Reply With QuoteMy old dog punctured a beer can with her teeth and drank out of it. It quickly became her favorite thing to do.
I don't really mean out of the ordinary pets, but rather, pets that do weird things. Example, here are some pictures of my kitten Chloe eating mostaccioli. She loves it! Yep. She loves her pasta. And her peas. And applesause, and lemon pudding, and chicken noodle soup, tortilla chips, cheese it crackers, pumpkin pie, low fat Pringles. She begs for food like a dog. She will sit at your feet and if you don't give her some and watch her closely, she will most likely jump up and just take it.
So the last few days I have been home sick and sleeping much of the time. Yesterday I decided to use this cat to my advantage and get some entertainment. I have taught her to sit on command. Well, on command as long as I am holding a plain mostaciolli noodle. I am now going to start working on shaking her paw. My uncle had taught his cat to roll over on command so I know this can be done. As soon as she gets the shake command down, I am going to go on to that roll over thing and then maybe bigger and better things, like..."Go get the mail", or "make dinner".
So what weird things do your pets do or eat? What kind of bizarre tricks have you taught them? Does anyone have a trained cat? Does anyone have a cat that uses the toilet like Jinx? I have read this - they put the litter box on the toilet and then IN the toilet (like a potty seat thing) and then slowly remove the litter part and Voila! I bet I could get Chloe to do this, but Max would tell me to wake him up when I get real.

My Doberman would hold a treat on her nose and wait for the OK to flip it up and catch it in her mouth. She would sit there and hold a treat for hours if I let her. She'd be whining the whole time, though. She was also good at not taking something she was told not to take. I could put a steak on the floor and tell her to leave it and she would lay down so her nose was alomst touching it and whimper and whine until she was told she could have it. Now if there was something she wanted and she had not been told not to have it, that was a different story. She learned how to open the refrigerator and she would eat a whole package of lunchmeat while I was at work. I had to get one of those baby locks for the fridge and the cabinets to keep her from snooping around.
My mom and stepdad had a Soft Coated Wheaton that ate two pounds of chocolate. A friend of theirs was a caterer and used to make turtles and peanut butter cups and put a pound or so in a box and give them at XMas time. My mom had a box of each and left them under the tree. We had gone out and when we came home, she was going to have one and could not find the boxes. Then she found part of one of the boxes...and a little bit of tissue paper. She looked over at the Wheaton (who was this nice light tan color) and saw chocolate all over her mouth. One walk over to the dog and one big whiff of chocolate and peanut butter from her breath was all it took to know she ate all the candy and almost all the boxes it came in. She was not a real bright dog. She was even too stupid to get sick from all of it. I thought for sure she was gonna die from chocolate poisoning. Cute dog she was, real sweet tempered...but dumb as a rock!

THL, dobes are the best.
My grandfather used to have one that was just plain awesome. I looked forward to visiting my grandparent's house just because of that dobe. Great breed. I want one when I get older.
And 2 lbs of chocolate?!!
For a small breed like the wheaton terrier, that would have definetly been fatal. Lucky dog.

I had a California Kingsnake that was just the coolest thing in the world. He had all sorts of misadventures. For instance, Cali-Kings are black and white striped, and when he blended in with the newspaper he blended in perfectly with the newspaper, which we threw out into the trash. We turned the house upside down looking for him, but to no avail. Four months and a winter later, we found him in my backyard, calmly drinking water from a puddle. As for things he's been stuck in: a doorjam, the little hole where the seatbelt goes into, brickworks, a chest of drawers, and the sink.

I dont know if my GSD is weird, but he sure is funny. He likes to drink water straight from the washbasin. take a look..Whenever he is in need of water, he runs to the basin and barks. Whoever opens the tap and closes it after he is finished, gets a 'thank you' bark.

Hammer that is hilarious!
leibstandarte: I had a Mexican Black Kingsnake. I alone at home at night and my cats were making this growling noise at the heating register...the kind that are in the wall, but at the floor. They were really freaking me out so I looked to see what they saw in the wall and and I freaked out and called the police. So they came along with the fire department. About an hour later, one of the police officers came to me and told me to remain calm but they have found a large snake in the wall. I screamed, ran to the room where I kept the reptiles and saw that she had gotten out of her cage. The police officer followed me until he saw that he was entering a room full of snakes and lizards. I turned and was yelling at them to be careful because I was trying to breed her and they all thought I was nuts. They took her out of the wall with snake tongs and handed her to me.
I felt like an idiot for letting my own pet scare me.

I have found a few more things the kitten eats: Cheetos (TopHat will be in bliss over this one) and pancakes. She is sitting at my daughters feet right now eating pancakes. Hers are, of course, without butter or syrup because it would just be weird to give a cat syrup, I think. Plus then I would have to clean that out of her whiskers.Originally Posted by TopHatsLiberal
