After catching my cat in the sink, again, I'm wondering what strange things does your pet do? Here is a picture of it:

Your picture is broken.

Strangest thing my cat ever did was walk in front of our old gas fire, turned around to face myself, bro and mum who were all sat on the sofa's on the other side of the room and managed to stick his tail into the fire through the gap of the grill.

He then stayed there meowing at us with smoke coming off his tail because he thought we were tweeking the tip of his tail (my bro used to do it constantly to him when ever he stuck his tail up in the air) Dumb cat

I used to have a shih-tzu and and when he was a puppy, he loved going into our backyard to the point where he'd wait silently for someone to open a door to the backyard and then spring out that door when it had opened...

Anyway, as a puppy, the dog loved to roll down a small hill in the backyard. He would run to the top of the hill, lay down and roll back down it. He'd repeat this process, sometimes almost for an hour on end. I would often watch him confusedly not knowing whether he was trying to have fun or it was just some other instinct dogs have.

-shrugs- He stopped doing it when he got older, but that was the strangest thing I've ever seen any of my pets do.

My ferret thinks he is a professional wrestler. When he plays with his brother he often scales the side of the cage about 2 feet up and then does a back flip off landing on his brother.

My cat is a dead weight. Wherever she sleeps, if you need her moved, its going to be a pain in the ass. If you try moving her, she goes dead limp and it takes some doing pushing her off of things. She likes to lay at the end of our bed at night, an obviously is partially on either me or my wife, and if you try to move her so you can get comfy, she does that friggin thing again, where you pretty much have 2 choices, deal with her laying on you, OR shove her completely off the bed.

Its funny sometimes but other times its like damn kitty, MOVE!

If you put a bloody steak and a piece of tissue paper in front of my dog, he will eat the tissue paper first. He loves eating tissue paper.

**KingCracker**

now THAT is funny

**warpcrafter**

Both my cats are terrified of trash bags. Just rattling one near them is enough to make them flee.

**biccat**

My cat for a while loved to play 'fetch.' She had a favorite toy that she would bat around the house. When she wanted to play, she would walk up and drop it in your lap then run down the hallway, crouch, and wait for you to throw it.

I learned to sleep with my hands under the covers because otherwise she would drop the toy into your hand and then bat at your fingers until you woke up and threw the thing.

My dog used to chase the fighter jets that flew overhead, doesn't help that those were the tomcats the navy was using.

We also had a German Shepherd who was like a guard dog, he could break panels of glass with his tail too. Anyways, he would bark at strangers unless they were in police uniform. Although if a robber broke in and had a flashlight, he would just look at the light and stare at wherever it was. One time we stood a flashlight up at the ceiling and turned it on, he stared at it for a full 30 minutes. Then whenever he went for a ride in the car he would always sit upright in one of the seats, we had to buckle him in just to keep him safe.

my dog Megan has OCD.

you can move a candle on the mantle two inches to the left, and the dog will pick it out instantly and bark at it. Anything at all in house which is "out of place" will freak her out...

some times its funny to mess with her, but usually we are like "get over it dog!"

**MrDwhitey**

My dog dug a hole through the utility room door.

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

My current roomie's cats are pretty strange. One will slip it's paw under the door and bat your ankles when you're using the bathroom or jump in the tub after anyone showers. Both of them are horrified of instruments of any kind for some reason too.

**Coolyo294**

My Dachshund thinks she's a cat. She even caught a mouse once!

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Our dog, a female Lab called Jaina, seems to have a bit of a self flagellating personalty.

When ever she has done something wrong, ie eaten something she shouldn't have, grabbed clothes she shouldn't have and generally occasional things which she has been taught as wrong. If you look at her with a certain raised eyebrow, show her the evidence, or use a certain tone with an accusatory 'whats this?' she immediately darts to her cage in the Kitchen and lies down until we call her out.

It's like a self inflicted taking the naughty step moment. Whats funny is, if she hasn't done anything wrong, and you just use the tone, she'll look at you mildly concerned, probably trying to figure what she has done.. but won't run off.

We used to send her to the cage when she was younger if naughty, but its just weird, funny, she goes herself now that shes older.

Lately she's also been taking pieces of Aurelia's clothing to where ever she is sleeping, doesn't chew them, just lies on them as if a comfort blanket.

My two shih tzus think they're cats, in that they will lay anywhere in the house they want. Their favorite spot is on the couch - but not normally on the couch. They'll jump up and sit right on top of the back couch cushions.

