post something your pet does that drives you ape shit!!

[Guava Jelly]

Barney likes to lick plastic bags. Can you imagine how much like nails on a chalkboard that sounds.
slurp!!!!! slurp!! slurp!!!.

Obie shreds toilet paper rolls..Pretty irritating when tp is in short supply

[Skittles]

1. he waits until I'm trying to sleep

then he jumps on the bed and proceeds to groom himself for 30 minutes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! :o

[AirmensMom]

9. You mean they don't ALL do that?

:shrug: I have a group bath going on in my bed when all four of them get in there. :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

29. They do, but at different times. Yogi guards my door.

Ever since we moved here, he guards my door part of the night and watches out the window part of the night. He has torn the blinds in one spot and looks out anytime he hears anything. It's honestly like he's protecting or guarding me. So they don't all sleep in here at once.

[OhioBlue]

42. mine do that too!!

break the blinds - to make themselves a little "window". They tear off the ends - about 5 of the vertical blinds on the end to make a little window about 3"x4" and perch on the window sill and keep watch for hours, especially when we're sleeping.

[Jamastiene]

46. That's exactly what Yogi has done.

He has 3 major lookout points. My room, so he can guard me when I sleep, the living room, so he can watch for me to come home, and the window toward the deck because we hear noises sometimes at night he likes to see what's out there. He watches when I leave for school so he can be waiting for me at the door when I come home. He can't stand to be away from me.

[AirmensMom]

2. Sabrina does that, too!

Licking bags, that is. I thought she was the only kitty in the world that did it. It's very annoying ... and I'm always afraid she'll bite off a chunk and choke on it. So we keep them out of reach as much as possible.

[Jamastiene]

4. It's the oil.

They are going after the oil in the bags. Mineral oil usually stops Sunday Girl. She bathes in a capful of the stuff then calms down.

[AirmensMom]

5. Sabrina calms down without it.

I just have to keep the bags out of reach. I asked my vet about it and he said some cats just do it. :shrug: We can't give her mineral oil.

[Jamastiene]

6. Oh ok, well, the mineral oil works for Sunday.

She seems to lick the bags as a way of telling us that is what she wants. She'll lick and when we tell her to stop it, she looks at the cabinet door where the oil is kept.

[AirmensMom]

8. What a sily girl!

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

3. Hey, wait a minute.

You just described my cats. When Sunday Girl licks the plastic bags, it's her way of irritating me into giving her some mineral oil for a hairball. But, she picks the damndest times to do it. Middle of the night come to mind.

Also, I can't leave toilet paper anywhere near Yogi. He shreds TP too. And he does the bath thing for 30 minutes, lapping, licking, and all sorts of disgusting noises I hear while I am trying to go to sleep. Wow, I though my cats were the only ones who could turn a house into a zoo. Glad I'm not alone, but I love my babies even with all their quirks.

[Skittles]

7. funny how they endear themselves into our hearts

even though we bark at them a bit :)

[Jamastiene]

30. Cats seem to make servants out of us.

We start out actually believing they are our pets until one day it dawns on us that we have been their pets the whole time. Crafty little critters, aren't they?

[Skittles]

32. absolutely

I know better than to try to make the bed when a cat is on it.......:o

[Jamastiene]

37. I have learned that they like to have the bed made up around them.

I have put the fitted bottom sheet right over Yogi before. He likes it. Also, I have made up the bed layered in cats. Yogi under the fitted sheet. Domino in between the fitted sheet and the top sheet. And Sunday Girl gets on the blanket on top of both of them and swats at them. They swat back and forth for a while until someone gets out. As they get off the bed one at the time, I neaten it up and it's done. I enjoy it when they "help" me.

[peekaloo]

10. My cat tears up the garbage can liner.

Waits until I've left the room then attacks it mercilessly. :-(

[madinmaryland]

28. Our cat tears up the litter box liner.

:puke:

Man what a mess cleaning it out!!

