OT: When our pets do funny/weird things.

[daveblackeye15]

My mom's chocolate labador does some pretty stupit things. One day my brother got home from work and he found her sleeping on the couch..with her head in a large ceral box, when he yelled "MAGGIE!" she got up and tried to jump on him but because she couldn't see, she kept crashing into things, until my brother pulled the box off her head.

Another time my brother was helping me study for a math test. We were studying in the living room , which has two ways to enter but only one has a actual closing door. So our black chow-Austrialian sheppard Jessie strolls in and starts bugging us. When we ignored her she started parking at us. When she tried to climb on the couch she didn't jump high enough and she got stuck on the armrest and had to kick a little to get back up(that was kinda funny but it gets better) . When she was on the couch she kept barking at us. Then she moved over to the footrest and contiued barking there, but she took a step back and fell off the footrest. When she got up she gerouded (misspelled, in other words she went "GRRRR!") and barked and even bit the footrest for about a hour. Me and my brother thought it was funny as hell.

When my family first got the dog we have now, Snuff (named for a stuffed animal my grandmother gave me when I was little), she ate all the twigs and leaves in our yard.  My mom came home one day from work and Snuff was sitting on the sidewalk.  Mom says "Hi Snuff" and the dog barfs up all the sticks and twigs she ate at mom's feet.
The dog has also caused more damage than we paid for her, I think.  She's destroyed two garden hoses, tore some of the framework off a ground-level window pane, chewed the straps off my dad's coveralls, ingested countless pairs of leather work gloves, and she digs holes all over the place (which don't really cost anything but they're big enough to sink a tractor tire into so they get kind of annoying).

I use to have a Golden Retriever that use to say: "Momma."

One dog I had, Bridget (part standard poodle, part springer spaniel, flighty as all hell).  one time didn't recognize me when I came home.  she was in the middle of our big backyard, she kept barking and backing up, barking and backing up, barking and ooops, backed right into the pool.

We have three cats: Kearah- a siamese, Mini-me- a maine coon and Sarena- a tabby who we just found out is a boy. And we have a Pomeranian named Chico.
They are always doing funny things as well as annoying things. We are always finding regurgitated hair balls and things. Usually off the side of the bed with our bare feet..ugh! We have a glass coffee table and we took the glass out of the wooden frame to clean it. Kearah thought she was jumping up on the table and was surprised when she didnt land on glass..just fell trough. We laughed our asses off.
Another day Mini-me was playing with Chico and he went running by with Mini-me on his back (She was a kitten then) like a bronco rider. Of course by the time we got the camera the two had gone their seperate ways. Its never a dull moment around here.

I had a cat who ate cigarettes when I used to smoke. She never cared for catnip oddly enough, but put a malboro near her....

I had a cat name Wdget that when I would come home would "attack" my ankles because he wanted to play fetch with his favorite toy.  He would give me "love bites". (Sometimes those bites did hurt) I would throw his toy and he would actually keep bringing it back until he got tired of it.  I tried it with some of his other toys he wouldn't even bother going for it.  And he used to love sour cream and onion chips, wouldn't touch any other flavor chip.

I had a cat once that ate twinkies.  I gave him one once and he ate the whole damn thing.  We told the vet and the vet didn't believe us.  He said a cat would never eat anything like a twinkie.  But God as my witness it did!

We had a German Shepherd named "Samantha" for about 3 years before we got "Reicher"- another German Shepherd- as my dad's new police dog.  

The first thing Sammy did when she saw Reicher come in the house was run into the kitchen, grab her dog dish, and hide it under MY bed.  That's not the funny story, though.

After about a week of watching Reicher and the things he did, Sammy went out into the backyard (when she thought nobody was looking) and proceeded to lift her leg in an attempt to pee like a boy dog.   When her leg got to about 2 inches off the ground, she fell over.

My grey male cat I used to have named Ash (hence my screen name) loved to chase the little red dot from my laser pointer all over the place.  If you raised the dot up to the wall he'd literally jump up to almost 5-6 feet to get it.

One time I was playing with the pointer & I started the dot on the floor on the left side of the room and then quickly zipped it to the other side...right by the stairwell.
The cat was running so furiously after it that he went right past it & tumbled down the stairs making that ba boom boom ba boom ba boom sound!

I was like "Oh s**t!"  
I looked down the stairs & he was just sitting there on one of the steps with his eyes bugged out & he was shaking!  
He only went about 3/4 of the way down.  
I never laughed so hard in my life!
I went down to pick him up saying, "It's ok buddy. I'm sorry" and he bit me on the hand!

FYI    If you have a dog & you WANT a funny thing to happen, just put some peanut butter on the roof of the inside of its mouth.

Trust me- it's like 30 minutes of sheer laughter.


No I'm not an animal abuser and I DO love dogs.

My roomate's fat tabby cat has a habit of putting a small plastic bag over his head (such as a Tower Records CD bag) and strutting around the apartrment. The first time I saw him do this I got concerned that he was going to suffocate, but he is very much at ease (many cats would flip out and panic) and enjoys this weirdness. He walks quickly but carefully around, feeling his way, and follows your voice to come to you. He'll feel his way to your lap and hop in, and the more you laugh, it just seems to encourage him to more zaniness. I once had to take him off the living room speakers that he scaled, bag on head. One of the funniest things is watching him get into the bag; he sticks his head in, and then will find something to push against so he can adjust the bag exactly to his liking. He actually seeks out these bags (and he only chooses ones where his vision is almost completely or totally obscured-apparently that's half the fun of it) pulling them out of the garbage and stashing them in hiding places around the house. If there's a crowd over, he'll pull one out and do his little trick. This wackiness has been going on since around 1998, even before we were roomates. It's kind of like watching one of those blind samurai "Zatoichi" films. My cat just stares at him like he's insane.

BigDaddy (one of my cockatiels) can whistle "Dreidel"

I've done it, and the thing is, the dogs will sit there wanting more.
