What is your funniest or naughiest animal related moment?

My friend was in the kitchen one day - a cat came bombing in through the catflap, projectile-vommed everywhere, and then calmly walked to the back door to be let out again. It wasn't even her cat.

We had a dear little dog who never, ever, made a mess in the house. My partner arranged to leave off early to meet an estate agent to value our flat. Running late, the estate agent was already waiting when my partner arrived. They opened the door to a terrible stench; Jaimie had got into the bath and pooed in it!!!!! Try explaining that one!!! The truth is he had never messed indoors before and he never did it again and he lived until he was 18. We sold within a week of going on the market but I cannot even imagine what the estate agent thought....

The army were doing manoevres on the plain, and our dog gave away the position of a couple of them to the 'enemy' forces, by running up and licking them in the ear. She and we got a (well deserved) scolding and went elsewhere PDQ!

A number of years ago I was driving and my dog suddenly got restless and was making a lot of noise. I stopped the car to find out what was wrong with her and found that my phone was connected because she had presumably trodden on it. I switched it off and didn't think any more about it.

Later on I found out that she had activated the last number recall, which was to my mother. She had answered the call, realised from the noise that the dog was at the other end and started talking to her! Dog heard her voice and answered her with snuffly noises.

I don't know which was maddest - the dog who made a phone call or a mother who answered the phone to a dog and held a conversation with her on the phone.

Great name for a cat

A few years ago my kitty went out and I was doing some cleaning. He came back in with a huge steak in his mouth - he was having trouble carrying it! I daren't go outside and see whose dinner had been ruined!

I chopped it up for him and put it in his bowl and he didn't even want it :rotfl:

Went out and unwittingly left the pantry open with my daughters two small dogs shut in there. Came home to two dogs who'd had a party-with very bulging tummies.

That one reminds me of a time walking with my last Border Collie on Exmoor. The Marines were on exercises (on public land), and as we arrived with the dogs there were a group of Marines standing at attention in the car park, covered in various bits of greenery. My boy wandered up to them, sniffed along the line, and decided to wee on the last "tree". Which resulted in one dancing Marine, and several tittering Marines, until an officer told them to get back at attention (apparently they should be tougher than worrying about dog wee), and then pretended to be reading his map when he was actually collapsed on the hood of his jeep laughing!

Two hours later, we were coming back the same way along a path up to the carpark. We suddenly saw the strangest thing. A whole line of "undergrowth" was moving quickly backwards as my dog passed by! I'll just have to hope that when the enemy come, they don't arrive with platoons of domesticated dogs needing a wee!

My mum lives in a rural area near an area where endangered birds roost. She loves these birds and feels the need to feed them all year round.

One day we were out and going into the pet shop for fat balls so I asked her why she didn't buy the pound shop ones and she said "oh they don't last that long, they used to be great but recently the poor birds have ate through it in less than an hour", very odd I thought.

So we went home, I parked up in the conservatory and mum put out the fat ball on the whirlygig (air dryer that turns in the wind), she then went round the front of the house out of sight. Moments later a massive grey squirrel appeared on the fence, he watched the whirlygig for a minute then dived off the fence, grabbed the fat ball, dropped to the ground and ran up the tree at the end of the garden and was off!

Below the back bedroom window are the roofs of two extensions. Immediately below is the lounge extension, and to its left is the kitchen extension (probably originally the coal-house, outside loo, and larder). AT one time both roofs had tiles, but the previous year, the kitchen roof was changed to slate.
Several months ago she went out the bedroom window, on to the first roof, then a short jump down to the next.
Only problem, there had been heavy rain - she couldn't keep her grip, and went sliding down the roof on her side, until saved by the gutter!!
It might have happened before, but this time my partner witnessed - makes her laugh to remember it.
I witnessed another where she slid bottom first...



Only trouble now is - she has become phobic about it, reluctant to go out that way, may turn right, but not left down to the slate roof - even when dry.
Trouble is that's the way down to the garden, or over the garage roof!
PS GlaweJen - nice to see someone that calls them whirlygigs!

We used to have badgers come into our garden. We also used to have a pond. One night one of the Badgers went to have a drink, he fell in. He clambered out, shook himself off and looked around. It was like he was checking none of the others had seen him.
