Wierd Pet Habits

[Matt J]

I was late for work this morning as I had to take Jess my outside cat home, he had jumped up onto the back seat when I was getting the ice off the windows.
We got about 10 mins down the road when he jumped on the center console , about scared the crap out of me , he then sits in the passenger seat and curls up to go to sleep.

Awww...he wanted to go to work w/ Mom! Actually, I like to think things like this happen to save you from being in a wrong place at a wrong time. Jess may have saved your life today!

Bring your kitty to work day, I love it!

Oops! I almost forgot about this one. Max's favorite chew toy is our bathroom scale. So much so that we have to keep it in the bathtub! If we put it down anywhere on the floor, he's after it. So with that in mind I present to you Max vs the Bathroom Scale!

I've seen some women do the exact same thing when they got the wrong result. :funn:

OK that was hilarious. Max is so smart, he knows that all scales must die.

Some dogs want their belly rubbed or a scratch behind the ear. My pug wants deep tissue massage. He will come up to you and lay his paw on your arm and look at you beseechingly. You can pet him, or scratch his tummy, but he will keep giving you that "please" look until you give in and devote both hands to some full blown massage -- when you work out a knot, he makes these 'WOOOOoooooghhhuuughhh" sounds.

If you want to see pure joy, just take this out of the drawer where you must keep it hidden so that he doesn't stand near it and wimper....

There's this part of me that would love to take him up to For the Health of It for a really great massage...except, you know, he's a dog....

My parent's dog has an eating disorder. We think she was abused before we got her and is hoarding/saving food though she hasn't missed a meal in years and is QUITE spoiled.

She goes absolutely nuts if you don't give her her food at the right time - starts being a pest 30-15 minutes prior and is so accurate its uncanny, but then won't eat it.

She picks her food up in her mouth and spits it out in the yard or just doesn't eat it, so they started giving her a biscuit (as dessert) if she eats her breakfast and dinner like a good dog. She'll go nuts about getting the biscuit (bugging you if you're too slow and literally jumping up and down with joy & excitement when you head towards the kitchen/pantry), then won't eat it for hours.

Very strange to see a dog lying on her bed with a milkbone next to her or trip over one under the table as with all the other dogs I know, a slow hand on milkbone delivery could mean finger damage.

Thanks AugustInTransit, for my first chuckle of the day! I couldn't help, but to envision your "ride"!We have a Japanese Chin, that's three pancakes shy, of a stack! One of her many crazy rituals, is that when you want to take her out, she repeatedly goes around and around, the kitchen table!

My sister and her fiancee have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who's like a hundred pounds. He has this hysterical habit of walking between people's legs. Apparently it's a thing with Ridgebacks but it doesn't quite work when you're not tall enough. There's been a few times that he's caught me unawares and I've inadvertantly rode him across the room. Sweetest dog, though.

If I sing "Going Up the Country" by Canned Heat in a falsetto voice, our male Bullmastiff, Max, will come running from where ever he is in the house and will bonk his face right into mine. Nothing quite like having a head the size of a basketball headed right for your face!

Odd but pretty dang funny if you ask me!

That is one Grayt looking dog....saw the pics you posted....good to know he has a cool personality to go with!

Here's some more:

Our cats will ignore the pet brush like it doesn't exist, but pick it up and you'd better use it or you will be punished.

We went to friends house for a party in late December and there dog eats crushed ice. Loves it! The dog will even go over to his little bowl just for ice and bang it on the floor to get some. It was quite comical.

The only time the Supermodel will stand up for more than a few seconds on all four legs is when he decides it is time for me to groom him. He gets up on the arm of the couch and just stands there...it's one of those times that I am most aware of my subordinate position in his life.

He is a supermodel.
