Strange things which happen in your house...

... whenever I go pee, the dog rushes in. Is she checking to make sure I'm doing it right? Not dribbling on the seat? Making sure I'm wiping correctly? Even worse and more disconcerting, is she checking me out? I ponder these things. (And no, I won't close the door; in my home, I partake in pee freedom).

So, what strange things happen in your house?

(These can, of course, be non-urination related.)

    Does she smell your butt?
  • After I pee, and I flush, my cat Party Boy comes running in and stands on the edge of the seat, watching the water swirl around. He looks up at me, as if to say, "do it again". I look at him and actually say "you're nuts".

    Oh, and I stand on 1 foot when I brush my teeth. Can't help it. I've always had my left foot up when I brush. Nuts, right? Whatevs, its who I am. :P
  • My fiance's cat follows him into the bathroom, but I think it's because he used to put her wet food on the bathroom counter....

    You'd think, but no -- she tears *kitten* in, stares a bit, turns around and leaves.

    Relating to weird dogs ... when I run the shower and leave the bathroom to get something, my dog ALWAYS jumps in. Scares the s#%$ out of me when I get back. This dog also gets next to me on the couch, props himself against the back, and sits up and stares at me or the TV. He's in no way a smart pooch, but he definitely wants to hang.
  • My cat jumps into the tub with this look like "please turn it on."

    She likes water that comes from that sort of thing. Or after a shower, she's desperate to get in there. Once I let her in and tricked her by filling the tub with water. She of course, did not like this one bit.

    My bedroom is half underground, so the windows are at ground level. Almost EVERY morning when I change, a groundhog peeks his head around the corner and just stares at me. Once I finish he turns away and walks past.

    Also to the OP, I always pee with the door open when I'm home alone haha

    My puppy does this....but she tries to chew on my panties. I think she is bisexual....and an inbreed. I am her mommy after all.

    Ok I'm sorry but I'm adding to the pee topic. My cat also runs in when I am in the bathroom and has to brush against my leg. Why then!?

    Another strange thing going on in our house (and also pee related, lol) is that we're about to start toilet training our cats! It sounds crazy I know, but I HATE scopping litter and I hate buying it as well. I found this kit online for only $25 bucks, so if it doesn't work, no big loss. I keep giggling everytime I picture my kitties sitting on the toilet someday.

    My kid fills the toilet up with rolls of toilet paper without me even realizing she's been in the bathroom! Yeah I have one of THOSE kids lol, but bless her heart I love her :)

    I once went in the bathroom and found my cat sitting on the tolite peeing,I would have been impressed but the lid was down

    A plethora of bizarre animals, we've got.

    This is so amazingly, wonderfully weird. I've now got vivid images of peeping tom whistle pigs in my head.

    My dog thinks bath water is 10 x more tasty than what is in her bowl. So on the rare occasion that I have time to relax in the bathtub, my dear sweet fur kid tries to drink as much water as possible. She also will lick my legs when I get out of the shower.

    Those kits work wonders if you stick to it. Just be more stubborn than your cat. lol

    My cat loves to drink from the downstairs toilet, but he is always thirsty when I really have to pee. He sees me coming, jumps up there and takes his sweet time. Adn if you try to shoo him out of the bathroom he just cries at you.
  • More of what I hope to GOD is my cat. My girlfriend has a 5 rack book shelf. She has these little plush toy dinosaurs at the very top rack. Meaning, I'm 5'9 and they're at eye level while standing up very straight. Nearly every morning, these toy dinosaurs are on the floor by our flip flops (where Jessica, my cat, routinely relaxes.)

    Besides the fact that there's no place for her to jump FROM to the shelf--I know cats are limber and can get up in high places. She has no leverage to get there. She's not jumping that high from the ground these days either, trust me. Beyond ALLLLL of that, there are a bunch of small knick knacks on that shelf that she should basically be taking with her if she's knocking down these toy dinosaurs.

    They're never disturbed at all. Nothing is amiss. And I hear everything at night....

    Not pet or pee related...

    I live a few miles from a large quarry, and they blast from time to time. So, at unpredictable intervals I will feel my house BOOOM then SHAKE. It was very disconcerting before I figured out what it was. lol

    Another animal one. I have a little 5 lb maltese/chihuahua. We have high kitchen chairs so when sitting my feet don't touch the floor. He takes this opportunity to rest his danglies on my foot, this means his whole back end is off the floor. Strange dog, guess they get heavy?

    I've got three young boys... so every day is strange in my house. For instance, the other day, I overheard my 2 oldest (6 and 4) debating how many times they should "shake it" after they pee. Apparently the 6-year old thinks the 4-year old "shakes" it too much... Then they ask me for my input, so I told them the rule of thumb I had heard: "any more than 3 shakes and you're playing with it".

    My son argues with his sister in his sleep and my daughter sings in hers....I have what I like to calll sleeping tourette's ...occasionally ...you'll hear me cussing someone out (and I mean cussing!), the kids have recorded me because I didn't believe them (I have no recollection of this, and I don't normally swear)...this explains why I would wake up to find my ex cowering in the corner of the bedroom some nights....lol (joking....kinda)

    My cat sleeps on my head and strangely enough I am okay with this... When she isn't there I can't fall asleep as well. She is my fur ball security blanket. She also takes to kneeding me with her paws in the middle of the night... I am her mama after all.

    I also, inject cat conversation into regular people conversations... They look at me like "Crazy cat lady... Where's your shopping cart and bag that you push around."

    You must be related to my hubster. He talks in his sleep, most notably the time was the time he angrily started yelling, "Piece of *kitten*. You piece of *kitten*!" He also does a zombie groan thing and occasionally clotheslines me in the breasticles. *sigh*

    Ha. That goes on in my house, too. Though I'm the abusive sleeper. rofl
    I've been told that I punch and kick, sometimes in the face, mostly toward more sensitive areas :noway:

    I thought our cat was the only one who did this. Lol. Munchkin loves to watch the swirling waters. She's a rather "special" kitty though. (She was born with a few birth defects and doesn't act or look quite like the other kitties.)

    One of our other cats, Zen, lays in the dining room when we eat dinner. He doesn't beg for food; he wants his light show. The way the lighting is in the room makes some of the silverware cause reflections on the ceiling. He loves watching the reflections move around and can get quite animated and very chirpy.

    Ugh, my husband is like this. He has head butted me a few times and once popped me in the face, all in his sleep. When my hair was longer I would wake up to him lying on my hair and I couldn't move my head. It's a weird feeling when you wake up like that in the middle of the night.
