Do your pets have strange behaviors?

[mrspunkysmom]

Emily likes laundry, clean or dirty. Usually she retrieves it and scatters laundry throughout the house while mewing like she's upset or calling for my attention. I don't know if she's looking for her former owner, if this is just what she does.

Needless to say, my laundry gets put away fast these days and the dirty stuff goes right in the hamper. She found a way to get to my dishcloths even those these were in a loosely knotted bag up high. I actually leave out some dishcloths for her to scatter about.

I tell ya, these critters got brains.

When ever I click my fingers or clap or come near One Down, or call him or something, or like point at him, he goes in a circle I don't know why, maybe he thinks its his job! He nearly always does that! Many times he gets so excited that when he turns around, he accidentally bumps his backside into something So I guess I'll vote that he has a strange behaviour

My Tuxedo Tinker will sit in or on anything circular. I have to get pics of this. Last night I came home and she was sitting directly inside a piece of cardboard that had a circle cut out of the middle. She wouldn't move so I had to set her canned food dinner in front of her.

If an extension cord is on the floor in a circular pattern she will sit or lay in it. I have put different things on the floor and just watched and waited for her to do this. My funny girl.

I had to vote that I'm the strange one! My pups don't really do anything strange - just typical dog stuff. Maybe one little strange thing from Sparky - he digs at the carpet like he's trying to dig a hole outside - tho he never even dug one outside! He does the same on the bed at night with the blanket, tho I think he's just trying to make his nest for the night.

Well, Domino has this thing where he scratched at the water bowl (or the carpet if he's drinking from his water bowl in my bedroom) before he drinks water. I don't know why, but he does.

Tallulah is pretty normal I think, I can't recall anything weird that she does off the top of my head.

Lily is also pretty normal, unless you consider cleaning herself like a cat and "talking" abnormal?

Oops - maybe Myndi isn't so normal afterall. She has a new little quirk which popped up about 6 months ago. She has to play a game of "bark at my food before I eat it". She'll go up to her bowl - sniff it - jump back from it and bark at it. She has to perform this ritual at least 3 or 4 times before she'll actually eat it. Maybe she's making sure that it's really dead!! I don't say "senile" in her presence.

And yes - she carries on conversations with her people too - like Lilly does.

Haha! That is cute. Lily barks at her own shadow sometimes .

Maybe the talking thing is a Pom thing .

Some of my cats can be a bit strange. Pearl likes to play with her tail like it's a toy. She'll sometimes even go in circles trying to chase it. I've only ever seem dogs doing this. I need to get a video of her doing this some time. I'm sure my cats have some other strange behaviors too I'll have to think more about it.

Domino does that too! I thought he was just a weirdo. He also plays with his feet.

The kitties that lived in my home used to chase each others tail I thought it was adorable! I made a video once too!

Blaze loves to sit in litter boxes. He usually sits in the uncovered ones but last night I also caught him sitting in one of the covered ones. He's done this since he was a kitten.

I have to now keep my kitchen towel knotted when I'm not home for a while or Alani will pull it down. Some times he'll also drag it some where.

When Alani & Blaze were kittens, they would get into the kitchen sink and take the mesh drain cover. I guess they thought it was another toy. Some times it would take me a while to find it. Luckily I think they've finally out grown this.

Ziggy used to put toy mice in the water bowls. I guess she thought they were thirsty.

Too funny. Casey used to do that with those huge Old Mother Hubbard biscuits. She would carry it in the room and toss it and then jump back and bark at it.

Silly puppers.

My one cat, Boris, loves to burrow into things, especially my underwear and sock drawers, lol. She'll dig all the nice neat piles of underwear or socks out onto the floor and make a little burrow for herself in the drawer!! The drawer doesn't have to be all the way open either, it can just be part way open, where you think she'd never get in. Then I find underwear or socks in other drawers or drawers underneath the original drawer! ARGH!!! She does look so content though, I can't get mad at her. She's just snuggles into a ball and goes to sleep.
