Strangest things your pets do?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Spin-off of Rain Man's eulogy, luv posted about her cat insisting on laying on a sponge, got me thinking.

What's the strangest thing one of your pets does? I'm not talking about the strangest thing they've done one time; I mean one of the things they do all the time.

I've got a cat for the first few months we had him would freak the **** out at two shirts I owned. I have two Chiefs shirts that both have fairly large screened images on the front. If the cat's paws touched the emblems, he would lean his head way back with these huge, freaked out eyes, and then he would wig out and run away.

Same cat finally got over that, but now if I wear a ball cap and pick him up, as soon as he sees the brim he puts both paws on the brim and hangs there like it's a ledge.

My wifes dog does this wierd shit in the morning. Im the first one up and let her out of the bedroom she has to run her head into the wall fullsteam then begins to walk down the wall slowly rotating her whole body into it until shes upside down on her back with her legs flailing in the air like a turtle upside down.

My childhood mut would roll on peoples head and lick there hair if the layed on the floor. When i was a teen id go to ball practice throw my sweaty hat down and hed drag it under the kitchen table and hump the shit out of it. Head fettish i guess. Always wanted him to bust a nut in one of my buddies hats then get them to put it on.

One of my cats that passed away three years ago loved water and showered with us. Or anybody who happened to be taking a shower at my house. He knew what time I usually get home, and would wait by the front door for me. He wasn't overly affectionate, but just wanted to be in same area or room. Great cat.

The kitten we have now fetches, although it's on his own terms. He'll only do it with a certain type of ball, and in just a couple of specific places in the house. And when he gets bored with it, that's it - he'll go get the ball, drop it on the floor about six feet away and wander off. That's the neat part. The bad part is he's a toilet paper monster, and if the bathroom door isn't closed he'll shred an entire roll in about 30 seconds. He waits by the front door for me at night, too.

My Catahoula just likes to roll in dead shit, the deader and smellier the better, nothing that unusual for a dog.
But my chocolate lab that preceded her liked to obsess over the fish in our tank.

I had a cocker spaniel many years ago. When he got old he followed me everywhere... and I mean everywhere (house/yard). He was always underfoot, and he was also nearly deaf. When I left the house for work, or whatever, I'd come home and he'd be sleeping in a bed of my dirty clothes. He'd grab whatever he could and pile it up and make a bed out of it. He definitely suffered from separation anxiety towards the end.

I sneaked in one night and watched. Whenever lights would pass by our window(faces out less than 100 yards from busy interstate) she would take a full run across the living room, spring up the couch and throw her body into the wall attempting to catch the light beams.

Full sprawl. Smashing into the wall as hard and fast as she possible can. Not a smart cat. Still does this pretty regularly.

This reminds me of another stupid thing my schnauzer did.

We used to have an Impala 4 door when my MIL lived with us. After she died, my wife wanted a 2 door car and ended up buying a Monte Carlo SS. One day, we're taking the dog somewhere and I open the door to let him in the car. He proceeds to jump into where the rear door was on the old car, which is now the rear quarter panel of the new one and falls to the ground. Gets up, shakes his head and gets in the car. It was the damnedest thing I ever saw.

Dogs are so awesome.

When I ask my dog if she wants to go for a ride my Bichon does a 360 deg happy dance every time she walks out the door.

Only when we go for a ride.

Otherwise she just walks straight out.

I cut my dogs balls off, and he still liked me.

I think he actually might blame the kids for that, because he always pees on the bottom of the slide.

our bullmastiff must must must MUST....grab towel before he runs to the door to greet whoever comes in. we usually have hand towels within easy reach because when he comes away from his water bowl....yikes. but this greeting people with a towel in his mouth....funny.....and weird.

if you go cop a squat on a toilet in our house and don't close the door.....don't laugh.....you know you all do it sometimes especially in a master bathroom or when noone is at home....anyways...if you don't close the door.....our cat will come running full speed in there and sit and watch you! I mean you won't even know she's around or anything and then a tick before your butt cheeks hit the seat.....SURPRISE! you got company! weird man....just plain weird.

It's really upsetting that you guys have all been breaking into my house and stealing my cat on a regular basis.

You don't wanna know what else they've been doing with your cat.

Bastards.

At least cats clean themselves.

The cat in the bathroom thing is two-fold (I think). 1) Cat's don't like closed doors; and 2) When you're sitting on the toilet, they have a captive audience. Mine, even with the door shut, will bang and scratch on the door until you let them in, then lay down in front and want pets.
