Strange things pets do

[BrightSide]

Gary is a mental little fluffball. He has been since he was tiny! His breeder said when he was a baby, he used to sit on the vaccuum cleaner when she was cleaning and ride around.

Recently he's taken to shaking himself like a dog. He doesn't even go out, so he's got no reason to. :') He likes sitting on the arm of the chair next to the computer room window and watching me. He gets quite hyperactive at times and ends up shooting around the house.

He's got a vendetta against a certain hearth rug (I don't like it either) and attacks it for minutes on end, then wears himself out and falls asleep.. and when he wakes he continues attacking it. Lately he's taken to sleeping on the kitchen floor on his favourite blanket and rolling around insanely. He wakes up when I go in to get my meds and throws himself at me. Sometimes, he'll chirrup randomly after looking at someone and run away. Bonkers.

He'll only sleep with a plush doll I gave him when he was a baby kitten. He hates other cats but he likes dogs.. he used to have a thing for the milkman too. Sometimes he'll even have little boxing matches with us :')

He also eats the most insane things. His current fave weird food is cupcakes, especially cherry ones.

Awwwww!    I had a ferret who used to attack the vacuum--I had to put the silly thing in his cage when the vacuum came out because he would get his tail caught in it.

My Tonk will just jump up onto my shoulder from the floor.  She's 15 btw.    The youngest will just sit there staring at you.  "umm, you are s'posed to be picking me up now".

our two tabbies want you to watch them eat in fact you have to sit there and pet them before they will eat.  Then they want you to make a fuss over them and they insist we get to bed at a certain hour.

Awwww cute!  My cat liked to eat onions and raw potatoes.  And when she wanted to be picked up, she'd stand in front of you and rear up on her hind legs, raising her front legs, like a toddler. 

Awww I love huggy cats like that. That reminds me of one of the things that endeared me to my late guinea pig Vixen. I'd open my arms and she'd climb into them just like a child wanting to be picked up. To get back on topic, one of Vixen's quirks (and she had many being a guinea pig) was a great love for the smell of chocolate even though she could never have any. One of the last nights she was alive, I had her on our old easy chair while I was making chocolate chip cookies. I came over with my dough covered hands and held them in front of her nose and slowly started pulling away and she about walked off the chair following the smell of the chocolate chips. XP She could be such a silly thing. I miss her.

Awww it seems like everyone has stories about their pets eating. Animals can be so very weird about food. I know with my dog he has a weird habit, but this one is actually  my fault. When he was younger I taught him to shake hands or give little high fives...nor not considering he lacks proper digits. I always gave him treats though, now when people eat he walks up and will put his paw up or smack them with his paw. Obviously he needs a treat!

Also he pees squatting. He is the only male dog I've had actually, so I'm not sure if that happens often. I dunno if he learned it from our girl dog or what. My mom says it comes from him living with a house full of women.

That's so funny! My little girl pup is just the opposite-- She tries to pee with one leg raised, like a boy, and often falls over or loses her balance. I think she picked it up from my older male dog.

Sarge the greyhound really was raised on the track. He enjoys sniffing and attempting to eat peoples cigarettes. He also enjoys licking the tops of adult beverage bottles (he does not do this at our house, we don't drink, but he'll do it at other people's houses!). He's a weirdo. He'll rush into the room the second you crinkle a plastic bag...
Oh, he thinks he's a lap dog... His head is the size of my lap!
After 7 years he finally learned how to sit last year.

My cat steals fruit from other people's houses and brings it in instead of birds or rats
