    Allie - my cat, tries to play my ipad with me. I am trying to kill zombies, and this big furry paw comes swiping in to my rescue - or demise- but HE thinks he is helping me.

    Trixie - my chihuahua - When she gets fed up and wants to make her point, she will kick one back foot bacwards, like a chicken. If she potties in the house, when we come in, she is on the couch "bowing" - butt in the air, front feet stretched out in front, head down

    Maisy - other chihuahua- gets surprised by her own farts and will cry if she doesn't have a blanket to curl up in, and will steal my daughters stuffed animals and drag them into her quilted lair on the couch

    Sailor - the shih-tzu - he sneezes and hits his head on the floor every time. And he doesn't have the brain cells to be killing off like that

    My fish is normal, though. So is the hedgehog.

    My cat Drizzit will use the litter then take off racing thru the house making this GODS awful yowl/screech sound at the top of her lungs (i have checked her and nothing is wrong - has been doing this since I got her - 3 homes ago). She runs into the bedroom and hops on the bed, rolling around and purring her head off. If the door is closed, she will bounce off the door and race BACK thru the house making the sound 2 or 3 more times, then stroll thru like nothing ever happened.

    She also "cringe creeps" up onto your chest, giving you "sad puppy" eyes when she wants lap time and you aren't paying attention to her. It's hillarious because she's a 10lb Snowshoe and there's NO way you can miss her "creeping" into up onto your chest (not lap - no, it HAS to be chest).

    My Maine coon kneads her biscuits like crazy on my chest every night before going to sleep. She's over 14lbs!

    She also likes to plop down on my exercise mat right as I'm about to get into my workout. Like clockwork.

    Another one of her quirks: she's deathly afraid of our metal clothes rack: bringing it out, hanging clothes on it, or accidentally bumping into it puts her into a frenzy state. Not sure why?
  • My cat lays on our bath mat in front of the shower which is also in front of the toilet...he will not move for anyone!!! If he's sleeping and you have to go..he will not move for you. you have to spread you legs as far apart as possible and try to be as comfortable as you can.... :laugh: while trying to go to the bathroom and the little jerk will lay there sleeping

    He also has a tendency to pretend he is sleeping on the stairs and likes to attack my kids when the are going up or downstairs or chases them and we always know when he's doing that from my kids yelling "NO MILO!!!!"

    After I bathe the dog, he loves to run around the house like a maniac. He'll run and up and down the length of the couch, rubbing his face up against it. He does the same thing after I comb him. Apparently he doesn't like the way Mom styles his hair. He looks like a little lion after he's done.

    He loves to be held like a baby and is always with which ever one of us is sleeping, curled up as close as possible.

    He's also a little bug... He loves to steal your seat when you get up from the couch and he recently decided he loves human food, although he rarely gets any, so if you're eating he has to be right next to you. Just in case you change your mind.

    Our cat, Pras, is missing a couple of front teeth and now his tongue sticks out permanently. The cutest thing ever is when he lays on his back with his front legs stretched over his head in a "touchdown" pose with his tongue sticking out.

    Our menace cat, Bad Kitty, has been known to sniff out the hidden bag of catnip, bust open the whole thing and then destroy the house. Once he knocked down a shelf of antiques- a copper kettle and stand and a bunch of copper pots and pans- and the whole area was dusted with catnip. He has a problem. Makes me laugh though.

    My horse cracks me up because she will pick and choose who she will allow to ride her- a pro got on her and she refused to go faster than a walk. My young daughter got on her after and cantered around as happy as could be. Typical woman, lol.

    My little eskimo dog makes tunnels in the snow with her nose and spins like a top when I put something nice in her supper dish.

    I can't imagine life without any of them!

    My cat Jasper is barely 11 months old and he is already 15 pounds. He is going to be a massive cat when he reaches full adult size, yet has the most pathetic meow I've ever heard from a cat (which must mean it's very pathetic, considering that I've dealt with a LOT of cats through fostering and volunteering). Every night, he knows his place to sleep. While I'm cuddling my boyfriend, he lays on his back and I'll cuddle up under one of his arms while Jasper cuddles up under the other arm. Then, the second I decide to move and there's room between my boyfriend and I, he'll go and cuddle up in between us. Adorable and funny!

    His brother Casper winds his tail into a spiral whenever you scratch right above his tail. He's also a spaz...He can be in (what seems like) a dead sleep, then out of nowhere he will get up, make a frisky purr/meow combination sound, then run across the room and tackle something...Anything, towels, another cat, the couch...etc.

    Callie, their sister, acts like a princess, literally. She has an "I'm better than you" strut, and is obsessed with bathrooms.

    When my dog gets excited she crawls on her belly, but she keeps her one side stationary so she just ends up going in a circle. She won't stop crawling until she has completed the circle :D

    She also has what we refer to as "Wet dog, cold dog, outside dog... etc Crazies" where she will run around the house in a frenzy after finishing either a bath or a walk outside in cold weather.

