My cat can't work a cat flap. She just won't push her head through it, she has to hit the flap with one paw, so hard it bounces back at her, so she can quickly get a paw underneath it, and sort of lift it over her head. She then crawls through.
Obviously she rarely gets it to open wide enough to catch it first time, so there is about a minute of banging and clattering, until she finally appears in the kitchen.
Idiot.
middle cat (aka the sObviously she rarely gets it to open wide enough to catch it first time, so there is about a minute of banging and clattering, until she finally appears in the kitchen.

Woke up this morning to find tango drapped over my stomach.
Front legs one side legs the other like a cat rug on me.
He was also limp and meant I couldnt move him easily. I had to lift him plus duvet in order to get out of bed.
About 20yrs ago I had two spaniels, a springer and a sprocker. They would lay either side of me on the duvet, I'd wake in the night as I couldn't move and had to bend my knees and kick the duvet up to roll them off me!Front legs one side legs the other like a cat rug on me.

Our Corgi can just jump onto the couch with maximum effort. The other day he tried to jump onto my lap when I was sitting on the couch. He didn't quite time it right and ended with his stomach sitting on my knees and all four legs in the air but due to the angle of my knees was slowly sliding down my shins back towards the ground. All legs kicking as he realises whats happening but has no ability to stop it the look on his face was classic. I knew he wouldn't be hurt so just let it happen.
Couldnt find the loading cat into car for vet trip thread (genius thread)
Had to take Tango to the cattery on friday so me and the lady could go away for the weekend.
Left work early, got stuck in traffic and all I wanted to do was get in and calm him down so I can box him up.
Got home no sign of cat. Prepped the box and some food for him. finally he showed up and managed to get him in the Cayenne for the trip to the cattery. He didnt like the car one bit. I drove it smooth as I could too and the Cayenne is a wafty but sporty when needed lump. Minor road rage incident with prick in a Saab.
I wouldnt of minded had Tango not been with me but harsh braking spooks him.
He shouted at me all the way to the vets. Especially the last mile down the country track to the cat womans place. I even had it jacked up and on comfort.
Anyway he got there and he let me know he wasnt happy.
THEN
We had to pick him up and he didnt like the B Class my mrs drives and decided to st all over his box on the way home. The car still has a aroma of cat st.
But hes happy as larry and I missed the sod while I was away. Not being woken by him is weird.

I always end up with at least 1 animal, often three when I take a dump!
Yeah, ours do that too. And of course by the time that you realise you've left the door ajar (or just unlocked in the case of the dog) it's too late to do anything about it."F*** off, do I come and bother you when you're taking a crap"
Also sometimes have to take a pee while fending off the dog's attempts to stick his nose in the toilet. One of these days he's going to get his head peed on, the dirty sod.

Not really a stupid trait but bearing in mind our dog is a flock guardian/shepherd and 'in the wild' would normally sleep outside regardless of weather he absolutely refuses to go outside in the rain to the point where you either risk putting your back out and carrying him outside or you just give in and try walking him when it isn't raining.

That reminded me - I had a staffy x who absolutely hated the rain. Once, it was raining particularly heavily, and he needed a pee, so I opened the back door for him. He took one look outside, turned sideways and cocked his leg out the door, so he stayed dry 
Had to admire his intelligence/cheek!moorx said:

When my OH's Westie goes to the groomers he cocks his leg & pee's out of the cage - the groomer is not his biggest fan! Still, he absolutely hates being messed with so the Vets is a nightmare, he now has to take a sedative prior to going after he shat all over a Vet nurse!
Last time my OH begged me to take him figuring he would be calmer, I came out with blood pouring from all the scratches on my arms from his sharp little claws.

ts more than a little challenging. However occasionally they still need to see her, or sample some of the stool or do whatever else they need to do. The vet in question is called Wolfgang and he is calm, measured, professional and still has a soft but obviously German accent.
Meaning that if you want to reduce any member of the family to hysterics you need only say the words. "Ze tail! ZE TAIL! Von't somebody please get hold of ze tail."
It didn't just hit the fan, it got nervously wagged all over the consultation room, one vet and two vets nurses afterwards.
We sat down to breakfast this morning and Mrs JB stretched her bare feet under the kitchen table.
Little did she know that the cat had left a strategic pile of mouse entrails (plus a random internal organ of some sort) just far enough under the table for us not to have noticed. The squish of guts between toes caused the most blood curdling scream I've ever heard, which then caused our 1-year-old to have a blue fit too.
Sadly I was too busy rolling on the floor laughing to help too much...

I find cleaning vomited mouse at midnight on a sunday to be the killer of all humour.
My dog's really nosey - taking her for a walk down the road can be quite comical.
We'll be walking along in one direction and she'll be looking at something happening behind us such as a car parking or someone going in or of their house.
Numerous times she's fallen of the kerb and landed in a heap in the gutter - and she's walked into so any lamp posts and trees you'd have thought she would have learnt to watch where she's going by now.

Best one I can think of is one of our old dog Sasha the Staffy although she had more than a few moments.
Now staffs never have been the most intelligent of dogs but poor old Sash didn't even get the memo to join the back of line for the queue in brains.
Once she saw a cat at the bottom of the garden, cue instinct and the chase was on, however the cat decided to stand it's ground and arch it's back, Sash hadn't noticed as she was now running full pelt with her head down.
A few seseconds later there was a cry from the cat as it had just been t-boned by a fat little staff and launched into the air
The best bit was the confusion on the dogs face as she wondered where the cat went!
