everyone with a pet no matter what it is


what are some "strange" things they do...kinda out of the ordnary for everyday pet life?

my 2 female cats are pretty normal..although C.J. likes to be wherever its the highest place she can get to and then hang out


but slinkey the male black "panther" type..he will sit here and "headbutt" me as long as i'm here..i do it back..thats what brought all this up..what does your pet do?...zap!

 

Let's see, besides howl and groan and moan when he stretches getting up every morning......he'll take his tug of war toy, or any toy for that fact, and will ram his nose into my hand and smear it back and forth until I play with him or get in the "game" with him. He's a riot, and a 13 month old male brindle pit...

 

Tucker (1.5 year old yellow lab) is known to occasionally sit in the chairs out on the patio. He comes up with some very interesting positions sometimes

There are plenty of other things, but thats the oddest of them IMO.

 

I got a little ankle biter that goes out back during the day and out front at
night. It never fails, daylight out back, night time, out front. She does this on
her own, 5 yrs now...
You ask her if she has to go out, she knows what door to walk to..

 

My chesapeake bay retriever used to carry the cat around by its ear. This was when the cat was smaller though. Now he uses its leg.

 

Black Lab...8 Months and 80 LBS

Wow, the list is sooo long LOL

Body slams herself into the back door's storm blinds when I get home at 11pm from work, she hears my alarm chirp and pounds the door until I let her in.

Slides her metal food bowl back and forth along the concrete patio at meal times(internal clock is amazing) and then looks through the back window like "did you hear me? It's time.

Eats rose bushes and Bougenvillia(sic?) thorns and all.

When I open a gate on the side of the house to check my garden, she runs in, gently pulls a Tomato off the bush and runs like he#@ cause she knows if I catch her its trouble.

Fetches my cork, hook and all when I try to fish. Fetches my castnet when I try to catch bait.

Oh yeah and she is always drinking my beer or margaritas around the pool when I'm not looking.....She's a PITA, but I wouldn't trade her for another LOL

 

Well other than sleeping on anythng soft he can find (like my bed)Caine, my 3.5 year old Yellow lab is pretty amazing. I have three stairs that go from the kitchen out back to the family room. My mom has arthritis in her knees and sometimes has a hard time with the stairs. When Caine see's her headed to the stairs, he will run down ahead of her, turn around and put his front legs on the second step and his back legs on the floor downstairs and stiffen his entire body so my mom can hold on to him as she goes down the steps.

I also have a little ankle bitter Lasa Opsa (SP) Lady.Shes old and cant see or hear well anymore. Anyway, when I give Caine a bone, he will break a piece off and lay it on the floor in front of Lady so she can eat it.

When he wants to go out he will walk to the door and hit the door **** with his nose until I let him out.

Oh yeh, hes at least 120 lbs..when I have a bone for him he will stand in front of me and jump straight up in the air. He can get at least 3 feet off the ground. Thats pretty good for a big Lab.

 

This is my dog, Frodo Waggins. He's a 2 year old Rat Terrier. This is the smartest dog I have ever known in my 37 years of existence. He can scale my 6ft. fence by running up it somehow, climb a chain link fence with ease, and knows all common commands plus some others. I'm not an animal person, but this is dog has earned his place around here. Not a barker, or a menace. Just a very cool dog.

The strange thing this dog does is that he is obsessed with licking peoples feet. No matter how disgusting a foot may smell, or look, he'll lick it clean. I won't let him lick mine, but the wife, kids, and some guests just think that it is great. Makes me wanna puke. Took this photo of him while he was trying to sleep in my lap. He wasn't impressed.

 

I had a cat that used to do her "diggim's" on my pant leg, but only when I had jeans on, she new sweat pants were too thin...mrs. zap!

My girl has a cat that finds interesting ways to get even when he's mad. For example, we went to Ohio this weekend and left the cat in my girls apartment (had someone check in on him daily). When we get home, my girl puts her bags down, unpacks, and leaves the bags on the floor.

She came in yesterday after class...yep, the cat pissed all over her bags!

Think he's trying to make a point? I do...

 

We just got the Aerdale Terrier 2 weeks ago. He about 9 weeks old. The schnawzer will sit next to the pantry after supper waiting on her treats every night and she want leave till she gets them. The Aerdale grabbed up a mouth full of ant bed tonight. I guess he'd never seen ants before. I doubt he will do that again. It didn't seem to bother him though. If the schnawzer gets a thorne in her foot she put up the paw and stand still to you come get it out. The Dominoes commercial always fools her into thinking someone at the door. It never fails. The old dog I had named buckshot. He recently died. He went out one day and brought back the head off a deer. Someone had sawed the horns off and threw the head out, evidently. He toughted that head around by the ear for about a month. Him and the head were inseperable. It made him look intimidating.

 

Fletch...2 year old yellow lab...he sleeps on the picnic table on our deck.

 

My Chesapeake bay retriever will sit next to me while i fish and not move until i catch a fish then he will try to grab it as i release it back in the water then sit and wait for another. Also he will not go onto our new white carpet ever, i just asked him not to and he never has placed a paw on it. He is 1.5 years old and is very intelligent. He plays with cord wood as a toy go figure...

 

Casey doesn't have too many weird habits. When we give her a rawhide chew she will take it and drop it on the floor. She won't start chewing on it until you pick it up and tell her you're going to give it to the kitty. Then she gets all excited and snatches it back and drops it again. It's a game we have to play 3-4 times before she settles down to chew on it!

The cat has no really unusual ones that I can think of except she does the head butting thing too. She'll headbutt anything including furniture.

 

CJ is trying to maintain dominance over the other cats. The cat in the highest perch is the dominant one.


Too many odd things to list, but our aussie plays soccer. Sometimes uses her nose, but usually she gets by with just her chest and feet.

EDIT: Forgot to add, cats 'head butt' as a form of scent marking. There are phermones emitted from their faces; rubbing their heads on things transfers these scents to whatever they are rubbing on.
