Really dumb things your pets do

My dog has to hold my hand 100% of the time. I'm not exaggerating - always.
When he is sitting next to me, he'll scratch my arm until I put out my hand and let him deposit his paw in it. He'll sit that way for hours with me.
He does this in the car, too, so I can never have both hands on the wheel.

Then there was this wacky Siamese cat I used to own.
Jawsie. Or Jaws.
Once Xmas when I was decorating the tree, I noticed him
playing with and biting at the tinsel.
A few days later he got pretty sick. Vet thought he might
have some blockage and gave him a laxative.
About a week later the is chasing his tail in the living room.
He was a really dumb cat, pretty but dumb. I check it out and
he seems to have 2 tails. I grab him and he has about 12
inches of clear plastic tinsel rolled up into a rope hanging
out of his butt. So I grab a rag and hold him down and pull
on it and another 12" cames sliding out of his anus.
All the silver stuff was digested off of it. Max grossage.

The Scotty story coming up.
We used to have this stubborn little Scotty. On day we had
gone grocery shopping and bought some supplies for the house.
We put most everything away and went out for the evening.
When we got back, I found this paper wrapper on the floor that
used to have a stick of pepperoni in it. Apparently, I missed putting
it in the fridge. We deduced that the cat hopped up there, started
playing with it an knocked it on the floor, and the Scotty, who was 50%
mouth, devoured it. All gone.
We headed off to bed and about 4 AM my wife shouts, 'What the
heck did you do?" Nothing I said, jumping up to open all the windows.
The dog was under the bed and had ripped the foulest, vilest room
clearing fart I have ever had the misfortune to be poisoned by. The
malodorous cloud insidiously followed us back to the living room, and
even though it was about 10 degrees outside, we opened all the
doors and windows until the gas attack had subsided.
Never feed your dog pepperoni. But leave a stick out for that
neighbor's dog who has been trained to come and dump in your
yard, it will be amusing to see the results later. You will want to
have a video cam handy.

My cat does that from underneath the bed, especially when we have a long spread or comforter on that hangs down to the floor. He'll run under and wait at he foot of the bed... and when wifey or I walk by, he'll pop out, box our achilles a few times in a second, duck back in and wait for us to walk by again.MikeyFingers said:
He also likes to hang outside of the bathroom when someone goes in and closes the door, and he'll reach his paws underneath. Put your foot close enough and he'll try like heck to swat ya from the other side.
So this guy here:
He has a problem of sticking out his tongue and just leaving it there... it's exacerbated because he's entirely gray and his tongue is very pink so he just sits there with his big eyes looking silly with his tongue sticking out... my girlfriend and I constantly remind him to put it back and he just gives us the vacant stare... it's pretty good.
He also likes to park his butt in the flower pot and look straight up and just stay that way for like 2 or 3 minutes... I tried to loacte the picture I have of it but couldn't, it's hilarious.
God love these stupid cats...

Oh yeah... my dog Oreo was like a crack fiend when it came to Pepsi. One of my sister's boyfriend had an unfinished cup of Pepsi, so he feeds it to Oreo right out of the cup. From that point forward, when either of us would pull a 2-liter out of the fridge, he's go nuts panting, standing, hyper-pacing, just begging for a taste.
Eric Cameron said:We used to have a cat that thought it was a heavyweight champion or something. It would routinely face down much larger opponents, like say a Dalmatian, a Husky, and a racoon. When we pulled up the boards on our front deck to do some work, we found several dozen little critter skeletons under there. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks, a snake, rats, even a baby possum. That cat was a serial killer.
But he LOVED people. And if you didn't pet him when he wanted, he would bite your hand.

Dude, that's just like our other cat... he's a huge orange cat that will take on anything... he was a stray for a few years. My gf and I joke that we're living with an ex-prizefighter since he swaggers around the house all day. He and the gray one always get into it (playing mostly) but the orange one punches him so hard that you can hear it across the room... luckily the gray one's plucky (both are rescues).
P.S. they are both on diets... they are both huge... they just don't get any smaller... (plus the orange one is a diabetic).
Prizefighter cats are always amusing. They walk around, acting all nice and fluffy, wanting to be petted. Then another cat comes in the yard, and it's like living with a Tazmanian Devil!! Sebastian (for that twas his name) never really went in for the yowling thing with other cats. The other cat would start yowling, and Sebastian would simply go for the throat. I think it kind of suprised those other cats, who were expecting a "anything you can sing I can sing louder" competition.

Ha ha ha... yeah, seriously. The gray one (Monty) will play-attack the orange one (Shaun) and Shaun just rolls him over and puts his teeth on his jugular. I imagine Shaun spitting out a Dolph Lundgren like "Game over" or some similar hokey one liner at that point...

Happened at our party Saturday when the group retired downstairs to watch a DVD. Can't leave goodies alone for two minutes.Lost the tablecloth, cat is fine.
Wow! It only takes one time huh? Did your cat get burned? I hope not.
Kitty is just fine. My wife said that he acted contrite the next day, but I don't believe that for a second. He was probably just disappointed that he didn't get to the butter!jay_t said:

Our kitten took up climbing the screen door to our balcony this morning.
He also gets pretty interested when I am working on the computer. I don't mind when I'm playing games, but when I'm writing my thesis it can get somewhat tiresome. I may have to ban him from the computer altogether.
He also likes to sleep on piles of articles that I'm using for my thesis.
He's also become quite curious of water.

My female rat terrier has started emulating my larger male dog when she has to make winkie. However, rather than lifting only one leg, she literally will do a hand-stand on her front paws and back up until her butt rests against the mailbox/lightpost/whatever. Then she proceeds to do her business. The first time she did it, I thought she just lost her balance. She now does it everytime she pees.
She also hates to get her feet wet. When she goes in the backyard after a rain to pee, she will hang her rear off the side of the patio to avoid touching her feet to the wet grass.
