Is your pet clumsy?

Mine is!!! My feline friend decided to pretend he was a Parkour Expert, taking a full speed running jump off of my bed only to run face first into the dresser!!:huh: He's fine, but now he uses caution when trying to jump on the dresser.

Anyone else with a clumsy pet?

    My cat has a tendency to run into walls head first. Might explain why he's so "special."

    My dog isn't clumsy. His issue is that he is scared of EVERYTHING. It's annoying sometimes.

    Brain damage...maybe?

    One of our cats runs and jumps up on the table in the living room so fast, he often slides off, trying to hold on. My wife and I just shake our heads, laugh, and call him, "Dumba$$."

    Sometimes our dog jumps straight up into the air really high, loses her balance mid-air and does crazy body twisting contortions, and then busts her butt on the floor.

    She also gets a running start to jump onto the bed, jumps too low, and slams face first into the side of it.

    Our cat recently fell into the toilet.

    It's free entertainment I suppose.

    I have an English bulldog so yes...very. Makes me feel better about my own clumsiness actually.

    The house I grew up in had a door you could close on the stairs and there was a low railing with a sheer drop at the top in the hallway.

    We had a cat that liked to sleep right on the edge at the highest point of that sheer drop.

    One day, I was sitting on the couch and heard a loud noise. I looked up to see that my cat had apparently rolled over in her sleep and fallen off the ledge. This same cat, as a kitten, would often run very fast through the house and slam her head into doorways. lol

    And, no, she wasn't hurt. She lived to an injury-free 15 years.

    My crazy dog tripped me during a run together...my knees were so badly bruised/scraped that I could hardly walk for about 4 days :S

    When we moved into our new house, the cat tried to jump into the closed window (he was fine). He also got lost behind the shower curtain recently and I had to let him out. And last night he somersaulted into a corner between the wall and a bookshelf while playing and was stuck on his head with his legs up in the air for a bit while we laughed.

    My cat is special.

    Well, I have two ferrets. They are pretty much the epitome of clumsy animals :laugh:

    It's amusing to watch them climb things, consider how to jump/climb where they want to be (when they clearly can't make it), then attempt to jump anyways and fall to the floor in all their bottom-heaviness. Definetly not the most gracefull of pets.

    God, they're adorable :love:

    My Chiweenie tends to trip up the stairs if he gets to excited. And sometimes when he is doing "beg", he'll fall over. Hahaha. He's a special boy.

    My kitten gets so excited when she hears me putting food in her dish that she races from wherever she is and half the time she jumps up onto the counter (she gets fed on the bathroom counter because the dog eats it otherwise) and is going so fast that she skids across and bangs into the wall and slides off... hits the toilet and yesterday she ended up wet.

    I trip over my dog all the time. He likes to park it behind me when I'm cooking.

    Lily has no sense of personal space. I wouldn't say she's clumsy, exactly, but she's huge and has to be right up against my leg or in my lap. It makes ME look clumsy when I'm with her, having to make sure not to hurt her (as if I could! She's HUGE!).

    I have 2 dogs, pitbull chocolate lab mix and chihuahua ****zu mix. I had got a new patio table and my boys(my dogs) were running and my little guy jumped on the bench then to the table and my big guy bumped into the table and my little one slide off the table landing on his left leg and it pushed into his pelvis. Broke his leg and shaddered his pelvis. I couldn't afford to pay the 6g's to get him fixed up so i had to surrender him. We called the human society so much to keep checing on him that they found sponsers to donate for his surgeries. Then they let us foster him because technically once you surrender an animal you cant adopt again. My big dog los 10 pounds in the 2 weeks we didnt have the other dog because he was so depressed. He actually didnt see out little dog for an additional week because I didnt want him to get too excited. When he did see him, Mojo,out little guy had to stay in a small kennel to prevent him from moving but Bundles my big guy layed next to it always. Now a year later those to buys are acting all crazy again. Clumsy, wild and bad...but Happy!

    That's awesome!

    I have one of those long, thin cardboard scratching posts in the hallway next to my kitchen and my youngest cat (I think she does it on purpose) will run across the living room and kitchen to jump on it and slide across the floor.

    I run with my dog and sometimes, when she's off leash, she gets really excited for 30 seconds at a time and starts "dancing" and running in circles and once she realizes how far away from me she's run, she runs back to me at full speed and usually plows into me and almost knocks me over. She's about 30 pounds.

    I have a Boston terrier named Andy that is dumber than a box of rocks. He's going blind now, but even before then he would run into the door of his crate on a daily basis, runs into the house when he's coming in from a potty break, and bumps into the furniture.

    She was graceful until we made her an inside cat now she's chunking on the weight, and she's become a clumsy jumper. Poor kitty.

    My cat sometimes misses the windowsill, gets a little lower, her claws hang in the spaces of the radiator and we have to immediatelly get her out of there or she just hangs there pulling her claws. :cry:

    But most times she just misses her jumps, then starts walking away like she never wanted to jump on that surface. Then she is cutely clumsy.

    During one winter our cat mistakenly thought we wanted him to jump up on to the wood stove. Poor kitty couldn't walk for a week and then stayed clear of it for the rest of his life.

    My bird would constantly fly into the same window, fall and walk around dazed for about 10 seconds but was fine.

    Sometimes my dog runs so fast downhill it looks like her butt is in front of her.