[BreweryYardRat]

11. My mom's old Persian

...refuses to use the litterbox about half the time.

[Samurai_Writer]

12. This happens EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to me...

RIGHT after I fall asleep, my cat does the following:

He gets his favorite mouse which has a little jingle bell in it, and walks around the house meowing LOUDLY with the mouse stuffed in his mouth. He meows all the way into my bedroom, then sits there until I say "Sterling, shut up!" Then he drops the mouth (thunk!) and hops up into bed and goes to sleep.

What is UP with that?!? He gets into bed with me and I pet him silly for 10 minutes straight when I first go to bed. He only does this after I have fallen asleep.

[NewWaveChick1981]

13. My dog Casey licks her butt for 15-20 minutes.

:yoiks: We took her to the vet, thinking she had a problem, but nooooo---she apparently just likes butt flavor, and the vet said some dogs are just like this. She gets really mad when you try to stop her from doing it, too. :eyes: The juicy slurps and smacking sounds are just too much.

[City Lights]

14. Kaylee thinks she's a newborn and that I'm her mother.

Drives me nuts!

Mozart and Alex like to knead me, however, their claws really hurt, and sometimes leave scabs. Mozart has also put a hole or two in my clothes this way.

[tinfoil tiaras]

15. Gets cat hair on my sheets, clothes, etc

That drives me up the wall...yeah..i'm pretty anal...i know :P

[Dangerously Amused]

16. So cute, your kitties!

'Ello, cute kitties! Uh oh, I see a fuzzy kitty belly on the bottom pic... look out kitty, I'ma gonna tickle your fuzzy kitty belly!... here I come kitty, sneakin' up... here I come... tickle tickle...

=ouch=ouch=ouch=ouch=ouch=!!!


Heee heeeeeeeee!



N-E-way, Ralphie ALWAYS stands with one paw in his water dish to drink from it. I have no idea why. Oftentimes he'll use the litterbox either immediately before or after, and if after he'll walk around the house with a litter encrusted paw spreading litter far and wide. Grrr. I am constantly changing the water after he drinks from it to keep everyone from getting worms, and making sure to worm them all regularly. Which they hate.

Lillian, on the other hand, loves to lick photographs. I didn't think about the oil in the paper bags, perhaps this is a similar issue for her. Hmmm...

[Guava Jelly]

38. Thanks D A..They are free if ya want them :)

I don't they are eating well enough.

[RedCloud]

17. My dog eats cat poop...

And then she goes about smacking her lips in cat like satisfaction for about half an hour.

Sometimes I have to punish her for that. Once I wouldn't let her lick me for one week.

[ceile]

18. My baby shreds shoes!

I have lost many a pair to the claws!

[RetroLounge]

19. She only did it once.

She died...

:cry:

RL

[Bzzzz]

20. I have 2 Min Pins...

the youngest, Maggie, loves to nibble on my nose, she's also a 'yapper'...she never quits yapping, but I love her just the same.

[Katina]

21. my cat drools

when you pet him. It's gross...but I love him. When I'm in bed, he climbs up onto my head and drools in my hair. I guess I should be happy, when he was still a kitten, he used to suck on my hair...that was really gross.

[Mutley]

22. My dog counter-surfs when I'm not home.

Dog forbid I forget to put something like the cereal box away. x(

[Ariana Celeste]

23. Peanut has to lick my ankles when I get out of the shower.

I just don't get it. And I hate it. Jeez. Lick my hands or my face, fine, but leave my feet and ankles alone!!

