Tell me about your pet's unique quirks

I once had a Golden Retriever who liked bananas. She would lay down, get the banana standing up between her 2 front paws and "peel" it with her teeth and eat it. I wish I had a picture to prove it but suffice to say that many people saw her do it because I showed off her skill whenever I had a chance!

My cat has no sense of balance. She has fallen just stepping from the chair to the couch, which is within reach! She has fallen just trying to jump from the floor onto the couch! I can't tell you how many times I have saved her from hitting the floor.

My daughter says that this has to do with her breed. She read that ragdoll cats are "floor cats" LOL.

Ahhhhhh I have a Ragdoll! He is very quirky himself. Very dog like.

my dog (a dachshund/chihuahua mix) sometimes thinks she's a cat i guess. she likes to sit in windows and on the arms of our couch. she's also incredibly jealous -- if we run into other dogs in the neighborhood and i get down to pet them, she butts herself in between us and starts licking my face, or sometimes gets in the other dog's face like BACK OFF THAT'S MY PERSON !!!

We have one chihuahua that smiles whenever you talk sweet to him. He also tilts his head from side to side when you ask him a question. Another one we had walked on her hind legs whenever we had food and she wanted some. It was like she was dancing. She passed away some years ago, though. We have another one who is very sweet, but she is an excessive barker. One like no other I’ve ever seen. What’s funny about it is that when we got her she was too shy to bark for three straight days. We thought she was mute or something, but now it is quite the opposite...

My pet turtle loves to stay near my laptop's fan holes. She enjoys the heat generated by the fan. She tries to climb the laptop's heated area, but I never let her.

My dog barks at bacon. I found it funny that she actually barked at a commercial once because it was introducing a new kind of burger at Burger King. The minute she saw the bacon, she went nuts. Dogs are very very smart.

We have visitors in the back yard, including all sorts of birds, chipmunks, squirrels, stray cats, and raccoons.

My cat cannot cope with the visiting cats. She is mildly inflamed by raccoons, but the cats, oh no.

If she sees one, she goes barreling at the sliding glass door and hits it with the full weight of her 16-pound body while punching the glass with her paws. She is ready to KILL.

It's pretty loud, and we make jokes about her shattering the glass. She can't shatter the glass. I think.

Actually, I'd better google that.

My kitty Caroline follows me into the bathroom most every time, even during the middle of the night.

My cat is figuring out time so she can maximize her meows for food.

My daughter finally saw the cat do this. Ginger likes to wake me up at 4:00a.m. by mewing, right in my face.

This time, I was napping. My daughter said she got right up in my face, and put her whole body into it, mewing just as loud as she possibly could.

So rude!!

My cat really likes bread-ties. She finds them under things and brings them to me so we can play fetch with them. She also really likes to sit in plastic grocery bags, and if you pick up the bag while she's in it, she doesn't care.

I forgot to say that I think this is very funny—I love everything this cat does

Hi, one of my three cats, Elvira, thinks she’s a dog. She meows when I say “speak”...she heals (walks right beside me no matter how many turns I take), she fetches toys and brings them back to me to toss again. When I say “sick em” she runs to the windows with her ears back, and her serious face looking for strangers. She’s something else. I rescued her from a kill shelter 12 years ago....she’s the love of my life. My BFF!



How do you post photos? I tried the link above my message box, nothing happens. Am I too new to post photos? Thanks.

My dog eats any fuzzy or lint ball on the floor. And he likes to hump any dog at the dog park no matter the size. He is 7 pounds and I have seen him with a great dane.

I don't know exactly why my dog, Precious, likes to just waltz into the loo every time I am sitting on the porcelain throne.

Willow, like Ebony before her, seems to think it's her life's mission to protect the small birdies that come into the garden

Tigger's quirk is she'll yowl upstairs to tell me she's hunted one of her toys and she'll take the toy upstairs to beat it up, she refuses to beat the toy mousies up downstairs, she will only ever beat them up upstairs then bring them downstairs after they are "dead" to show me her prey

My current dog has to walk on the curb, always, no matter where we go. He also won't ride up front of any car, he always hops in the back.

My old dog, he had a few, he ALWAYS had to sleep by the fan. IF there was no fan or it was turned off he would pant super loud and wake someone up.

He also often dropped his "babies" on the floor and instead of getting up to get them, he whined and had someone get it for him. Come to think of it, my old dog had the humans well trained, LOL

My dog carries three tennis balls at once, and works hard on a fourth. It makes my giggle.

My friend's dog has a toy with lots of different squeak boxes in it and he pushes his nose against each of them until he's made them all squeak

My male doggie got the bad habit of laying his butt on the walls when pooping. As I use to take him without a leash, he sometimes makes me feel embarrassing situations like one day he wanted to poop on an Antonio Banderas’ statue, in front of lots of tourists looking at the statue and taking pics. Of course, I had to grab him and took him away.

My female doggie makes alike human noises when she is stretching or change position when sleeping. It’s exaggerated how much she does it. Lol!

My cockapoo mix sonny boy likes to back up under your foot and get the top of his but/tail area itched. its annoying after awhile. My pom mix, all 12 lbs of him is a ground hog killer. I try and watch as best as I can but one summer he got three.

My Jack Russells beg for anchovies when I am using them in cooking......Eating them makes them blink their little eyes really fast.

I have an 8 year old Chihuahua, his name is Kujo. He is so weird and hilarious. He can also be a major butthead. lol.

He only lets ME clean his eyes, bathe him, and put on his sweater. No one else. He only let's my Significant Other clean out his ears, and everytime he's around my SO he acts like his ears itch... literally every time.

When he was a pup he chewed up the connector to my Rock Band drum set and I freaked out and screamed at him (as I was in love with playing it). Now at an adult, he's allowed to chew up his toys in my presence (I figure they are his toys and not mine, so it's ok. lol. He literally is so smart that he knows no to do this around others, and only me. Only his toys.

He's a yoga enthusiast and does downward dog every time he gets up from a nap/sleeping. If i stick my foot out and say "Yogi boy.." he will walk to where his belly is above my foot and wants me to wheelbarrow him/raise his hind legs with my foot to stretch.

He's a picky eater like me. And he also will not poop out back at my apartment unless he knows no one is looking (aka at like 3am). At my mother's home he has no problems going #2 cause it's his yard, but at my apartment he is on a harness. lol.

He is such a dork. I love him so much. He literally has gotten me through some heavy times... When i had my Wisdom teeth out he literally laid in my bed with me and slept with his face up to mine (just to make sure I was ok). He is now keeping watch of my Sister who has Cancer. She told me she passed out in the kitchen the other night and Kujo was sitting on her with his toy, trying to wake her up, but also guarding her. He's such a good dog. He has his temperament (he doesn't like to be photographed or recorded, and I will forever have a scar to prove that).. lol.
