Goofy pet quirks

lol, what a fun thread!

My cat eats lettuce to fit in with the rabbits and all of her odd little quirks... (she begs for all kinds of foods you wouldn't think a cat would want). She also likes to watch my hunter's pet croc in WoW. Gamer cat! Sadly though she's never learned to cover anything properly in the litter box in all her 18 years. She knows she's supposed to scrape something, and will scrape random things around the litterbox, but never actually made the connection between doing that and covering poo. :rolleyes: In fact, she almost never scrapes anything that touches the litter sand at all.

Bowie, in particular, is our sweet gentle weirdo. The other two buns are very mischevious, but he's just... odd. He never digs or destroys anything, sweet as can be, but he has a thing for licking random inanimate objects and is infuriated by the mere presence of raisins. And only raisins, he's pretty zen otherwise. I have no idea why this could be.

Daphne will shove her head under him to plead "Please groom me!" and he'll totally ignore her and groom the wall instead. The other two groom Bowie all the time, but he generally tends to groom something else randomly. I have some evidence of this on youtube, lol Unut grooming him while he grooms... the tv tray. He grooms them back every once in a while, but usually ends up grooming something else too. Funny thing is though you can always predict when Bowie is about to lick something. He stops and thinks really really hard about it a while before he starts!

Both our boy bunnies like to play with string too, they love cat toys.

My sister's cat Matrix used to lay down by his food dish and scoop food out of it with his paw. Now that's lazy.

I also had a pet mouse once named Gir who was madly in love with his wheel. He would chase other mice off of it, sleep on it, and leave it only for food. And when he was running on it he'd occassionally stop to... erm... let's just say, I regretted having that tank up by the computer. I did not need to see just how much he loved that wheel, and certainly not that often! :O So not right...

:rolleye2:

My cat Skinny thinks I am her mother. If Im lying in bed without much cloithing on, she will get under the blanket and try to suckle me.....and its painful too!! She is over 2 years old and will still try!

Also she loves the attack my legs if I dont have pants on. If I have a towel on when I get out of the shower, she will chase me and paw at my legs. She never uses her claws when she does it so it almost tickles! I love that damn cat!

My old cat, Chachi, used to attack my toes... She hated toes. She used to do the same with my mom's toes and my two little brother's also.. And sometimes she used to wait in a corner and when you would walk by she used to attack you. And every day she would wait for me to come home and when she would hear the door opening she would jump on the couch next to the door and greet me... She was the cutest thing ever!

My dog Nikki snores...

My dog Moo-Moo barks and stands in two legs when she wants attention.

Also my dog Nikki likes to "bite" the water..

We had a little black mutt dog when I growing up, older than I was, name Mazzeltov. She lived foooorever, but then when you bless an animal everytime you talk to it, it's gonna happen.

She was mostly an outdoor dog, but loved to come inside as much as possible. Mazz would stand at the patio door and if she saw you, shiver uncontrollably to show you how cold she was and that she needed to come in. If she didn't see you, she wouldn't shiver...but as soon as she caught sight of you, the shivering would start. Smart dog. =)

Other than that, I have a couple of snakes that slither a lot when they're hungry...=)

My Dad's dog has the funniest personality I've ever seen... He's jealous as heck but only when he knows you like him more than the other animal. If there's another dog in the room and he knows that he's the undisputed favourite he will literally muscle them out of the way so that you can't pet them and hence begin to like them... My sister's dog is usually the target. My own dog never had that problem Bailey let him get away with anything, he could eat out of his bowl, lay on his head, interrupt Bailey's petting sessions and even hump him constantly and Bailey didn't care - any other dog and it was game on though. He also *will not* sleep unless someone is holding one of his paws. If you let go he wakes up and swats you till you take it back.

My first dog was sweet as pie favourite animal ever - literally saved my life at least once - loved everyone and everything... Unless someone upset me. Quaranteened I believe 9 times in total in his life for defending me... I was the only one in the family he would act like this around... If I was outside playing, which I always was, then he was sitting near me watching... If I got uneasy at someone or something, he'd start growling. The kicker was the two times we thought we'd have to put him down over it... Bit the mail man for picking me up as a baby and me screaming, and had a brawl with a wolf that didn't survive the attack. The mailman was actually extremely understanding though.

My fish wave to you and beg for food, follow you around the room... And 'kitty' (aka Cleo) has a thing for sitting in my hair the entire time she's being handled.

Emma, one of our horses, is a nut when you give her her evening feed. We put the pelleted feed in rubber bowls that are about the size of a dinner place and 6 inches deep. Well, Emma has to bite into the bowl, move it around until it is in the spot she wants it in, and only then will she eat. She sometimes spills it all over and seems to enjoy picking it out of the straw in her stall.

I'm lovin' these stories y'all; keep them coming!