    Mine does not like if things are out of place. She will bark if I leave dishes in the sink or on the counter,the broom/vacuum left out, a laundry basket on the floor in front of the washer, groceries not immediately put away. Like me, she's OCD (and we share no DNA!).

    My kitten Kismet drinks from the bathroom faucet and from glasses, can and does pull the stopper out of the sink, she can open the kitchen cabinets (the one containing the dishes has been rubber-banded shut to avoid casualties) and fetches like a dog. She also had vestibular disorder as a baby so her head tilts to one side. It doesn't slow her down but it makes her look like she's always cocking her head in curiosity.

    my 3 year old cat goes running down the hallway - jumps up and tramples across the wall for about four feet in full speed (seriously) all Matrix like. its freaking amazing. A friend was over once and saw her do it and literally fell out of his chair laughing at how cool it was......
    there is a reason her name is 'blur'.
    she is fast.... and shes a blur if you arent paying attention.

    My cat is the same! Ive seen him do some pretty amazing flips ;)

    Our 2 year old cat wakes our youngest up by hissing at him. I carry her in and sit with her on the bed. I say "what time is it Lily?" And in between groans she throws these gnarly hisses out at him. She is the sweetest cat ever. I have her trained. :)

    We have four cats and a pug, so one or another of them is usually doing something pretty awesome (or awful).

    One of the cats is about 18 years old, so we let her get away with a lot. She decided she no longer likes to drink still water and will only drink it straight from the faucet (if she doesn't get her way she will mrowr really loudly and desperately, sounding like a rusty hinge, and her eyes almost go walleyed and it's just pathetic). Well, the boy cats think this faucet drinking thing is pretty awesome, so they'll hop up on the counter and patiently sit in line behind her until she's done, and will each take their turn.

    Two of the cats like wet food, so we split a can for them every day at 5 o'clock. One of them has an internal atomic clock, and cries like crazy as 5 o'clock is approaching. That'll get the other one going (which is the 18 year old with the rusty hinge voice), and the pug as well, because he has a nightly cup or so of romaine lettuce salad... which doesn't crack ME up because I have to buy it and cut it up for him, but it cracks up everyone who hears about it. He'll be all sulky if he doesn't get it.

    My cat came into our lives on his own and after 6 weeks of trying to find the owner and obviously not finding them we decided to keep him. We found out pretty quick that he has a drug problem. He will find glue wherever there is glue. Dont leave any boxes he will suck all the tape. Anything with glue, he will find.
    And if he does, watch out! He will start an amazing show of full 360 flips and he basically becomes a flying squirrel!

    He is now in rehab ;)

    White Maltese about 6 yrs old. Every morning when I wake up he is sitting up on the floor, front paws in the air, staring at me! No joke! It creeps me out some mornings because I don't know how long he's been there.

    Our cat, Mortimer, brings us small stuffed toys when we are in bed. He makes the weirdest gutteral meows just before.

    The other, Nacho, knocks things off the dresser when he's ready for us to wake up. (annoying)

    Our cat Pebbles (RIP) used to do that as well. She would put her toy mouse in the middle of the bed during the day and we would find it in the evening. I believe it's their hunting instincts - they feel that they have to make a contribution every day to the family and that's their "catch." She also used to make a howling sound with it in her mouth.

    Have you tried offering her some lube?
  • when we're all outside with him ( me, my hubby and the kids) my shih tzu mix will pick fights with bigger dogs, barking and growling trying to get at them, but when he's outside alone and a bigger dog walks by, ....not a sound. so he's only a tough guy when he's with his "pack" lol

    My Min Pins like to borrow into blankets until they have tucked themselves in all cozy. They also run around the house like maniacs after a bath. One thinks he's a pig and oinks all the time. He also makes other bizarre noises. The other needs shoulder pads from being clueless to often, "Wha?" The best game we play is monster under the blanket where I put my hand under one of their large blankets and tickle them. They go nuts and try to attack the monster popping up under their blanket.

    I also use to have a rabbit named Oreo (RIP). Bunny Binkies are the best, especially when they get a running start at them!

    Oh yes, the pigginess! Our pug is very piggie. I'm certain it's not a coincidence that pig and pug are only one letter off.

    When my dog decides I've been asleep long enough he hops on the bed, walks across my body, and sits down on the top of my pillow right by my head and licks my hair and the inside of my ear.

    It's hilarious!

    We have dog twins!
    my cat does this ^^ like hello... time to get up humans!!!

    My cat, Emmy, will sit just outside the bathroom door while I'm washing my face in the morning and the second I move to sit down to pee, she comes in and rubs her head on my feet. She's waiting for her captive audience...

    She also likes to play fetch with little furry mousey toys

    And she will take any pen or pencil in the house and put it in the bed.

    My cat, Mopster, has learned that he can open certain doors by flopping against them. Sometimes I've heard him go at a door as many as 8 times when they won't open.
