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.

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

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!"

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

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.

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

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:

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 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

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 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!

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:

Fabulous visual! LMAO

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.

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.
