I have had many different pets in my life from goats to cats. I had a little pigmy goat that would eat anything including hair. For example, he would stand up behind me and I would feel a sudden tug on my head because he was trying to eat the hair off my head. He was also fond of eating my phone line while I was on the phone. I am not sure how he got to it as it was run flush up a wall, but he would get it each time. He would also get upset when we would leave him and head up the road and would follow us as far as he could screaming the whole way. I have also owned several pot belly pigs, but 1 in particular was a problem child because he would run off during the day and come back exhausted at night. Once, he led my dog, and my goat on a long trip down past the neighbors house. When we couldn't find the goat or dog we called the neighbors and they said they had seen a pig leading a dog and goat past their house. I also had a cat who used to wait until I was asleep and jump up and bite my toes and then run. What are some funny and or strange things animals who you have or have had have done?

All three of my animals are silly at times to the point where I either shake my head or laugh at their antics. My wolf hybrid will do what we call a sideways bow, and she will literally "gnaw" at the carpet, without actually biting into it. When she wants me to play with her, she will do the formal bow, then literally, get low to the floor/ground and spin rapidly in a circle with her tail sticking straight out, and make a growling bark. I think it's her "I challenge you to a duel!" bark.
My lab mix will literally run through the house, spin in circles, and will literally get angry if he can't catch his tail. Just a few days ago, he tried it, then gave me an annoyed bark. It was hilarious.
My cat, oh boy, I think this one takes the cake. Whenever we're eating in front of her, she will meow, and will actually sit up and paw like a dog. And whenever she wants fed, she will follow us around the house, even to the point of getting mad when we leave her alone in the bedroom.
She's been known to figure out how to open doors too, even if they're closed. So far, she can only 'push' them open, but not pull. Oh, and she hates the out doors. And she likes her belly rubbed.

Firestorm, I don't know how you are not laughing all the time. Some might say that pets are like humans and others wouldn't, but sometimes they do things that make me think they are smarter than I am. My sister's cat mouths her all the time. For example, if her cat is sleeping and falls off the couch, she will look at my sister and let out the loudest meow as if to say "why did you push me off the couch"? My other cat is an outside cat and she behaves more like a dog.

Some of the funny things my cat does is attack my hands and attack my girlfriend's feet, and in the morning while we are sleep,our cat would put her face up to ours to see if wee are sleep or when im next to her while shes grooming her fur she'll stop and start licking my hair. And another funny thing our cat does is when shes far away or when i looking at her, she would run up to me and slap me. And when i have her in my arms and someone wak pass, she'll try to hit or scratch them.

Precious likes to cuddle. However, he likes to do so at the worst times. He can make room out of the smallest spaces and purr about it like it was no big deal, which to him, probably didn't seem that way. If I don't lie down with him and provide a cuddle space he'll hide under the bed until I do.
