Weird or strange things that your pet does ...

[Silverlady]

I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. As a young kid, I grew up in a house with a 3 legged dog (the dog had gotten hit by a car and a front leg was mangled beyond repair) It was either have the dog destroyed or live with a 3 legged dog. My parents chose the 3 legged dog.  I also remember my parents having another dog that loved white bread - would steal it right off the table if he could and chow down!  I also had a golden retriever, Max, about 10 years ago- who used to howl but it sounded as if  he was yodeling!

For 13 years I had a cat named Dexter (he died Feb 2009) who loved to chew on things - weird things.  He loved to gnaw on the bathtub faucet, molding on my entertainment cabinet, and a ceramic statue of a cat that I have in my living room - especially the ears on the thing!  Right now, I just have one cat, Dixie, who loves shoes!  She will rub her face all over any shoes that are around.  She'll stick her face in them and sometimes actually drool over them? Disgusting.

Any of you have pets with weird habits?

Does getting up the nice leather couch count?

My cat likes to jump on the rug in the kitchen, and go sliding across the tile floor on it and crash into his water bowl.
He also likes to hide and wait for me to walk by, then pounce and attack my leg.

My cat likes to sleep with his arms stretched out straight in front of him, like Superman flying.

My 16 year old Kookoohed died in April 2009; a couple of times she decided that any certain someone's shoe was the perfect place to make pee...  Once in awhile she peed down the drain of the tub.   

Though I did not want to replace that cat (impossible) I have adopted another cat, that I've been calling Chubby and he's proven very good company.  Large at 6 months, this cat is being raised here in the midst of two old dogs, a beagle and jack russell terrier (both 11 years).  Kitty thinks he's one of them, tries to sleep between them in their bed, plays fetch the way the beagle would, wants to eat dog food, and attacks both dogs like one cat would another cat (Chubby's lucky the terrier is old with loose teeth!!)  The dogs do not care for kitty, but put up with him.  He also likes to gnaw on sticks the way puppies do (he picks them out of the kindling pile by the fireplace).

Last week my pet bearded dragon tried to mate with my 15 year old daughter's shoe.  It was pretty hilarious.  Amorous lizards are funny!

My older cat makes a groan like Marge Simpson when he's irritated.  We calling it "margeing."

We use to own a cat named Spot who would walk on her hind legs like she was a human. Sadly we lost her due to the tainted pet food incident a few years ago.
Currently we own a long haired black catnamed Midnight who will use the digits on his paws like fingers when he trys to pick stuff. He even trys to make a fist and shake it at people. Granted we know when he's mad at someone because he will walk up next to them, fart, then walk away. I swear there is not much worse than the smell of cat farts. We have two more cats but they only do the usual cat stuff of tearing stuff up and slinking around.
We also have an indoor rabbit named Luna who rules the house pets. She will bully the three cats until they do what she wants them to do. It's funny to see that the alpha cat in the house is a French Lop rabbit.

Amen to that brother, 'cause this Chubster makes 'em way stinky!!

I can't keep pets where I live but I offer the following:

My Dad bought a ex-police dog to look after my mom and me when he was off on border duties. The dog was a silver Alsatian named Shane and the people that sold him to Dad said that Shane was incredibly vicious and would kill on sight. Riiiiiggggghhhhttttt....  Shane was so vicious he let me ride on his back.

My Siamese cat Ming would somehow know if I was ill at home ~ she would come and sit on my bed and stay with me for hours, only leaving when I got up or when she needed to eat or go somewhere.

Everytime I play with my dog outside, he always tries to herd me! He'll run around in circles until he gets tired. I find it pretty amusing when he plays with the neighbors bulldog, the poor little beast just end up standing still while Ike just keeps wheeling around him like a maniac.

One of my dogs (a Shih-Tzu / Bichon Frisse mix) likes to rest his chin on my neck while I'm sleeping.

My other dog (a Shih-Tzu / Peek a Poo mix) tries to hump the other dog whenever my wife annouces that it's time for them to eat.  Both dogs are male.
