What strange habit does your pet has?

Thomas asks to get out the back door then sits on the step waiting for Dreamies.
Then comes back in through the bedroom window and repeats the whole process.
Not sure if he’s just a clever Dreamie fiend or if he’s forgetting things!

Next door's cat killed a pigeon in my garden and ate the head but left the body. It must have taken it several minutes to crunch through the skull. It would have been a lot easier just to eat a soft part of the body.

Should I go on……🤦‍♂️ 😁

Tara runs off to grab a toy when I mention we're going for a walk.
If I stamp my feet she'll stamp hers too 😂

Wee Ollie cat always wants to be with us 🥰
Hubby and I went for a cycle this afternoon on the e bikes.
Ollie was on the driveway so we “legged it” at speed down the street.
Looked back, only to see Ollie running at full pelt in the middle of the road after us 😬
Pulled into the side of the road then walked him home.
Set off again and he thankfully stayed put.
Such a wee character 😻

2 year old Dutch Herder cross likes to eat bees, forever telling her off so she likes to lurk out of sight by the fig tree and wait for them.

I've got Cats that would sooner sleep on the cold Slate tiles than in the 'Cat Beds' Maz keeps buying.
Also my old GSD was psychic, if I put my boots and coat on to go to the shops he didn't move but if I did exactly the same with the idea of taking him out he knew, this wasn't at specific times and I didn't do anything different, now if he'd got excited when I picked up the 'Dog Walking Bag' (containing Scooper and Bags, Ball. some treats and 'wet wipes' etc)

Can 2nd that with the psychic ability, Shiloh Dutch Herder/GSD is exactly the same. Obviously very clever and can pick up on different body language even if we think we're not giving off signals.

Not pets nor strange behaviour but every few weeks in my garden I'll find a circle of feathers a couple on meters in diameter, but no body anywhere. My guess is buzzards catching a pigeon and as it's open enough area (where the circle of feathers is they start consuming their prey on the ground then fly off with the carcass.

Never seen it happen though do sometimes see the buzzard sitting in a tree (at least until UK Power Networks drove them away).

Wee Ollie cat likes to sometimes sleep in the boiler cupboard.
He sneaks out during the night to make mischief 😈
Get up some mornings to see he’s been in various cupboards and high shelves and knocked things onto the ground.
He’s wrecked our bedroom curtains and the living room blinds had to go to the tip 😬
Can’t get annoyed as he’s so cute and a real character 💕

Guinea pigs stay up very late. Often the hedgehog is about when they finally go into their hutch.

 

[Mrs M]

Our hedgehog is out and about during the night eating the cat food we put out, cats don’t bother but Oscar (dog) is always on high alert

My in-laws previous dog (whippet - labrador cross) really liked Bonio's, but not to eat. Instead he would parade around with them in his mouth like it were a prized toy. Eventually he would decide that the Bonio needed hiding for safekeeping and would go off to some other part of the house to stash it away. The trouble was, his idea of hiding them wasn't all that good and typically involved pushing the biscuit with his nose until it was up against a skirting board and then walking away I presume thinking "job done, no-one's going to find that". Except you'd spot it immediately as soon as you went into the room.

After I've gone to bed, one of our cats jumps on the bed at the bottom end, then rather than walk straight up to me along the same edge, she walks along the bottom end, up the opposite side, along the top end round behind my head, then settles down on my right shoulder leaning on my head - !
She's always done this, so who am I to question her habit - !