Other favorites: the little niche in the entertainment center (Which sits about 3 feet off the ground and holds a candle), inside paper bags from the grocery store, underneath the bed, in the gap between the entertainment center and the wall, and inside clothes baskets.

What gets really interesting to watch is when the one dog goes behind the entertainment center - he'll go in headfirst, get partway in, and then lift himself up on two paws to turn around in order to lay down.

My dog throws his toys into places he can't reach (or can reach but doesn't want to) and whines at us until we get the toy for him. He seems to think fetch works the other way around.

My old dog also ate a good part of a (plaster) wall once. My parents plastered u[ the wall using chilly powder because they heard the dog would leave it alone if the wall was spicy

...

Lets just say that dog must've loved curries... he went back to the wall with renewed vigour!

**Skycrawler**

My two siberian huskies love to chase small animals. problem is we live right next to a small patch of woods AND a field so we get squirrels rabbits, you know normal woodland critters, and we also get field mice really bad. God forbid if you're in between them and any of the aforementioned creature. i still have scars from where they slammed me into the counter with enough force to crack it.

This.

I have a black Labrador that does this with his ball. Constantly.

So. Annoying.

**Sasori**

My JRT likes to kill wild rabbits that wander into our back yard. I guess that's not really strange though.

He will chase and run around and bark at squirrels till he goes into heat exhaustion though...

**FITZZ**

My dog has done what I refer to as the " I see nothing" bit since he was a puppy.
By this I mean he will stick his head into or under things ( my boots when he was a pup/ under the bed or a blanket now that he's grown) and go to sleep...
The rest of his body is clearly visable ..but his head..hidden.
...I think all the horror movies I watch have somehow traumatized him.

**Matt070**

One of my dogs is scared of pretty much everything, chased him round the house and garden with a piece of paper once. One of my cats sings when you sing to her (joins in by meowing) and my other cat gives high fives.
.. the cats kinda put the dogs to shame in our house

**mega_bassist**

My ex took the cat, dog, and the bird

...b*tch...

But, at least I have my pet corn snake! He tries to get out of his tank, but that's about it...his failure is quite commical

**lord commissar klimino**

one of my dogs will chase any light source coming from something your holding. its pretty funny.

my other dog lifts up his back leg when on his side when you get close. its very weird. he is the only dog ive ever seen do this. he seems to want you to pet him but if so why not just roll onto his back? why only give access to the one spot that we wont pet? crazy perverted dog.

he also chases my other dog when she chases lights.

**halonachos**

We have a dog now who's a beagle/basset mix, and stands maybe about 1 and maybe a half tall, either way he's incredibly short. We have a stove that is about a foot across and a foot wide and stands 4 feet tall. One night we set a pot of boiled chicken on the backburner of the stove and headed off to church thinking it was safe, we go to evening mass. We come back and the pot is on the floor with not a single piece of chicken left, we also have two miniature dachshunds who probably helped him clean it out, but that's not the point. The thing is, he would've had to jump up onto the counter to get the pot down in the first place. We made him stand on his hind legs and when we did he could only get his front paws to the front top of the stove so it would be impossible for him to grab the pot from the floor.

He did the same to some chicken thawing in the sink too, same basic measurements that should've prevented him from getting to the chicken but he did.

My step bro used to have a red colored, longhaired dachsund that was afraid of round things. Specifcally round things...

He was fine with vaccum cleaners, even fire crackers and gunshots, but if you got a balloon, a beach ball, a pokeball...whatever, near him, the dog would run to the nearest bed and hide under it for the next half hour...

*slow clap* Good one...

No, he was fine with women...

**remilia_scarlet**

My doberman is deathly afraid of my cat, and since my cat is black, like my bed sheets, he blends in. When my cat is laying on the bed, he'll jump up (the doberman) , look closely, and if he's there, he'll run like hell.

My cat is weird too, he like to stick his tongue out a lot, just a little of his tongue. I'm often afrid he'll bite it or something.

**Sam__theRelentless**

My two dogs are both equally crazy... they're from the same litter, yet when she runs whining inside the house when there's a massive thunderstorm, he sits outside, completely oblivious to either rain or thunder or lightning.

But he's not deaf... or maybe he is, we're not too sure

Also, we kept some fish for a family friend once, and they all jumped out one by one
