One of our pet rats loved my daughter. I saw him feeding her dog biscuit through the wire of his cage.
Adorable was my childhood dog Heidi, a St. Bernard. I was 3-4 years old. She would bring me a string of twine and I would ride her around the backyard like a horse. When she was done playing horse, she'd sit down in front of my tiny chair so I would slide into it then turn around and lick my face. First thing in the morning, I'd wake to her in my room holding that little twine rope in her mouth. Despicable was the Siamese cats we had at the time. We had a plate rail around the inside of the kitchen. They would get on the plate rail and jump on Heidi's back when Heidi came through the doorway. They'd dig in their claws and ride her until she scraped them off. Heidi started refusing to come into the house because she was afraid of them. We ended up having to get rid of Heidi during a blizzard (went to a neighbor so I could still visit) because she wouldn't come in from the snow. Its been decades and I still hate Siamese cats more than everything else.
I had a very old and very sick dog euthanised, buried her and planted a large tree over her. One of my other dogs dug her up (about 2 months later) and partially ate her.......I found her out in the paddock munching on the decaying carcass. I reburied her in a spot where the dogs were unable to get to her. Took the muncher to the vet just to be safe. Sigh. Now I cremate.....
My two kittens, Ebony and Shadow, once got into our ceiling through the top of an unfinished closet. Unfortunately, our ceiling was a drop ceiling with panels. Even more unfortunately, when they eventually stepped wrong, broke a panel, and fell through the ceiling, they fell through right on top of our fish tank. Everyone ended up okay, including the fish, but the tank needed a new lid, heater, and filter.
The day I brought my cat home to my mom's house I turned around for 10 seconds and when I looked back all I saw was 2 orange legs sticking out of the fireplace chimney. I ran over and pulled him out just in time but he was completely covered in soot. So I took my half black half orange cat over to the sink and hosed him off then we blocked the fireplace.
My half-feral rescue Skywalker likes to snuggle on my belly when I'm in bed (but I'm only allowed to pet with one hand). After having major abdominal surgery, I showed him my stomach with all the sutures and bruising each day, thinking he'd understand and stay off. Which he did. For two weeks.
Then he decided it was time to launch off my dresser and use my stomach as his landing pad. I screamed and nearly hit the ceiling. He panicked and ran. Eventually I fell asleep, and when I woke up, he was lying on my stomach, purring with dogged determination, the way cats do when they're trying to help you heal an injury. He gave me this sweet look like, "see, Mom, I'm helping!"
I gently pushed him off, because his weight was enough to still hurt, and he bit me and stomped away. And he's never snuggled on my belly since then, not in four years. Now he lays on my legs.
So, adorable or despicable? I choose the cat not understanding you're in pain temporarily.
So, my sister was visiting with her dog. Her dog likes cat food, so we had to put my cat's food on the table. My cat likes dog food, so we had to put that bowl behind a shut door. So, one evening I find the cat has snuck in to the room and is chowing down. I pick her up and take her to show her that she has tasty cat food. Only to discover the dog has knocked the bowl off the table and is eating the cat food. So I put my cat down and get the cat food away from the dog. Now I can finally go eat my dinner. I head back to my room to find my cat raced back there and is eating my chicken.
My cat Fubar plays fetch! He'll pick a toy out of his basket and drop it on my foot and stare at me until I throw it. He does this so often that I've gotten to the point where I don't even look down, I just grab and throw. One day I grabbed and was halfway through my throw when I thought it felt kinda damp. Right after I let go, I realized it was half of a deceased rodent. Pretty sure my screech of disgust is still echoing in space somewhere.
When he was younger, my cat used to go and poop when angry at us or is generally in bad mood. Maybe he understood that this is unpleasant for us( kids used to leave the room).
Anyway, one day my daughter’ s teacher and the special needs teacher come to their annual visit. The cat disliked them immediately, retreated to his corner, and the moment I served tea, he went and squeezed the smelliest poop ever. I immediately ushered the teachers to another room, away from the smell. Nope. The cat opened all doors, sat next to me and nonchalantly proceeded to clean his behind. The teachers felt very uncomfortable and left very soon.
