condom before. :blushing:

Cat #1 "Daisy": Will only drink water out of a circular GLASS bowl that she spins with one paw and THEN ... drinks out of it.
Cat #2 "Ruby": Will only drink water from faucets ... her favorite is the bath tub faucet.
Cat #3 "Chula": Will only drink water from the dog's water bowl (on the floor) and will only drink by putting her right paw in the water and then licking the liquid off the paw.

My dog watches all this going on and will pick up the cats by the scruff of the neck and drop them in his water dish (It's quite large because he's a boxer).

Thinking about it ... I have strange animals!!

Oh my cat "Ruby" isn't the brightest animal so when she's "lost" (read: in another room and can't find her sister "Chula" or me) she screams bloody murder until someone says "Ruby you aren't lost ... we're out here!"

My dog is a rescue and she has some separation anxiety. One night we were heading towards the back door about to go out for a while and she dropped onto her side with legs sticking up and quivered. We were panicking thinking she was having some sort of fit so we picked her up and took into our bed to check her over. She wouldn't stop quivering so I put her jacket on her and we covered her up and patted her for a while. She stopped quivering after about ten minutes but wouldn't move or lift up her head and I was about to call the emergency vet but after about half an hour she came good again. We played with her a while and she was back to normal running around and jumping so we went to leave again and she did the same quivering thing. We realised then that she was faking it and just went out anyway. She did the exact same thing for the next three days whenever we went out but we just ignored it and left then she just stopped doing it. She's pretty smart cause she had us fooled the first time.

I find it strange the things my cat finds to play with...even if we buy her cat toys she prefers bread ties milk cap rings used dryer sheets & the tiny bouncy balls u get from the quarter machines... & when she's done playing with her found treasure she "hides" it by putting it in her water bowl..every time! Or maybe its coincidence since all the playing made her thirsty n she drops it there?? I still think she's hoarding it! Lol

My cat Boodle used to work out with me. She'd watch me do a DVD and leap up in the air spread-eagled when I was doing star jumps and stretch out on the floor with me when I was doing yoga!

She also used to wake me up by lying on my chest in bed and "stroking" me under the chin with her paw.

I lost my cats in my divorce. I miss them :sad:

Our old Labrador, Sam, used to go mad for bananas - if you gave him one he'd peel it, eat the flesh and give you back the skin. Loved him to bits despite the fact he chewed everything in sight.

my cat has a drinking problem...


she refuses to drink water out of a bowl on the floor. the only way she'll drink it is if we fill up a cup AND THEN put it in the bathtub. then she'll jump into the bathtub and drink out of the cup.

Our cat is just as fussy. Will lick the bath tub after we get out of the shower. Water bowl next to his food but he has been caught drinking out of the toilet bowl after freshly flushed!! It aint the dog doing it, we keep busting him after I found cat foot prints on the bowl and seat. Keeping the lid shut now!

If I say "birdies in the window"... my dogs dashes to the window and starts looking for birds (or squirrels).

I have 2 british blues and they are insane. The girl "cleans" anything with fur or feathers, and steals anything that sparkles. The boy thinks he is a dog and plays fetch, loves water, and barks. Especially at other animal intruders. He meows when he talks to us, and sings every night from his bathtub.

Oh and neither of them drink from a bowl. Running water only, from a tap or fully loaded super soaker.

When my husky was alone in his kennel (my other dog was at the hospital) he managed to use his body weight to push the kennel to different sides of the room, use his paw to reach want he wanted, and continued to chew everything he possibly could when i was out of the house. this includes sunglasses, a belt, socks, area rug, and best of all, he managed to pull a curtain off the wall, curtain rod and all, and pull in the rod and chew on that. This dog has also pulled three linoleum tiles of the ground and chew them, has swallowed and regurgitated whole underwear, and has ruined a variety of many things in the past two years. He likes to throw up on the couch as well, instead of just throwing up on the wood floor. I provide him with chew toys, we go to the dog park and I have a yard, but I guess it's not enough for him :sad:

My other dog, a border collie mix, is very bright. If the water bowl is empty, he will bring it to me wherever I am and bring it at my feet and look at me, and demand water. Last time this happened though, I filled it up, and he barley drank out of it, and put the bowl in his mouth and flipped all the water out. I think he was being passive aggressive telling me I was wrong in the first place. :huh:

We got our cat from another couple leaving for overseas. He was 2 years old then and knew how to play soccer with his owners and their pet dogs. Had for 6 years now. He still will bat the toys/ball around with his front paws to keep it moving. If you throw a cat treat at him, he will pounce and then pick it up with just one paw and bring it to his mouth. Too lazy to bend over and eat from the floor! Never saw any of our prior pet cats do this. But this is the same charmer who drinks from the toilet bowl! Ugh. I think he's just showing up the dog.

Our female cocker spaniel takes the kids soft toys or ugg boots when alone and licks them. She is going grey from anxiety so we've been told. She also 'humps' blankets or towels if all bunched up or if she gets on the bed and you put your knees up under the blankets. She is desexed too. Didn't know female dogs did that???? She loves the pool obsesively. She goes nuts when the kids put their swimmers on or pick up a towel. You can say 'swim' and her ears lift up and she bolts out the door, runs to the pool gate and stays there crying til you let her in. Absolute water fan!

