What is your funniest or naughiest animal related moment?

Idiot Cat is a complete eejit. One summer, a sparrow knocked itself out on the upstairs window and fell right in front of his nose and he grabbed it. Unfortunately, he was too daft to realise what the pointy things were for in his mouth and I quickly retrieved it, put it on the bird feeder and carried Idiot Cat inside, where he angrily glared at the poor thing through the window whilst it recovered from minor concussion and flew away.

Idiot Cat plays ping pong with Bumble Bees every spring. Idiot Cat looks like a clown every spring after playing ping pong for too long.

Idiot Cat tries to jump onto the countertop. Idiot Cat invariably misses and lands in his waterbowl.

Idiot Cat tries to jump onto the windowsill. Idiot Cat always smacks his head into the glass as a braking mechanism.



Idiot Cat went for a mooch in the garden one evening last summer. Suddenly, there was a great commotion in the kitchen and Himself said 'Eejit's got something'.

'What, like a mouse?' (thinking please don't let it be a rat)

'No. I think it's a - Hamster'


Cue two fully grown adults scrambling round the kitchen after the Idiot Cat, who did indeed have a hamster and was doing his best to enjoy the moment (but still didn't know what to do with the pointy bits), I end up going headfirst under the table, tossing out various bits of music related detritus from underneath as it was where Himself did a lot of recording, making a noise like a drum kit in a cement mixer, Idiot Cat lets go of said hamster, Himself is running around like Basil Fawlty looking for a bowl and tripping over my legs sticking out from underneath the table, Floofy Cat (thick as a barn door but looks like Stephen Hawking compared to the lovechild of Donald Trump and Sarah Palin asked to explain what a particle accelerator does when you consider her cat competition) is trying to escape from the chaos by leaping on my back to get onto the table just as I'm about to catch the hamster, I yelp, Idiot Cat spots the hamster and wants his toy back, so launches at it (my face is in the way), accidentally grabs it with one claw and proceeds to dance around as though he's just been grabbed by a crab. Himself pins down the cat and hamster runs into the bathroom where I slam the door shut and Himself deposits Idiot Cat out the back door with only minor lacerations.

Hamster had escaped from a house somewhere, navigated gardens, climbed a ten foot wall, crossed the ten foot wall that is the main thoroughfare for every cat and fox in the neighbourhood, climbed down the ten foot wall, crossed the garden and made it either with or without assistance from the Idiot Cat into the kitchen.

It was borderline psychotic, but that Syrian Nutter lived for another five months, fat and glaring at Himself as he worked every night.

Great thread!


Suffice it to say I had a dog that is known to all and sundry as Naughty Ruby. Her current favourite occupation is liberating Poppy from her lampshade as we try to get a sore on her knee to heal.

Ruby is pack leader and obviously sees it as her duty to protect her pack from the evil that is a cone....Poppy just thinks she is wonderful:o

Ha - all of these are making me laugh.

I had a crazy boxer dog when I was a teenager and usually walked him whilst listening to my very fashionable Walkman! I just remember toodling along, minding my own business and overtaking a vicar type man in all his Regalia in the town centre. Next thing I know is a frantic tapping on my shoulder - I stop and turn and this vicar is shouting at my dog to let go - as we walked past him, Max decided that to grab the sashhy/Tassly thing the man was wearing and start dragging him along behind us!

I was so embarrassed!!! LOL. I paid a bit more attention to Max when I was walking him after that.

Love these! :rotfl:

My cat used to love drinking out of the toilet! She also once stole a malted milk biscuit from my hand - while I was looking the other way! Oh, and had an addiction to peanut butter.

The weirdest 'animal incident' was a few years ago - about 5 years after my cat died and we were petless. A Saturday evening. The back door was open and all of a sudden a cat came running in. He then proceeded to run down the stairs (topsy turvy house) and into the bedroom. I followed him to 'round him up' and then he went outside, and proceeded to sit on the decking. A while later, my partner needed to go to the local Coop, which is about a 10 minute walk away. The cat then followed him about half way, waited on the corner saw him return and then follow him back. He then sat on the decking peering in through the door again, until we had to shut the curtain! (I would have ended up adopting someone else's cat - he was so lovely!) Checked on him from time to time, he was there for hours. Funny thing was, hadn't seen him before or since that day! :eek:

One of my mums cat's years ago once came toddling down the fence with a koi carp in her mouth we never did find out where it came from as none of our neighbours had ponds! The exact same cat caught our neighbours prize racing pigeon it was shortly after Chernobyl so he thought the radiation had messed with the birds homing signal and it just got lost my mum didn't have the heart to tell him.

One of our cat's chased the hamster up the chimney hole it took a lot of treats to get them down.

I have so many I could go on all day. It's one of the reason I love having animals they give you so much joy and entertainment

My mom was having a dinner party and just before guests arrived went in to check all was as it should be. Something wasn't right - she then realised that my brothers springer had opened the door, gone in and removed all of the prawns from the starters! Salad was left!
