Just like the title says!
Tell me about a time your misbehaving pet got into trouble- the funnier, the better!

When my dog was a baby (he was a pandemic puppy, so we were home to watch him pretty much all the time), he had a bit of a weight problem. Nothing too major, just a bit of chonk.
Well, we had no idea how he was getting so chubby, since he got the vet-recommended meal sizes, two meals a day, of nice, (over)expensive kibble. He does tend to inhale his food- he often gave himself the hiccups- but we made sure to only give him his fair share.
We try slow-feeder bowl, but he just flips it over (he’s a border collie, and too smart for his own good). We switch his food (twice), to no avail. We have pretty much exhausted every option, and he’s still a little chubster.
The mystery is finally solved one day, when I’m reading in the dining room, and I see him walk over to his food bin, FLIP IT OPEN WITH HIS NOSE, and begin stuffing his face. So, we get a new food bin with a more securely locking lid, and put it up high, and he slowly goes back to a healthy weight.
He’s older now, and not so greedy, but it still makes me laugh to remember.
TL/DR: We can’t figure out why the dog is gaining weight until I see him open his food bin with his nose and begin gorging himself.
Smart dogs are impossible. I have one who's just smart enough to figure everything out and understand waaay too much english for her own good and just dumb enough to be scared shitless by stairs. F*****g stairs. She starts screaming and needs to be carried up and down them, which is a problem cause she's a very strong working line black lab and will kick you and squirm while you're carrying her. She also then wants to go back up/down the stairs in about five minutes. She's not the easiest to deal with
It was not funny for him, but it's my favorite memory of him.😂
I had this beautiful black-smoke kitten called Artham. I ended up giving him away to a loving family because I already had 2 other cats.
Anyway, so one day someone was staining (like dark varnish) a wood shelf on our porch and the stain can was sitting on a paint sheet on the railing of the porch. Of course, Artham was curious, so he decided to climb the sheet. The stain can tipped off, and dumped on him. He was quick, but it soaked his whole backside.
I know cats. No matter how yucky the substance is, they will lick it off. This stuff probably would have killed him.
I spent like an hour shampooing and hosing him off while my brother held him with leather gloves and Artham screamed bloody murder.🤣
Whatever residue was left must have started drying a bit, because when we were done, he bum-scooted across the driveway while we laughed at him.
Thankfully he was perfectly fine.
My cat Cinder can open the cabinets using her paw. Baba Yaga has not figured out how to do this. She has no finesse and instead relies on her brute strength. She's ripped! So this big beast will body slam herself into the cabinet causing the door to bounce open.
3 of our cats can open the cabinets and we have this joke that those 3 are rats so we call the cabinets 'rat tunnels'
I have a picture of our pet cat.
Sonny he has passed on now.
But he is standing almost nose with a nurture. For those who don't know what one is its almost like a 🦫
My cat is normally really calm and peaceful but she likes to walk directly in front of our feet when we walk so she gets kicked
My sister's cat would run circles around my mom whenever my mom fed her and so she would always get (accidently) kicked by my mom
