My dog sucks this blanket. It's his obsession. It's made in China and I don't know what it's stuffed with, but, washing makes it smell worse. So, I threw it on the floor by the door for him. When it hangs on the line, he lays under it and whines. When he gets it back, he practically throws a party. Niki is a pretty normal nice dog..except when it comes to his blanket. He sleeps on it in the daytime, sniffs it, sucks it, chews it and hides under it. He gets upset and nervous when anyone touches it.What weird thing does your pet do? Any objects they're attached to?

Little Harley is obsessed with his
Kong toy "Flappy". He even takes it with him on his walks. Never without it. People pass in cars and you can see them laughing. On the block, Harley is known and
FAMOUS as the dog who takes his toy everywhere.
I have had 2 cats that like to nuzzle and suck on my gowns. I've always thought they were taken from their moms too soon but since both were rescued, I don't know if that's it.
lets see my 3 cats. Lily ann the one who is diablo. That we rescued off the streets is a pick pocketer. Specially to my hair ties out of my purse. Plus she thinks she can climb walls like a spider. Victor he does this thing called the bull dance. His head down low body in the air hopping side ways. Than daisy she loves to play and retrive milk caps and string beads. Avas mommy
Yes,
Perla, our chihuahua, came to our home with a dirty obsession. It is a Build-a-bear that was christened *Humpy Bear*.
She goes to town on that damn thing. Every once in a while I will pick it up with tips of my two fingers and fling it in the washing machine. She does not like when it is freshly washed. LOL
If it gets stuck behind something, she bitches and whines until someone drags it out again.
My cat goes nuts when I change sheets on my bed, he skates around in them and then lays really still so I can make the bed over him. He also carries my children's small toys around in his mouth while meowing loudly.
I was going to say the same things about my cat, Miss S! Crazy!
My Huey, used to chew those plastic action figures of my son's. Then I got a kitten, then he started gently chewing on and dragging around the kitten.
My cat Eloise used to carpet surf from one small area rug to another in my husband and my first apartment. She would run like a mad cat and hurl herself on one and surf until she got to the next and bounce on it and surf the rest of the floor. It was hysterical to watch. She also used to do what we called The Crab which I think is similar to what Ava's Mom's cat Victor does, the bull dance.
She is now 18 years old and does not do much anymore :(
My siamese cat loves yarn or any type of string. Unfortunately she has to be supervised when she plays with it because otherwise she will eat it. One day I walked in on her hacking and coughing. There was a small piece of blue yarn hanging out of her mouth so I pulled on it. To my shock it just kept coming and coming out of her mouth. I finally ended up with a very small ball of yarn..she had sucked up the whole thing!
poli is insane....she just jumps straight up in the air....over and over and over and over....she won't go to jump ON me, she just jumps straight up over and over and over til i tell her stop that fuckery....
since pan is always taking her toys, that's how she's use to playing....pan takes the toy/stick/etc and then she chases pan....pan sometimes lets poli have whatever for a short bit and whenever poli gets the toy/stick/etc she prances around like a proud show pony "look i got the stick look i got the stick" with her chest out all happy....they she'll drop it and pan grabs it and runs off....
pan likes to 'herd' certain cats of mine.....not ALL of 'em, just certain ones.....and just like Molly, pan will grab oreo the cat by his scruff and drag him around...oreo does not mind at all and it doesn't hurt him as she's very gentle with him....
pan's herding is annoying as fuck...she is obsessive about it and once had 5 kitties in a corner just barking away at 'em....
My dog Lina's quirks aren't as cute as you guys - but I love them.
1. She *has* to go under the sheets when it is bed time. She crawls under the sheets, turns around three times, and settles down...for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes are up (like clockwork) she jumps out the bottom of the bed and sleeps most of the night in her bed.
2. About 5:30am every morning she jumps on the bed and forces my husband to roll over so she can lay with her head on his outstretched arm (and on the pillow) with the rest of her body under the sheet. Yep, he has to snuggle her for the next hour and a half that we are in bed.
3. She also does the basenji 500 (she is half basenji) she runs from the front door to the end of the living room - she usually slides part of the way. Sometimes she jumps on the rug and rug surfs like Melissa's. It's a damn funny site.
4. She ALWAYS plays dead first when we show her we have a treat. Then she'll do whatever we ask of her.
Why, yes, I adore my damn doggie, yes I do. :)
My cat has figured out that when my cell phone alarm goes off, I get out of bed and eventually leave the house. He's learned when the alarm goes off, to tap the touch screen to turn it off and then he'll nuzzle up against my face, as if to convince me to go back to sleep. Sadly, this technique has worked twice so far...LOL
angie---best start setting a second alarm 15-20 minutes after your first in case your kitty does that again!!
