Pets with strange habits....

[SnowyzMom]

I have a lab/retriever cross dog that does NOT retrieve. But I have a cat that does! She loves pipecleaners and when I do crafts, tries to walk off with them wholesale. Last night I gave her two 6 inch long leftover pieces. I twisted them round my finger into spirals and she began chirping and got all ready. I tossed one and she tore after it, "killed" it, carried it right back to me in her mouth and waited for me to toss it again.

As soon as I pick up the pipecleaner spiral again she's off the couch and crouched ready to spring once I throw it over her head into the kitchen. She doesn't do this once or 3 or 4 times like most cats who then get bored, but 10-15 times in a row. She did it alot last night, then presented me with one spiral this morning for another session. She's done this before too. I'm just wondering what interesting behaviours some of your pets have? It would make interesting reading.

see if you can get her to do the same with socks... then when you drop them while taking the washing out... she'll be right behind you with the dropped sock (there is always one!)


anyway - you just read our bunny thread!

My lovebird, Norma Jeane, has a lot of interesting habits!

She is very protective of her cage and if I even try to touch her food bowl, she'll bite! She hates it when someone invades her space and will not hesitate to bite! In her cage, she has a little house and a towel folded inside it. At night, she goes into her house and sleeps. Sometimes, she'll crawl under the towel as if it was a blanket.

Once, I was feeding my cat and Norma Jeane flew down to his food bowl and nipped him on the nose! Now, my cat is afraid of the bird! She'll even chase after him!!

Norma Jeane's favorite place is the bathroom because she can admire herself in the mirror. She loves to destroy the brushes, so every time she's in the bathroom the brushes have to be hiden away from her. She'll sometimes crawl inside a T-shirt or towel hanging on the towel rack and explore the inside of it. When she's mad, she'll puff up and start mumbling to herself.

I also had a cat that thought she was a dog. She would retrieve empty cigarette packs forever. We couldn't keep her out of the car. She loved to go for rides. She also liked to go jogging with my ex.

My brother had a cat that would, after a rain, repeatedly bring him worms so he could feed his fish. This I could not believe until I actually witnessed it.

My friends cat chases its tail. Hence the name Dizzy (aka Dizzbo)He acts completely like a dog! He is sooo funny! And then her other cat (Conker) willl, completely of his own free will, sit up on the couch like a human, and appear to be watching TV!
