Stupid things your pets/animals do.
Discussion
We have two cats, one is still in the child phase, maybe 16 months old (a Greek street cat, so no exact idea) She's a nob. When we renovated the front room I went to great lengths to find the thinnest sub cable I could, to put it under the wood floor, £80. To have the sub discretely tucked away, the opposite side of the room to the amp. The little git has only been behind the cable-tastic set up, pulled the phono pin off it, and lost it somewhere, no way to replace this cable. Sub now next to the front speakers. Cheers Cooking Fat!
Last year one of Mum & Dads Greys thought their Christmas tree was fair play to take a piss up. Christmas Eve, 'what's that smell?' EVERY bodies presents dripping yellow water. The other of their Greys a few months ago stole an entire freshly made Apple Crumble from their kitchen work top.
What tales have you got where your animals have been what can only be described as dick-headish?

Serves you both right for having a cat!
A dog would never be a knob
We've got 3 of them too A dog would never be a knob
One that one of them did. Sarah lets the dogs lick the plates and the like in the dishwasher. One time our Dobe X got his collar caught on something on the tray, and launched himself and the entire contents across the kitchen floor

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.Bloody idiots

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.
A very similar story from me! Same cat got it's head stuck in a chair backrest, had to saw it out to release her, not her head the chair....

Before I met Sarah I owned this place, for the visual.

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!

Handsome cat Vixen. Is he a Maine Coone?
Cheers! No he's just big! 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.

Our dog loves licking feet, he'll pester Mrs PR until she takes her slippers off. If we're in a pub or something he'll hide under the table, if a flip flopped foot passes by he'll nip out and give the owner a shock. Usually but not exclusively women.
You just have to pray that he doesn't do that when you happen to be picking up a dropped coin or fork. 'honestly, it was the dog!'Edited by PositronicRay on Thursday 3rd January 08:41
One which has been increasingly making us laugh is that the younger cat (Milly Monkey) gets vocal like you wouldn't believe, when being told off, or removed from a situation - like jumping on the work surface, repeatedly, to try and steal food we're preparing.
The reason for laughing so much about it came to me in recent days. She sounds just like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDUuBWGtpU

Our Siamese cat throws terrible tantrums when someone uses the shower. She sits in the bathroom doorway screaming, then when that doesn’t work starts cooing then she builds back to screaming again & it then morphs into this terrible gurgling noise. While she is making these noises she also violently throws herself round on the floor & rotates her head 360 deg like something out of the exorcist. It is worthy of filming & putting on YouTube.
She will also only have her yearly vet check consult sat on my shoulders which the vets find very funny. We usually get seen quickly at the vets as she makes such a terrible scene in the waiting room
Please, do go grab a shower, and get that filmed! She will also only have her yearly vet check consult sat on my shoulders which the vets find very funny. We usually get seen quickly at the vets as she makes such a terrible scene in the waiting room
On a similar note, the last time we took Monkey to the vets she protested none stop (she hates being put in her box) We were in the waiting room and she was perpetually voicing 'WAAARRS', and every time a cat across the room in a box replied 'MWOOOAR'
It all became a bit of a meow-off, the whole waiting room was in stitches after 5 minutes.
Bruce, our smallest dog today.
I've been dismantling an old UPVC porch out the back today, ready to extend. After the roof was off, out came the windows, to begin unscrewing it all. The front of the porch is split 50/50, a door, and a window.
After getting all the windows out I let him out. He went to the door to be let out, even though the porch was a windowless skeleton. I showed him the way out the 'window' and he was on his way.
Five minutes later I hear him whining, he's only sat at the porch door again telling me to open it!
Picture for context.

Thread resurrection time.
Melina (monkey) the cat this time. We sell our birds eggs to a local allotment shop. Last week the lass there asked if we could date stamp the eggs, she just found out she's legally obliged to have this. Stamped the eggs this afternoon. We're just back from a dog walk, and unintentionally left the ink pad out. She's been pawing away at it, and now we have red ink paw-prints bloody everywhere!
Oh, and last week Wilson helped himself to a £50 note left on the side, and chewed it to pieces, luckily there was enough of it left for the bank to exchange it!

We have a d
head called Domino.
He lives for food. We are under siege constantly. Normally we are accustomed to his stomachs desire and make sure that any food is safely at the back of the worktop, in the fridge, microwave etc. But he gets lucky on occasions. No kids are owning up to the 2/3rd of a pizza that vanished last night. We have our suspicions.
An early success was a pound of cheese that my wife bought at a Christmas market. It was in her handbag when we got back. But not for long...
He also barks - aggressively. Currently he is in is his favorite position, between my wife and I. If a neighbour closes a car door he will be instantly barking like he is on fire. I've had delivery guys running down the garden because of this. Oh and while he's doing this he tail is bloody wagging.
Play - If a dog wants to play he will probably join in. Remember the talking? Yup he thinks that play includes growling, teeth barring, and generally being an ignorant yob. At this point the other dog has thought fk this he's fking vicous. He then trots back looking disappointed. They won't play dad....
Sticks. The longer the better. And especially good to take out back of legs. Cheers mutt.
Singing. Morning DJ's who play all about that base are not popular... https://youtu.be/VK_MBja4GqM. Neither is the Amazon pony advert https://youtu.be/qSBGCuUjQeY. He also assists the reverse park sensors. Oh and if we call our daughter....
He is a dick. A cute dick, admittedly.
Dali's are dicks, yep. As are Weims, and Vizslas. Wilson, our Viz/Dobe X is going through a food stealing phrase. Every bit of food now placed at the back of the microwave. Where the cat will probably steal it. He's also taking to finishing his meal, then going to one of the other dogs bowls and sticking his head in to it..... whilst said other dog is still eating! head called Domino.He lives for food.