Adorable thing…when some of the kids are crying, he would come and sit next to them, pressing his little body as if to say” I’m here, calm down!”
Had a pair of boots ($600.00 USD) until our new rescue puppy chewed them up. That was 8 years ago. He's turned out to be a good boy.
My dog was a sweet girl. But she loved human food. So, one time making dinner, I made bacon. While bringing the food to the table I already knew I had to put the meat in a safe place. So I placed them at the end of the countertop thinking she couldn't reach it. Boy, I was wrong... She ate 3 of them.... She was very thirsty the whole evening And when she was a puppy she chewed a big hole in our new couch.
1. Ate PhP 1,000 (around 18 USD but still, it's the highest denomination in my country). Shredded it to bits that the bank told me they can't replace it :')
2. Ate the straps of our slippers but only the left ones so it's all unusable (it was a phase, I already forgave him)
3. Chewed my eyeglasses. It was too late for me to stop him, I just heard him chewing something crunchy under our sofa. I cried a little then accepted my fate.
I still wouldn't trade him for the world. Love you, Utoy.
P.S. "Utoy" in Tagalog (I'm from the Philippines) is usually a nickname for young boys or those boys who are the littlest of the bunch. My Utoy turned out to be the biggest of our 3 dogs lol.
All 4 of them.....Despicable? They went to Rainbow Bridge before I was ready. I knew they wouldn't live as long as I wanted, but I wanted them around a lot longer than they were. Adorable? They were in my life, which made me happy every day.
Well, recently he took an Easter decoration off of a shelf and tore it to shreds...in his defense it DID look like a dog toy. I dropped a corn cob while I was cooking and when I went to pick it up I couldn't find it anywhere, I thought I was going crazy. A week later my husband found a corn cob buried next to the trees in our backyard. That was a ninja move though because I didn't even hear him come in the kitchen.
My sister and I would always fight over who was the dog's favorite. She would whistle at him, which would clearly win him over, I however cannot whistle. What did I do? I played the beginning of "The Stranger" by Billy Joel. Guess who the new favroite is!
My corgi Faye used to steal things off my bedside table. She would get in trouble for it. When we got a new puppy she would steal things and give them to him to get him in trouble.
My dog bites (not aggressively) if he doesn't get tummy rubs when he rolls over
If you stop rubbing our dogs belly she would touch your hand immediately with her nose, staring at you until you continue.
When I still lived with my mom, early 2021, she adopted a Boston Terrier puppy.
And he'd whimper when he'd want me to pick him up so he could sleep on my lap, and get some of my body heat.
Well, one time he let out a silent but deadly fart, and he turned his head into my stomach. I took a smell, and I realized he farted, but he had a very smug smile on his face. He knew what he did, lol.
And if you've never been around a Boston Terrier before, their farts are one of the foulest smells imaginable.
Too much adorableness from both of them to pick out a single one but one of my dogs did do something that one woman found to be rather despicable. I was walking my pups on the local heath when I stopped to talk to another dog walker. While we were chatting Rocky, my terrier x spaniel rescue dog came running out of the bushes with a dead Grey Squirrel in his mouth and looking very pleased with himself. He then dropped the squirrel on the path and proceeded to tear it apart in front of us and eat it. I thought the woman was going to faint or be sick but she didn't stay and chat any longer, she just walked off muttering. Rocky enjoyed his squirrel though. It is funny that my other dog Toby who is a Pug x Jack Russel has no hunting instinct at all, he just likes to sit and watch the wildlife in my garden while Rocky tries to catch and eat it.
Please do not let your pet eat animals that are already dead. Of course I am talking about animals in the wild, not the food at home. You never know how the animal has died. Natural cause, poisoning, disease...?
