Just want to ask people about crazy stuff their pet(s) do(es).

My dog will sit in his pen and bark, so I let him out. Then he will walk right back into the pen and start barking again...This is a daily thing.

And then my snake tries to eat mice sideways...spending hours trying to eat it. And ends up leaving it on the ground.

Share your stupid/funny pet stories!

(wow i'm bored, starting this thread...)

My cat, (link in my sig) have a funny habit of needing company while eating, also he has really weird eating-times.

Normally he wants food at 2am, and 4am, combine that with his urge for human company (me) then you see the fun of it.... :eek:

All I had were little frogs that I received when we finished a school project on them oh . . . 4 years ago . . .

Until they ate each other, either that or they died and degraded overnight because all that were left was the skeletons.

One lived of course, he died later of old age.

I found this weird enough to post here. Though what exactly transpired remains a mystery to me.

:eek:

Cool cat Minque, if a bit on the weird side

My dog... (its dead now)

Well it didn't have any weird stuff about it, only that it was my steed while I was a baby, I rode on him :rofl:

Pluss that he used to bite all my toys too, but it was OK because he stept away from the action figures and LEGO. Only took those small military men :rofl:

:goodjob:

My (incredibly numerous) cats. I tend to move a lot, so I've known a lot of cats - all of them local, of course and all with their own personal quirks. One, for instance, had a great love of rinding on people's shoulders. At every single opportunity he would leap up on a person and then ride around, carefully coiled around the neck so as to sit there with a comfy viewpoint ahead from your shoulder... I'm fairly sure he was a parrot in a past life.

Another liked to paint. This was a while before I'd discovered the wonderful phenomenon of painting cats, so it got me by surprise when my cat took an unusal liking to my paints and attempting to colour the walls. Surely enough, with the provision of a blank canvas and a few art lessons, he was reinventing feline abstractionism :shocked:

My dog (a black German Shepherd/Newfounland cross) likes to come up to me while i'm sitting and sit down with his back to me. Then he throws his head back and looks at me upside-down with the silliest grin on his face...
My cat has a habit of licking me in the face when it thinks I should get up in the morning.

My cat wants me to pet him before he will eat, and well... thats about it...

Think I'll have quite a few for this one...

Something rather amusing and unusual (to me) happened today, though.
My cat doesn't always want to step back inside when we want her to. She usually justs starts rolling in the grass or hide under a tree, which is what she did today. She usually responds to smell and mention of food - especially fish, so I whispered "yummy food, fish" etc. for a bit and she immediately came out and started walking towards the door with that "hungry" look. She went into the house, past the kitchen and straight into the living room, up in a chair and went to sleep.
Hmm... :paperbag:

Ive had 2 pet snakes, several frogs, a millipede, and I currently have a Tarantula. Its a Chilean Rose tarantula which Ive had for about 6 years.

I have one snake...(I used to have two, but one recently died.)

What kind do/did you have?

A have a ball python, and my burmese python died...

My dog refuses to eat whenever anybody is watching it (you have to leave the room) and anytime I walk by it, it follows me untill I feed it a biscuit.

My sisters dog Abby will grab food from her bowl, then eat over the floor instead. Shes weird...

I've got 3 dogs (2 shih' tzus 1 dachsund(sp?)) on of the zus (Sampson) has seperation anxiety from my mom. he will whine and whine whenever she leaves the house. and the other zu (cisco) has obsessive cumpulsive disorder, he licks everything.

The original Trey (the dachshund) prefers to eat wherever we are. So he will grab 4 or 5 bits of dry food from his dish, move to the center of the room between us, drop the bits, eat them one at a time, then repeat. He also prefers to sleep covered up- has to have a towel in his bed to burrow under.

When we were taking one of my cats to the vet, she constantly meowed in her crate. Then, my bird, a cockatile, decided she wanted to meow, which she did succesfully. Also, my bird has picked up the telephone sound and does a surprisingly good impression. Since we allways "pay attention" to the phone, she starts ringing like crazy when she wants to be taken out of her cage etc. Also, my kitten has a habit of knocking food out of her dish and batting it under the refridgerator.

Wow, that was one smart bird! I've always admired "smart" animals. Except cats and dogs, they are just to... common.

I'm afraid I don't have much of a story of my own, I already mentioned the long list pets I've had over my lifespan so I'm not mentioning it again . Anyway, my current pets (which are actually my brothers, not mine) are two guinnea-pigs, both male, and well the funny thing is that as they reached a certain age (about 8 month) the bigger of the two started trying to hump the other one . We felt very bad for the smaller one and also they did this annoying noice and smelled awfull , so eventually we had to buy a new cage to get those horny rats away from eachother. Well, that's the end of the story. Oh, and everyone lived happily ever after!

My dog likes to run up to a pile of clothes that just came out of the dryer and roll all over them, covering them in black labrador hair. Also, when we have a birthday and we sing, she goes berzerk to the song because she absolutely loves icing, she will jump and bark and scratch as soon as she hears the song...

Also I've noticed many of you find it wierd when a dog takes their food and eats it elsewhere besides the bowl, I believe that is simply old instincts from wolves... they often take a chunk of meat from a carcass and find a place to eat.. just a suspicion. My dog sometimes does that...