My mother's (well really my dad's but he will deny it) cat loves his pink sparkly My Little Pony. He loves sitting on the table with his pony, and heaven forbid someone tried to touch it. Only that one though. My father has bought other ponies at garage sales but he pays no attention to them. Pink pony goes to the trailer with them.
He also love elastic bands. Doesn't matter if they are regular rubber or hair elastics. He takes and hides them.
My cat has had a personality change since she was sick. (her health is much better now though) She use to carry these balls that have feathers attached all around the apartment, now house, but now she doesn't like them anymore. Her current "thing" is hiding in a carpet piece that is in the closet. She comes out on her own though.
My cat Sugar Bear (16) will take a piece of my sons pilled knit blanket and walk around in circles and twist it up to a point and nurse on it. Then ever so often he'll give it a couple humps and go back to nursing until he falls asleep. I know he's at it when I hear my son yell "Get this cat outta here!"
My Lab Corky cannot seem to walk out of the house without a toy in his mouth. All his toys have to be giant so he can completely fill his mouth. I can't tell you how many toys I've lost because my husband doesn't notice he has a toy in his mouth when he walks him at 4:30am before work. Also, he won't play with a regular ball, it has to be a soccer ball and it has to be yellow. I recently made the mistake of buying him a red one when his last one finally got a hole and he wouldn't touch it. I brought home another yellow one and he was happier than a pig in shit. None of the other dogs are allowed to touch it.
Kirbert my other Lab must greet you when you get home with some kind of "gift." It's usually the first thing he can grab, a shoe, the remote, etc. One of the first times my son brought his new GF home, I was bringing down laundry. Kirbert greeted them with my bra in his mouth. Not too embarrassing.
Louis my Chihuahua, as soon as he sees we're going out, he frantically looks for something to eat. It's almost like he goes into survival mode. My other Chi Bitsy (aka PeaPea) will only go to sleep at night completely under the covers. I don't care if it's 100 degrees, she has to be under the covers and she won't go under unless i pull the cover on myself. They're all crazy and that's why I love them.
Oh, and if you say meow,meow to Corky, he starts to howl.
My cat loves shoes, any kind or size, she loves them. If you take off your shoes, watch out, she will be sleeping on top of them within 5 minutes. Looks very uncomfortable to me....but she is in heaven.
And my dog has had a plastic bone for the last 6 years, the poor thing is half gone but he loves it. That thing is like his pacifier, when he sees another dog walking down the street, he runs and gets his bone and tosses it around like a maniac. Weird, but cute...
Oh Tia, but he is so very, very soft that when does it, it's like wearing an orange mink scarf :) Downside of that is he practically suffocates me...LOL
Moose sucks on her blankie too! It's actually a twin comforter I got for my son's bed a couple of years ago, but she kept swiping it so he let it go eventually. She drags that thing up and down the stairs and even up unto the couch. She has a special spot that she sucks on, so she'll fuss with it till she finds it. Then she sucks and whines...it's really cute.
My current critters don't have any quirks I know of. But I used to have a cat who stole our pens right from our hands while in use. We never knew where they ended. The pen sucking black hole I guess. She also looooved the smell of bleach when we moped the floors, rolled and squirmed on the clean floor. She never buried her stool in the kitty box, she bailed as soon as she was done because was afraid of the laundry room lol! Her sister used to fetch little paper wads. Their momma used to charge all across the living room and climbed the main door and stood there hanging muttering and grumbling. She also used to grab food from the plates and hold it in her mouth while calling her kids, even as adults. Another kitty used to have ashtray fetish, lick and rub on our ashtrays when my mom and I used to smoke. All of them are in a better place now, every now and then I see them in my dreams. They had the good, long life.
DD, sorry I've been away for days, I've been reading through my google reader subscription to get updated, just not very active in the comments. Everything's fine tho. Only my wrists have been hurting a lot lately so I'm avoiding as much typing as I can. I think it's the typing on the laptop that's causing it, it's not exactly ergonomic. Sometimes it hurts to the point that I can't flex my fingers, and have had to wrap my hands with bandages to sleep at night. Tonight they seem to be better. Need to see a doctor soon. Need to send you some pics too!
