funny pet stuff... Options

[Dantrag]

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 (which I've given to my mother now) uses its paw to pick up food from the food bowl, then drops it onto the floor and eats it from there, or eats it directly from her paw if she can hold onto it for that long.

Also she loved drinking water from the sink...

My sister's cat jumps up to doorhandles and opens doors to rooms she is not allowed to be in. So now she always has to stay outside when my sister's family aren't home...

Haha..yeah, they love to drag their food around the house. Many dogs do that, too. Usually it's the spot with the most expensive carpet. I think this is somehow linked to Murphy's law

Yeah. Most cats prefer running water. The idea is that water that is moving is usually fresh - like a river as opposed to some old murky puddle.

It's amazing what some cats can do. I once spent a vacation on a farm with my mom, with ponies and horses and rabbits etc, and all the vacation guests lived in this separate house. There was a common kitchen with one fridge everyone used. Including the farm's cat. He'd always go after the butter, the saussage, cheese and other goodies! We tried putting a frigging table in front of the fridge, to prevent him from getting it open. No such luck: next morning, the table was not in it's place anymore, and the food was eaten! The guy who ran the place acknowledged that that was something we'd just have to live with. We all thought it was pretty funny and amazing.
