Weird things your pets do....

[ferri]

My Malamute X Wolf likes to "hold hands". If we're going for a walk he'll gently take hold of my hand and lead me around for as long as I can handle the slobber. Who needs a leash?!! He also "walks" my Husky. We put a leash on her and put the end with the hand loop in his mouth. He gladly prances around with her under his control until they get tangled around a post of some sort... It's pretty darn cute, and people LOVE to watch them when we go for walks around downtown Kelowna!

AWWWWWWWWWW!!! that sounds too cute!!!

Okay, now I want to know what happened to Fluffy's cat??

Anyhow, 3 cats live in my home. I only consider one of them mine, the other two I just sort of acquired.
One I was minding for a friend while she moved (over a year ago and never heard from her again) The other belongs technically to the lady next door but keeps jumping the balcony to us.
Anyhow, do any of you guys have weird things your pets do that just make you shake your head.
One of our cats likes plastic bags, not to play in, but to lay on. I have this bag holder thingy on my wall (to put used shopping bags in for re-use) and she is constantly pulling them out, arranging them on the floor in a kinda nest and just sitting there.
It's kinda weird

Our cat loves bags as well. If we are doing any organizing or packing he likes to lay right in the middle of it. He also likes to drink water out of an actual water glass not a bowl.

The dog only drinks out of the cat's water dish and if the cat is desperate he'll jump into the bath tub and drink water from the drain.

We've had this re-occuring problem with the orange tabby (Rufus) 'marking' his territory around the house. A couple of years back, it got so bad and I got plain fed up, so I evicted the little bugger. The SPCA seemed like a death sentence, so I drove him to the other side of town and freed him. Get outta my life you little pi$$-bucket, go fend for yourself.

Am I the only one who has a problem with this???? I'm sorry fluffy, but if you cant afford to have your animals fixed, you shouldn't have them. Cats and dogs are NOT disposible pets and by you simply dumping your cat in another part of town is incredible irresponsible and I'm appalled!

I was hoping it was exaggeration for comedic effect.
Just dumping the cat would indeed be deporable.

If it was a 'funny' that I somehow missed, I will take back my . Untill I stand corrected though, it stays.

I am a tad hyper-sensitive when it comes to our pets and the treatment of them.

My kitty Tiggy is waaay off beat as it is, but she loves, loves, loves! to drink from a vase I have with cuttings in it:



In a "pinch", she will drink tap or filtered water, but by far this is her fave.

I ask her if she needs a "Topper-Upper"? and she runs to the vase. LOL

Luv my crazy kitty!

[gardengirl]

I would be careful with that. Some plants are toxic and could poison your kitty. Poinsettia and Dieffenbacchia for two.

Thanks Gardengirl for that reminder!
This vase contains pothos and an unknown cutting that I got from work.. I'd better do some investigating. She has been drinking from this vase for months now, and is fine. I had the vase on a coffee table, but she was so insistant on drinking from it, that I finally said to heck with it, and moved it to the floor for her.LOL

My dog Foxy (wired hair fox terrier), comes in from outside and then proceeds to run around the dining room table as fast as she can go! She will go around several times in one direction and the go the other way so that she doesn't get dizzy.

She will sometimes run up the stairs to the 2nd floor and then down to continue around the table.

She will do this for about 5 min. without stopping, then have a drink and grin at me!

If there is fresh snow on the back deck she has to jump and run around until it is all messed up!

that just reminded me. i used to live on a small farm, there were a million wild barn cats there (which i fed ) anyway, some of them i might catch a glimpse of if i was really lucky. one day i was hunkered down weeding my huge flower garden, there was catnip all over the place in it. i started feeling...strange, like there was someone behind me. i looked over my shoulder and there were about 20 wild cats rolling in the catnip i had been pulling and tossing behind me. LOL

Too funny ferri!

What the heck is in that stuff (catnip) anyways that makes them love it so?