These were fun to read. Tia, I knew a Boxer who did that leaping thing once. Maybe it's a Boxer trait? I had a peacock that did it too. Pets are so funny. Niki freaks out when the microwave dings.
Meissa, it's always good to see you.
I'm a little late to this party. Life is totally getting in my way of reading blogs! Dammit!
My Tucker (RIP) could eat anything. I mean ANYTHING! He was 10 lbs. of garbage disposal. He loved bottle caps the most. If he saw you drinking out of a bottle, he was glued to you until you threw him the cap. He'd chew it and chew it until it was gone. The vet used to get on me but he never got an impaction and I never saw the pieces of the cap in his poo.
He also loved those little Dum-dum pops. The girls at the bank knew to pass one to him when we came through. He'd hold the stick between his paws and lick away all happy and content.
I sometimes wish human's quirks could be so cute. :)
Harley goes to my parents everyday while I'm at work. She's pretty well behaved until I show up, as soon as she sees me she goes running looking for her tennis ball. It's time for doggie bowling! My parents have a white husky and a cat, Sunshine (the husky), feels the need to kiss the cat every morning, with a big open mouth around her neck. After the cat has had enough doggie lovin', she swats at Sunshine and take off! But they do that every morning. Harley has also stolen my snuggie, and if I try to take it back, she grabs a corner and pulls until she has taken it away. When Harley goes into my parents and dad is in his chair, she takes off jumps in his lap, rebounds off his chest, land right back in the floor and keeps on trucking. This last one is gross, but funny as hell anyway...Harley will jump in dads lap, pass gas and haul ass....then get in moms lap and do the same thing.She tried to do that to me, but I had caught on by then. Sneaky puppy!
My dog likes to lay across my shoulders, on top of the computer chair, while I'm on the computer. Or in the winter time she will go inside my sweater and just sleep there while I'm on here..sometimes she will stick her head out. Another odd this she'll do is sometimes take a piece of her food and roll in it.
Our chihuahua pretends she can't get up on my bed (where she sleeps) without me. She stands 'straining' against the bed making a show of how high the bed is and how she wants so badly to get up there, if only she were big enough, but no, she needs to be lifted.
My bed is very low, only 20 inches off the ground, and she jumps on and off it all day long when she's not 'needing' help....I don't get it.
LOL @ the gas bag dog. Man, how did he figure out how to gross you out??
Nattie, Niki still pulls that trick on Casey when she visits. Like he's a baby. It's so funny.
haha...the farting reminded me of another of poli's funny quirks....her farts sound like blowing raspberries....she just pretends like nothing happened but pan will make a 'bitch please' look and will make a big deal of sniffy towards poli's ass to show that SHE didn't just fart!!!
Haha Tia, that reminds me of this video. Dogs know when they fart.

My cat Thadeus has a favorite stuffy cat which is almost as big as he is. My stud seems to forget he was fixed 8 years ago and at least once a week bits the neck of his stuffy and humps away. Afterwards he gives me this, "ok now what do I do" look, to which I reply, "roll over and have a cigarette".
I don't feel like sharing right now but I really enjoyed these. I smiled all the way through the comments.

All of these posts had me smiling, there is nothing like a beloved pet.
Our cat is named Biggs. He's a fat domestic tabby with a personality. One of his strange quirks is that he loves Q-tips. He walks around with a Q-tip in his mouth, and not just any old way. He has it cocked to the side like a debonair cigarette.
Even more, he goes to his water bowl and dips one end of the Q-tip in water, then lays it down and takes the wet end in his mouth. Once more, walking around all Humphrey Bogart.
The bad thing is, if he is without Q-tip, he turns over the waste can in the bathroom to get a used one. I find that icky, so I make sure he has a fresh Q-tip (when I remember to) and throw his old one away.
I have NO idea how he decided to do this, other than both my husband and I smoke, and perhaps he thinks he is, too.
My cat steals earplugs (the foamy kind ) and eats them. They go in purple and come out orange !!! EWWW
Jax (dog) sleeps on his back on the loveseat across from his dad on the couch. Sometimes his tongue is sticking out a little and he doesn't know it . He'll sit there looking at you with the little tongue sticking out and it's so funny.
Both cats love to get in grocery bags .
Nothing extraordinary, but ya know,when everyone's braggin' 'bout their babies, you gotta jump in :)
On weekend nights when I typically go to bed late - well after midnight, my little Sparky barks and cries because he is used to the 10 pm work week bed time. He sleeps on my bed and gets really pissy when I am not ready to go to bed when he is.