The most lovable things my various cats have done is snuggle up with me to sleep. One liked to lie on my chest as I read in bed and purr, dribbling. She and another liked to wiggle in under the blankets when it was cold until they were all warmed up, their icy little beans on my warm body. One, as a kitten, liked to sleep on my pillow with her paws entangled in my hair.
The most despicable things they have done were to poo on my bed (while I was in it!) and also bringing live rodents into the house (because it was hot outside and I had the AC on), and releasing them, then being totally uninterested in hunting down said rodents. Live traps have not captured anything yet.
So when we 1st had Grae'son (supposed to be a foster) my mountain sized husband would cry to me about how the new pup was beating him up 🤔 Really? This little pup is beating You up? 🤣 But this pup would only do this on the left side of my husband's chest/torso... The morning my husband passed away, I'm on the phone with emergency services while trying to do chest compressions on my husband... My boy was trying too! Now I understand what our pup was trying to do. Also, I sleepwalk. Not every night but often enough for this dog to sleep on my legs.
Our dog girl is not interested in our shoes. No biting, no hiding... but there is one slipper of mine which I had sewn a few years ago. Actually, that one is older than her but it is her shoe now. I cannot tell how it came to this behaviour but everytime we come home from our walkies she would go to our shoe shelf and picking her shoe out of it. Sometimes she just stands there with this shoe in her mouth, looking to us or she comes to us and places the shoe in front of us. So we take the shoe, hide a treat inside and because it is completely made of fabric, you can fold it and stuck it together so it becomes a little ball. She takes it and plays with it until the treat comes out of it and can be eaten. After that the shoe is not longer relevant and I store it with our shoes.
Out on the town to enjoy the first jazz concert of the season... In the middle of the first song, my phone vibrated obnoxiously. Pulling it out, I glance down and see: "THE DOGS GOT INTO YOUR WEED!!" Thinking it must be a badly-timed prank because MY dogs just wouldn't do something like that. At least they never had. And they were only alone for 20 minutes. It was NOT a prank. Got home to find the "secure, childproof" dispensary (legal green) bag and several pouches of gummies torn to shreds and consumed alongside a number of bags of dog treats. All completely decimated. Final analysis: My 85-pound Olde English Bulldogge had imbibed on no less than 150MG of THC! A few calls and research let me know the facts and what to watch for but it wasn't poison to her. And I will never forget the next few hours just watching. It felt like I was watching a drunk teenager that had to learn the hard way despite Mom's lessons. Constantly shaking my head and holding in giggles because you know what they are in for.
Letting me know that it was his time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I held him to my heart and told him I loved him as he crossed.
Well my brother was eating breakfast and my cat, Tuffy, stole a piece of bacon from right under his nose, dragged it into a corner, and ate all of it. He was very proud of himself!
One time, one of my cats was in our laundry room. We have shelves in there with some tools and blankets and extra clothes etc. The cat got up onto the shelves and knocked off them in this order, laundry detergent, which burst open and spilled everywhere, a box of pencils, which all fell out in the fall, and an open box of nails. Result: Slippery land mine of a laundry room.
Something so weirdly similar happened to me; I have 4 cats and we put them in the laundry room at night because we have two dogs, and only one is not at all chill with our cats' existences, so every single time he sees them, he starts whining and shrieking to the gods. Anyway, in the laundry room, we keep our extra cleaning supplies and such, and we keep them in boxes up on some cupboards above our washing machines. My cats like to jump up there to sleep on a small sliver of shelf that was not covered (apparently they prefer hard wood over a soft bed, idk). One of my cats was sleeping up there, and another jumped up to take that spot, not knowing another cat was there. They bashed into one of the boxes, and before we knew it, soap, lotion, laundry detergent, and hair conditioner was all over the floor. I guess this is a normal occurrence for cat owners lol.
Our dog, as a young dog, ate one of every pair of shoes we had. Not all at once but one one day another the next. Until I had to stop on the way to work and buy shoes. All we could figure was she didn't think it mattered if she didn't chew up both of them. lol. That was a long time ago. She's gone now. She ended up being the best and smartest dog ever when she was older. We still miss her.
