The WEIRD things that your pet does

[Bitters]

In the middle of the night, my hamster will crawl onto his wheel (which is plastic, so that it should be silent), spit out his mouthful of seeds, and run. It sounds like a maraca convention.

Love my little lad, but my goodness is he weird.

My dog will hop at or on my clothes when he wants to go out for the washroom c:

My cat will stretch out her front legs while leaning on my legs then proceed to sharpen her claws on my pants. Cheeky little bugger.

One of my budgies likes to drink condensation and loves to drink my mum's wine when she's not looking.

^^ uh oh an alcoholic budgie

my dog likes to knock eggs off the counter! I have chickens and when I collect their eggs I get lazy sometimes and just leave them on the counter. then Pepper will spot them and jump his front paws right on the spot where they are and they fall off. I'll usually hear the crack and clean the mess up so really it's more trouble than its worth. I'm not sure whether he does this on purpose but whenever I leave the eggs out it happens

i have two cats, percy and tiny.

tiny is around three years old and she has the strangest mannerisms i've seen in a cat. first and foremost is sometimes she will paw out one piece of dry food from her bowl and play with it, tossing it around the kitchen and chasing it before eating it. she's done this for as long as i can remember. another thing she'll do it drag toys around in her mouth and whine loudly when she wants to play. she'll bring toys into my room or even pull them up to the top bunk of my bunk bed where i sleep. she only brings toys to my bed at night when i'm asleep, so i'll wake up with one wrapped around my feet or legs.

percy is five years old. he's is less strange and more like your textbook cat, that is stuck up and aloof. but he likes to tattle on tiny. whenever tiny is doing something she's not supposed to do, like being on the table, percy will whine until someone checks out what's wrong and catch her doing something bad. another thing he does is warn us about smoke. this is a new behavior. but while cooking the kitchen can tend to get a little smokey, especially if something is burning. if the smoke is bad enough he'll start whining and trying to direct you out of the house. it's so cute and amazing that he knows smoke means danger, such a smart cat. he understands how doors work and often tries to reach up at door handles to open a closed door, though he can never reach them, plus the lack of opposable thumbs is a problem.

there's definitely more weird behaviors my cats have, i just can't think of them at the moment

I sometimes petsit, and on occasion humorous things happen. For example, sometimes a dog's toy will go under the furniture, and they'll make a big production. There's a rottweiler who owns four thousand toys. But if the one she wants is out of reach, she'll whine until she gets it. Another time, my aunt and uncle's puppy couldn't get a toy from under the coffee table, and she got frustrated, starting to bark and growl at it.
My aunt's chihuahua is a crochety old lady when it comes to unfamiliar dogs. When they got a new puppy, it took a while for her to warm up to the idea of a new dog, Every time the poor creature came near, the chihuahua made a face like a possessed gremlin. And she still hates my cousin's dog. She throws a fit when he comes near. Huge doberman, but he just goes, "Nope, staying away from her."
A cat I sometimes care for loves her wet food. Once you have the can, there she is. She'll be trying to get the food while I'm still trying to scoop it into the bowl. She probably wouldn't care if I spooned it on her head. Honestly, she risks having it occur, because she's in such a hurry to stick her face in the food bowl. I try to block her from reaching the bowl until I'm finished getting it out of the can, which can be a challenge, because she's good at getting past me.
Once a cat tried licking my hair, but because of its length, she couldn't get it off her tongue. She struggled for a bit before I reached back and pulled the strands away from her tongue.
The rottweiler I petsit goes nuts when the TV is on. She'll jump up and down in front of it. If an animal is on the TV, sometimes it riles her up even more. While watching the animated film 'Anastasia', she went nuts whenever the dog barked or made an appearance.
While volunteering at the animal shelter, there was a cat that would drool while being petted. I mean, majorly drool, just dripping from his face.

So, I used to have a cat, but we got rid of her due to my sister's allergies. So, the cat's name was Luna, short for Lunatick because she was absolutely crazy. So, my mom has this fish tank in her room, and she would go and push the lid off and drink out of it, but she had a little water fountain, I think she just liked it cause it tasted like fish. And, she would NOT eat wet food at all. Then, our dog, omg, this is disgusting but LOVED to eat the cat's droppings.

Then before that, my mom raised wild squirrels that were babies that didn't have their parents. We had one squirrel that was an escape artist. He would watch us unlock the gate on the cage, then would wait till we left and open the gate. We would come home and look for him, and he was always in my mom's room under her pillow.

We had another dog, Max that would run in circles, then just flop down and play dead. My mom would always make him eggs, tuna, and rice for breakfast. He LOVED it. One day, she ran out of tuna, and she sat his plate down with rice and eggs, and he just at there and stared at my mom.

We used to have a lizard who had lots of tank space. Sadly she died becuse she had trouble shedding. But, she would poop on her wet hide walls somehow. Nobody knew how or why, but she pooped in her wet hide walls.
