My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it’s raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like “Daaad, it’s raining” and starting the cycle again.
My dog had to wear the cone of shame once. He got his face stuck to the fridge door for 10 minutes. Had to work out some other solution lol
We adopted a yellow-headed amazon (parrot) in his 40s. For months he was shy and kept to himself.
One day, seemingly out of the blue, he began whistling songs, cat-calling, saying his name, asking for a cracker, etc. He had like an entire repertoire!
Most unexpected, funniest thing that’s happened with any of our pets.
Close second is a cat that would play fetch, like a dog!
I’ve got a cat like that.
Also taught him to “come”.
Gross
Wrong spelling for that joke to work.
the inverted commas do raise questions though
The first cat I had (as a teen on my own) was the most amazing character. We used to go on walks to a corner store and she’d patiently wait for me while I shopped.
One day on our walk back from the store I saw her stop in her tracks, and then she was gone. I looked ahead and saw that some friends had decided to visit … and they had brought their dogs.
Psycho wasn’t your typical female cat. She was territorial as hell and protected her turf with a ferocity of a lion.
By the time I got to the house she had managed to terrorize the hell out of those three dogs, then wrap herself around the muzzle of one while biting his nose. That poor dog was screaming and swinging his head back and forth trying to shake Psycho off … to no avail.
I was finally able to pry her off and she promptly ran through the old milk chute to hide in the basement. My friends decided the best thing to do was take their dogs home to nurse their small wounds.
Needless to say the dogs never visited again.
Omg we had a Maine Coon as a pet when I was a teen. Go look them up, they are big. I heard yelping one day and say him hanging onto the neighbor’s dog’s tail and swinging around in the air. The dog stopped pooping in our yard after that. Then once I heard my mom yelling in the back yard. There she was being chased by the cat who probably thought it was lots of fun. I asked my mom, “What did you think the cat was going to do? Nibble on your ankles?”
My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk
My new angel, a 2 year old female 6 pound spayed chihuahua, humps her toys like she owes them money. I guess I’m just glad she’s getting extra cardio. Still awkward AF when we lock eyes.
My friend’s male chihuahua only humps his toys if he knows someones watching
humps her toys like she owes them money
Perfunctorily and with disdain & regret?
Something like that

My cat does this, except he goes all the way out, stands under the one leaky bit of the guttering 3 stories up, comes in soaked, yells until you dry him off and repeats. It’s gotten to the point we just lock him in if it’s raining. That way he yells about being imprisoned for a few minutes then goes and has a nap until the next meal time.
We have two doors that go into the garden, one in the dining room one in the kitchen, if we let our rescue Collie out of one she will wait by the other to be let in. Collies are smart, ours is defective.
Maybe she came from a food service establishment. Does she also yell ‘behind’ or ‘corner’ when moving around the house?
Stand on top of the door. Or pray to a light bulb
My cat got an unexpected chilli experience. I was cooking curry, and chopping up a bunch of peppers, and went back to my computer momentarily to double check something in the recipe. Cat hopped up on to my lap and, when I wasn’t looking, licked my fingers. Poor wee guy had no idea what was happening to him and scarpered for the bathroom sink, where he yelled at me to please come turn the tap on
(I know chilli oil is quite bad for cats; he was okay after this brief but very unpleasant experience)
One of our dogs turns off the Roomba by thwacking the button with her paw. It took awhile to catch her in the act.
I was at a dinner party with my shepherd-mix. While we humans sat at the table, he strolled around, went to the kitchen and found a small, delicious smelling trashcan. It had cooked chicken bones in it, not good for dogs. Unable to open it on his own, luckily, he grabbed the whole trashcan and brought it to me to open for him. Everyone was laughing. He was sad though that I did not help him get what he wanted but I was a little bit proud of him.
He was a great dog and lived to be 16. Rest in peace, buddy.
oh yeah, mine expects me to fix the weather too. or to open the window to the other outside, the one that doesnt have rain.
she once caught a mouse without hurting it (much), brought it inside and then sat on it. just sat on the mouse. and the mouse just cowered there, sunk in her chest fur.
The little shadow tiger has decided she does not like the cold tile floor in the kitchen on her little paw pads in the mornings. So she does this little hoppy move sideways into almost a gallop before the hind legs get into as much of a hurry as the front and nearly send her rolling out of the kitchen into the safe carpet of the living room
That sounds super funny and cute
Happen to have this on video?
No video. It has only happened a few times, but has brightened my morning.
My cat never jumped on furniture, even when I tried to coax her with wet food and treats. She just wouldn’t. I even took her to the vet to check on her back legs. She just doesn’t want to get on the furniture, and that never changed.
Except for one incident two years later. I was doing food prep for the week, and she jumped on the counter, walked up and stepped in my avocado. Still no idea what prompted it.
When my beagle was a baby she would stand in front of the couch, under the coffee table, stare at the couch, crouch, line up her shot, jump up and bang her head on the coffee table. She did this often enough to earn her the title Silly Bonks. Her full name is Princess Fancy Pants ‘Silly Bonks’ of House Cuddlepup.
I also recently taught her to stand up on her hind legs and spin around. Sometimes she jumps up and spins so aggressively she falls over.
She will run as hard and fast as she can on wet grass at the park and fall and just roll like three or four times, I’m not sure if shes slipping or doing it on purpose.
She learned if she stands on the couch she can reach out and put her front paws on the doorknob to look out the window in the front door. She had a couple good tumbles before she figured out how to properly dismount that one.
