Funny things your Pets do

So, I thought I would start a thread here to share funny stories from peoples pets.

I will start. I had my guinea pigs out on the sofa last night, all happy and playing around. Unfortunately, I needed to let some air out (putting it politely). The sound of it though sent the guinea pigs into a scared frenzy and I had to comfort them but just the reaction made me giggle.

    @Sparklebright63 That is so sweet. My guinea pig Chocolate is the jumper. She thinks that she can jump distances that she cant lol and then wonders why she ends up on the floor.

    I used to have a cat who would only drink from a bowl of  water placed inside the bath. So I would hear him jumping in and out to get a drink.

    Great thread idea

    Our family dog is pretty normal but when on a walk will pick up a stick or ball and drop it then when someone goes to pick it up he will snatch it and drop it further away. It’s as if he wants to play but doesn’t.

    I’ve heard the dog drinking out of the toilet before

    My parents cat Prince will drink cups of tea if you left them to get cold honestly  he would stick his paw in the mug and lick his paw. My parents got smaller mugs as he originally would put his head in there. They thought that would stop him... nope he now uses his paws lol

    Eww @66Mustang.
    @BritPuddles not heard of cats liking tea, I know if we put glasses of water down, the cats would be right on to it. There proper scavengers cats are. I saw mine literally swipe a chicken drummer off my sons plate once, paw up from the floor and ran with it. Growling incase we got it off him. I never knew cats growled until I got one.

    Very good thread idea @BritPuddles, thank you :) 

    We used to have a cat who would occasionally just sit there with his tongue out for no reason at all, not cleaning himself or drinking anything. He would also have the odd occasion where he would just start running around the house at top speed, as though he wanted to get in his daily steps, we used to call it his mad half hour. 

    I'm not sure if this is common cat behaviour, I've only ever had one and not noticed these behaviours from other people's cats, and I don't watch cat videos either.

    My cat is quite unique lol. He drinks his water from a glass that i put down for him on the landing. If i'm later than usual going to bed he will come downstairs and meow at me sitting in the middle of the room and stare at me until i get up and turn the light off.
    He doesn't like meat of any kind. I can leave raw or cooked me out and he won't even twinge.
    He loves fish, especially prawns. If we're having prawns and he's upstairs i'll shout up asking if anyone wants "prawnies" and he jumps off the bed and runs down stairs so fast lol, it's so funny.
    He's a siamese so loves company. If we go out and are longer than usual, when we come home he'll meow for about 5 minutes as if to say "you were gone for ages"

    I always enjoy those moments where you get out some fish for a cat and listen for their pounding footsteps coming down the stairs. With ours, I used to be in the kitchen and him all the way up in the attic and as soon as the tin opener pierced the metal lid of the tuna can I used to hear him leap off the bed and charge down as though it was Christmas morning. Amazing senses, they have.

    Haha yes indeed. That’s exactly what my cat Alfie does too with tuna. He’s by your side before the tin is open.

    I honestly can say I never thought of cats with tea either till I witnessed it with my own eyes. We think its because of the milk in tea. But then again prince would eat your shoe laces if you let him... not the plastic tip but the actual shoe laces
