Their mum has a very short attention span for anyone apart from me, the kids are all scared of her as she goes from enjoying a fuss to a spitting clawed monster in about half a second!

Bloody idiots
One of ours - a one eyed girl who kept visiting our honeymoon bungalow in Greece, the reason for taking home two, thread else where on it - is affection hungry, always, without fail adores fuss. The other, idiot child only ever wants it on her terms. 90% of the time if you stroke her she'll arch her back and meow, to say 'get off me!' Funnily, in the evening, when I've gone in to the front room and put the log burner on (which she adores) she'll pretty much without fail come up on to my knee for a 5-10 minute fuss, and she's purring away like mad. She's a weird one is Milly Monkey.

Our lurcher is very good at kicking his turds at you with quite a lot of force. If you can’t pull him away in time he’ll launch fresh steaming dogst a good four or five metres with his backlegs.

He also has perfect recall on a training lead, however as soon as he hears the click of the lead detach he engages warp speed for the horizon.

my cat decided to jump out my bedroom window, about 6 meters off the ground, funnily enough , she's never done it again.

Same cat got it's head stuck in a chair backrest, had to saw it out to release her, not her head the chair....

Same cat got stuck up a tree in one of the worst nights ever, gales and heavy rain, eventually got down after 6 hours, only to get stuck up there again next night.

Every evening Kat just sits in front of us while we watch telly, staring at us until one of us gets up and walks over with him to his food so he can then eat it. He does this about three or four times before settling down for the evening.

It never bothers him any other time, just a certain time of evening we have to do this little performance with him.

What's that all about? confusedlaugh

A very similar story from me!

Before I met Sarah I owned this place, for the visual.
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMat...

The window at 12 o'clock was the living room. One hot summers night night I left it open, not even thinking it would be an issue. The Dobe X was my only dog at the time, I woke up, went in to the living room, 'OK. where's the dog'

Yep. He'd jumped. I then heard him barking, and a neighbour shout that a lady on the estate had posted on Facebook, she'd kindly taken him in to her house, after finding him loose barking at her cat, sat under their car. God, I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed!

Cheers! No he's just big! laugh

Where I used to have lunch in my car, he'd jump in each day and sit on my lap. Found out he'd been chucked out (probably for being rough) and fended for himself for almost a year. Winter was coming so I brought him home. He was more like a tame fox than wild cat to begin with, that was over eleven years ago and he's still not like a normal cat. laugh

A lovely tale, and agreed, he's very handsome.

Deefa is highly strung. However, he is very quiet in that he rarely barks. This proves a problem when a door to somewhere closes behind him. He doesn’t make a sound, just waits knowing that at some point I’ll realise he isn’t in my face so he must be trapped somewhere.

Also he is so sly. He will rattle door handles to go to the treat cupboard and the amount of times he has ate my dinner that I’ve left cooling on the side for the following day is unbelievable. My fault entirely for leaving it in his grasp!

We had a dog who would decide he wanted attention. If it was not forthcoming in seconds, he would kick the bin. Or he would nudge the panel with his nose then let it flick back.....

He would also open the stairgates... And let our toddler out....

My cat will turn her nose up at all but one specific brand of dry food and one specific brand of treat. What she does want to eat however, is almost anything that I have on my plate. Rice, carrots, gravy, spaghetti, ketchup, doughnuts and much more will cause her to hover as close as she can and make her move the moment I put the plate down. This might be due to the fact that she takes a few mouthfuls from her bowl, walks off then forgets there is still some left, so has to be led back to it multiple times a day. A few times she has scared the crap out of me by suddenly waking up, yowling at the top of her lungs as if she'd just broken her leg, then straight back to sleep as if nothing had happened.

This is Harry cleaning up the loose bits of hay that accidentally get dragged outside of his house he’ll then take this back inside, I think he has ocd! Also we move all his toys into a pile in the corner of the room he will then spend the next half hour putting them all back in the original location bless him

Chester (the fat Basset) is a knob of the highest order, his list of 'quirks' are nearly endless. Right now I am trying to type this, he is laying under my arms so I can't, he also weighs 36Kg so moving him is not an option. This is actually an improvement as he normally lies ON my forearms...

At bedtime, he has his own bed alongside mine, his is made of pillows and cushions and my duvet is then draped over him (as well as me) and he has to have his head placed in the correct spot on his cushions. All well and good, but you also have to hold his front paw until such times as he is well asleep or he howls/cries/fidgets until you do.

He is the friendliest dog on the planet... so long as he is away from home. If we are within 50 meters of home, then he is a vicious killing machine (yeah right!) that barks and growls at other dogs, people, cats, anything. People around here are scared stiff of the 'vicious dog' and are amazed at him when they meet us when out and about.

At certain times of the day, he drinks. Water is gone by the bowl full and if it actually gets empty, he picks the bowl up and BANGS it on the floor as hard as he can until it gets refilled. I could strangle the bugger!

When we go out for a walk at the park, I have to take his lead, not that he goes on it, oh no, just to have a chance of getting him back in the car! For a Basset, he is pretty well behaved off his lead and comes when called (eventually), plays nicely with other mutts, is friendly to one and all, but he knows when it's time to go home (this can be one hour or two or even more) and at that point, he starts to go 'full Basset' and buggers off! You have to catch him unawares and get his lead on when he is not looking/expecting it and then you can drag him back to the car while he struggles and plays up all the way.

The other dog (Phoebe the slim black Lab) has a few quirks of her own, but even she looks at Chester in amazement! I congratulate Chester every Sunday that he has made it through another week without being strangled.

our last dog, Eddie used to run around like an idiot after pooping as if to say - look, i've pooped! everytime without fail like a kid showing off his maths exam mark or something.

our cat tries to break our bedroom door down every night without fail with his head the corner of the carpet by the door is ruined. he will sit on the bedside table at pretty much the same time each morning - usually around 6:30 and knock things off to get attention and demand feeding. so one of us feeds him and then you have to TAKE him to his bowl and prove you;ve fed him or he won't leave you alone. thicko.,

our current new dog rolls over in a sort of weird way like a belly flop.

At 2.10pm my cat Tommy changes the channel to CH4 Countdown, I think he has a crush on Rachel Riley.

True story.