I have a cat named Addie and she is strange LOL

She will hold the string that opens and closes the blinds in her paws and lick it up and down....it's so weird



She doesn't much anymore, but she use to always be in the bathtub

She "barks" at the birds outside

She also can't stand it when I am outside and she can't see me.... I had the blinds down here and instead of going under them, she pretty much went right through them....eventually.

I think my dog (mixed autrillian cattle) can speak/understand two languages,,, wolf, wolf and people English! Everything I say, he reponds approrately. Someone told me that after 11 years, what do I expect. Can a 11 y.o dog understands at that age? I wonder

My dogs don't necessarily do odd things, but Roscoe (boxer / pittbull mix) will only eat an ice cube when you throw it in the air for him to catch it. If he doesn't catch it, he won't eat it.

Ginger (Akita / Blonde Lab mix) often looks at my husband when he is talking and she will wrinkle up her face and forehead as if to say STFU...............that is hilarious.

Our cockapoo Lilly is silly. If her water bowl is empty, she will push it with her nose all the way into the other room to show you it needs filled. Funniest of all, is she will not sit for a treat on a non-carpeted floor. When you tell her to sit, she just looks at you, but the second you walk onto the carpet, she will sit. I think she doesn't like the cold on her butt.

My dog (Shetland Sheepdog) likes to lick the floor randomly also kitchen cabinets. There is nothing there he just walks up and starts licking lol too funny.

This is hilarious. I have two male Shelties and the puppy does this ALL DAY LONG. The older one does it here and there. Funniest thing was right before I read this thread last night I was up in the kitchen and the puppy followed me. He shoved his head between the fridge and the cabinets and started licking away as nothing!

The other thing they both do is roll around on the floor on their back grunting like little piglets. Makes me laugh every time!

We also have two male shelties, Laddie and Buddie, and Buddie licks the kitchen cabinets too. He also likes to close the dishwasher for me. That's all fine and good, unless I'm not ready and haven't quite gotten my hand out of the way yet. :noway:

My pets do so many weird things, I can't possibly list them. But the one thing one of my cats does that I have never seen any other cat, dog or anything else do is he plays with his feet. He will lay on his side or back and attack his back feet with his front feet. Kind of like a human infant, only he's angry at his feet and not trying to put them in his mouth.

He's a 23-pound black cat who looks more like a small panther!

My 65lb black lab, Daisy, is as friendly as can be. But....she has a BIG SCARY bark. So, when someone comes to the door, or walks in teh hallway, she used to run up the stairs to the door barking. Well, I HATEd this so I would tell her to "go to bed" when she would start, and she would run back downstairs and lie in her doorless doggie crate. Well, yesterday, UpS came by, and daisy, oddly enough, was already upstairs, before he even rang the bell, shew as jogging downstairs, letting out little barks and growls of discontent and getting in her crate. I was in hysterics, couldn't figure out why she was doing it and then, the bell rang. Instead of teaching her not to bark, i taught her to do it from her crate. lol.

OMG! My siamese loves to play fetch. He's gotten out of the routine now that he's gotten older, though. It was so cute seeing him run around with a little ball or toy hanging out of his mouth, then trotting with it towards you. AW!

My siamese also loves bottled water, especially drinking it out of the cap. You keep having to refill it and, when he's done, he'll play with the cap. SO cute. Unfortunately, you feel like you're being mauled when you want a bottled water.*LOL*

Not really odd, but funny. My fixed female min pin loves to hump the cats kickeroo. And when she does it she gets soooo into it that she does a headstand and then falls onto her back all the while still humping!:laugh:

Not a story about my pet, but my Dad was in London as a child during the Blitz. The family cat always used to know when an air-raid was coming and would run upstairs and hide under the wardrobe minutes before the warning siren sounded!

I have a 4 year old Papillion that will lay on the floor and suck on her toy squirrel. She cradels it between her paws and kneads her paws like a cat would on a scratching post while she sucks on her squirrel. and she makes thes wierd, moaning noises when she's doing it. but she only does it when all the family is home, if one of us is out of the house, she doesnt do it until everybody gets home.

heresmyinsidevoice

My 4 year old miniature poodle likes to "comb" people's hair. If you happen to be laying on the couch, he will go up to your head and nibble your hair, then run the strands between his front teeth.

I also have a 6 year old goldfish named King. He lives alone in a 10 gallon tank and his castle. He's lived alone for most of the time because whenever he has been in the same tank with other goldfish, he attacks and kills his "friends".

That reminds me...our cockapoo Lilly has a toy zebra. She holds it the same way and licks its butt. It's the only part of the toy she licks.

TheRoadDog

We have a scratching post in our living room. Wehnever I get home or go to bed, the cat runs to it and jumps on top. Turns his back to me and tries to appear disinterested, but he really want me to come over and scratch his back.

2 nights ago, I walked right past him. Must've p*ssed him off. A few minutes later my wife walked in to the bedroom. Asks: "Did you ignore Joey?"

Me: "I guess I did. oops."

My wife: "Well he just went over to your Motorcycle Jacket and puked on it."


DOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!
