One of my cats put a city cop in the ER a long time ago. Aside from that nothing special.

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...

Ok I would vote this to be the weirdest on here so far

My dad's cat will take a rubber bouncy ball to the top of the stairs, drop it and watch it bounce all the way down. the cat would then go get the ball, carry it back to the top of the stairs and drop it again. she would do this for hours on end sometimes.

I used to own a cat named Oracle. i would ask her for a prophecy and she would meow at me for like two minutes straight. could get her to do it almost every time

my dingo/mutt (sandy) has got a taste for live flesh...mice, birds, rats, you name it she eats it, (street dog as a puppy)

ny beagle/border collie, shorty is as belligerent as hell, but when Abbadon (my toad) goes anywhere near him he hides under his paws

My dog, more when she was a puppy than now, when there's something in her water, will look it at it very intently, stare it down, and then proceed to stick her nose in her water and blow bubbles. When she was a puppy she'd do this for 15 minutes straight before drinking any of the water.

Also, we trained her to go to her kennel on command, and so when we had another dog living with us for a while(a Berger Picard/Blue Heeler that was... Insane), Isabelle, we would call for them to kennel and they would go from upstairs RACING downstairs to try and get into the kennel first, and you could just hear the yips and whines coming from Isabelle as she went down. Sometimes she would even sleep in there to ensure she got in first.

As well as that, Isabelle won't chase cars, but she will chase car's headlights reflecting on the ceiling. And she will chase light made by movies, basically anything that looks shiny. But usually not the object itself.

Most of my pets have been normal except for a dog who, as we left the house for a walk, hated walking to the right, we always had to walk her by taking the left hand turn out of the drive.

I had a Staffordhire Bull terrier who I could take out to the shops and the park by slinging her over my shoulder like a sack of spuds!

As well as her harness and lead she had a knotted rope which she would bite down on and never let go. I would pick up the other end of the rope and just pick her up.

I recently took care of my Aunt's dog which was left at my other Aunt's house down the shore for two days (confusing ain't it?)

I was the only one the dog terrorized in a friendly manner whenever she needed to go outside to poop. The strange thing about it was that she didn't want to poop all at once and pulled me around the entire neighborhood where she could launch her multiple, simultaneous, but not so defensive "deep strikes"

my philipino dog shoves his head in tight spaces a goes to sleep. once i pulled him out but he woke up and shoved his head back in and kept sleeping. i have a picture but i lost it.

I forgot to mention my dog goes ballistic when I play with one of those hex bug nanos, I guess the little motor drives him nuts.

My cat pretty much talks. Whenever he wants something, he meows as if he were speaking in a sentence, and it almost makes sense, too.

...the dachsund's name was Tupac...

...No, I'm not joking, my step bro was into Rap when the dog was born from another dachsun named Sneezer...that alone should count as strange...

Anyway, I distinctly remember having an argument with my cousin over whether Egypt was in Africa or not...(stupid? yes...but she was convinced this was not the case) I went to my room, got my globe and brought it out to show her...

Sure enough, Tupac, upon seeing the spherical object, hightailed it off of the couch and ran into my stebro's room and we didn't see him again until dinner that night...

our cat will do anything you want, my sister wears her like a scarf sometimes. the cats like a floppy-potato-pirate/parate-thing.

Im not quite sure if this counts as odd but my cat silvester must think he is a dog as he comes for walkes wether its the shop or the pub he will walk with me .............

also he sleeps oddly i think he will sleep on his back with his paws in the air and talking about sleeping he has made our spare room his own and that is the only place he will sleep

my dog demands that I play with her every morning and evening, tackling and such. she also makes speaking noises.

My sisters dog would "mount" random objects around the house (footstools, pillows, blankets, stuff like that).

my dog (the male one) humped a blanket once.


he also had a habit o ftaking this massive 5 foot tall stuffed bear, tearing a bit out and savaging it (usually the throat) and then hump it like crazy.

My cat eats green an red peppers haha.

That's not that weird.

so? my dogs eat watermelons, mangos, and lettuce, not really strange at all. and a bit of advice: do not post 'hahaha' at the end of your post without proper punctuation, or else you are committing heresy against Darko.

What's that kettle your caller I.D. says Pot is calling?

Hey! I was trying to give someone some advice. Shut it you.

I was talking about the punctuation thing. After all:

I meant this:

my dog eats walnuts hahaha

you should right this.

My dog sometimes eats walnuts.

Alright man,calm down i just posted a simple comment...

I am just the Supreme Grand Master of Darko's cult. Were a greater Daemon of Darko himself here...

Well don't go spouting on and on about it here, you know how the mods feel about derailing the conversation...

lets see, what oether things have my multiple pets done strangely?

My raterrier Zoey will chase her tail...

Not strange right? She does it for a few moments and then stops, looks around, does it again. Repeat process for about ten minutes at a time...she will do this so much she gets dizzy and falls over, sometimes she even gets sick because of it...

Thats something I don't understand about animals...they do some things that will hurt them physically over and over again...why?

I used to have a cat that would follow me around and look at me for hours of end, i facinated that cat, anyway, when i first got my xbox after playing for about 12 hours i awoke the next morning to find that cat pawing the xbox pad. Weird huh?

My cat must have been a dog in a past life, as he drinks out of the toilet. He also has an obsession with knocking breakables off high places. Like my models (sniff...)

...my toad seems to want to be a PJ.

every time I am hosing out the gutter and he is near, he will intentionally jump into the maelstrom.

(hoses are extremely powerful here)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know why he does it, because amphibians are attracted to flowing water, they're suckers for it. My firebelly toads used to all gather under the waterfall filter because they loved the feel of the water hitting their backs, that's how I would sneak a cage cleaning in, they'd be distracted by it, while I scoop up their poop and dead bugs, and do a 25% water change, every week, and they were none the wiser.