[jonnyblitz]

24. one of the kitties kicks or flings litter and poo from the litter box

onto the floor so when i go to clean it there is a pile of litter plus a lone turd flung here or there outside the box. :grr:

[pointblank]

25. OK

My 1 year old beagle, Gus (the little guy on the chair in the picture) has a bad habit of taking his rawhide chew onto the couch and chewing on it on the EDGE of couch so it inevitably falls off onto the hardwood floor and either slides under the couch or he pushes it there and then he proceeds to let out single LOUD barks until my wife or I get it our for him...There is no ignoring him...He does this over and over and since we (my wife mostly :rofl:) have catered to him by retrieving the bone for him so many times in the past he won't STOP! It was cute at first, but now I can barely lay on my couch and watch TV anymore without him doing it!

I still love the little guy more than anything, so I will be the sucker I am and keep doing it!

[xchrom]

40. you realize that gus knows the diff and thinks it's funny right?

they aren't that ''dumb''.

but -- it's pretty clever -- and a good burn all at the same time.

[pointblank]

47. Well, I never said they were dumb

If he were "dumb" he wouldn't be able to figure out that the bone was under the couch in the first place!

I agree that he thinks its funny...At the very least he loves the attention. His sister (the other beagle in the pic)is 2 years older than him and they are inseperable and he has been around wither her or one of us since he was born, so attention is something he craves!

[txwhitedove]

26. We've discussed who is the alpha dog in my house, but...

the only way she can verbally insist is through facial expressions and actions.
She will stop dead in the street or on sidewalk and give me a "look" that says
everything - she doesn't want to go that way, she doesn't want to go home yet, etc....

[livetohike]

27. Murphy howls with sirens (ambulance or fire or police) and

Cindy will join him. Curiously, they don't do this at night, only during the day.

They also love to eat kleenex - if it's used all the better, but they will steal fresh ones right out of the box if they can.

[adriennui]

31. wow, you have big kitties

are they both toms?

the annoying thing....my gorgeous pup scolds my husband and i while we eat dinner. could be worse though, he used to eat cat poop out of the litter box.

[ChickMagic]

33. They like to gak on my shoes

I swear, there's not another creature on earth that pukes as
much as our cat. It's like living in a frat house.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Ginsberg (cat) and the bunnies all think books are edible.

Of course, it's more annoying with the cat. It's easy to move something out of the reach of a bunny, but bookcases are entirely fair game to the average cat.

[querelle]

35. Casey the Cat.......

........used to hop up on the railing of my balcony and do a tight rope act when I lived on the 23rd floor of a high rise apartment building. Use to scare the shit out of me, but she seemed to like it so what the hell. She finally died of old age (18 years) about five years ago. I was always amazed that her little hobby never killed her though.

Q

[Broken_Hero]

36. our dog

loves pissing on those grocery plastic bags...a few times, my wife and I would be unloading groceries straight from the bag, into the frigde, and our little dog would walk right up to the bag, lift his leg, and piss...and if you leave one of those bags, on the floor, withing seconds/minutes, if yuo aren't watching, he will piss on it...its aggravating...when we bring groceries in the house, we usually put him up in the bathroom, until we are done putting things away...

[scarlet_owl]

39. Nico also shreds toilet paper rolls. Paper towels, too.

Michiko (ferret), climbs up the trash can and gets in it.

[AlienGirl]

41. Turns furniture into toothpicks, starts yelling early in the morning

Eats the bun off of anything in a bun before I can get to it, dismantles technology, pierces fingers and toes and sometimes ears...

Tucker

[Kajsa]

44. Yes! I have two toothpick producing kitties.

They shred sofas,chairs, papers,and curtains. Then they like
to pull the stuffing out of the sofas and chairs.

Do I have the most destructive cats on this planet?

The bulk of the shredding takes place when everyone
is gone,i.e. they are alone to tear up the place.

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. Swipes my keys and my ATM card

takes off in my truck, drives to Quik Stop, buys Bud and Camels and goes to cat orgies down by the river.

I keep having to get new ATM cards because of the tooth marks. :grr:

[Kajsa]

45. LOL ! OR, Your cat (s) is

Party Animal!!!

Yes, I did- I said it!

:hi:
