I used one of those foot peel masks & was peeling the skin off. My beagle ran in & ate it all! 🤢

He also rolls in fox shit. And knocked over bathroom bin & took out tampon applicator & ... cleaned it 🤢

My staffy, when she was a puppy, ate the arses out of my DS' pants.

One of my cats sashayed up to my husband who was sitting on a hay bale in our barn and proceeded to spray mark him. I couldn't say anything to warn him for laughing so much.

His brother used to get in through open windows and crap on my son's bed.

One of the above brothers peed in an enormous box of lego. Tiny little pieces I guess he felt were a bit like cat litter. I had to wash ALL the lego. No way was I throwing away a box that big.

We had a herb garden. It needed earth. We had a load of mole hills in the back garden so I gathered them up in a wheelbarrow carefully and added them to the herb garden. Goodoh, cat litter, thought the cats, and acted accordingly amidst my poor little herb plants.

I had a pony who liked to eat the droppings of another horse - only one in particular though. He was so determined to eat shit it was really hard for the kids to pull him up and away, and then his bit would be all covered in shit when we got home.

Actually, the poo eating pony also ate the tail of that same other horse once. Just the hair of course, but he did it overnight and when I saw the horse (who was only a youngster at the time) the next day, I couldn't work out what had happened to his lovely tail - until I saw the chewed ends.

When we moved to Wales we bought a farm which had previously had cattle on it. Our springer spaniel came in from the fields that first day 'wearing' a dead calf rather as a Roman soldier would wear an animal skin.

We had a pig killed and didn't want the head. Our sons went off and buried it out in the fields. The dogs brought it back up to our doorstep. The boys buried it deeper. Back it came the next morning. My husband went out and buried it again, with concrete blocks on it. Back it came again the next morning. And you can imagine the state it was in by then.

Having had all sorts of different animals for a very long time, there are many other horrible things I could think of that they've done.

We used cloth nappies on my son and pooed right after putting the wash on so I put so nappy with a great big solid turd in it next to the washing machine while I cleaned the nappy pail, I turned around to see the dog pick the poo up and swallow it whole!!. Still makes me gag thinking about it!.

Obsessing and getting excited when our DD is sick and tries to get the vomit from source 🤮. As a puppy he used to eat fox poo!
He hides food if he gets anything bigger than a cm or so........he once hid a big floret of broccoli 🥦 under my husbands pillow 😂

Here’s me thinking my cats love of eating bugs in the summer was gross... I think I should be grateful!!!!

Streamside · 01/02/2020 18:15

My cat did a poo in the tumble dryer, one of the ones with a perforated drum so warm bits of poo kept falling out of it.

When I was pregnant on our youngest (now 3), we were out and about for a drive in the car - I think we'd been to the fair or something with my partner's daughter and our son ... we also had our Staffy with us, he loves the car.
The kids were hungry so we stopped in morrisons quickly to grab sandwiches and drinks. We left Harvey in the car with windows down - it wasn't at all warm and not sunny.
We were about 15 mins in the shop. Got back to the car ( a 3 door Honda civic sport) as I opened the passenger door for the kids to climb in the back this river came flowing out over the door sill and all over the floor and this god awful smell just hit us. Poor Harvey had had a case of montezumas revenge in the car and the entire rear footwells were covered in horrendously runny shit. My sons school bag containing pe Kit was in there too.The poor dog had such a look on his face - pure shame, he must have exploded with no warning... My partner had to take the dog out, while the kids went back in the shop to go and buy kitchen roll and stuff for me to clean it with. God knows what passersby thought was going on. As we reversed out of the parking bay all you could see was a massive brown puddle 🤢🤢 Safe to say none of us were hungry for hours after that.
We went home on the motorway with all 4 windows down absolutely freezing. In complete silence. I'm not sure who was more traumatised, us or the dog. Took us weeks of scrubbing the footwells with all kinds of cleaners to get that stench fully out. We can laugh now after 4 years 😂

Goodnightelizabethwalton · 01/02/2020 17:53

My dog poops in the house about twice a day - well she is very elderly, senile and just can not hold it in!

QueenOfOversharing · 01/02/2020 17:52

@GeistohneGrenzen I swear I can taste that smell 🤢🤢🤢

MadamShazam · 01/02/2020 17:51

Both of my young cats frequently kill small animals and birds and bring them in. Sometimes fully grown rabbits. If they leave them outside, the dog will eat any fresh, or rotting remains he can find. Dirty bastard 😂🙈

GeistohneGrenzen · 01/02/2020 17:27

Coming back from a day out we stopped in a small town to have a look round the local market. Nearly closing time and the fishmonger had just sluiced his stall with a bucket of water. Our small version of a border collie was found rolling around in the massive puddle, mainly on her back. As if she was scratching a massive itch Grin

We debated on hanging her out of the window for the remaining 20 miles of the journey home and the stench remained hanging around everywhere for days.

😂 there is a twitter account "cats are cunts" - yours definitely qualifies.

I was all snuggled in bed, my head rested gently on the pillow and starting to fall asleep.
Suddenly I felt a warm, wet trickle of liquid running from my head, down my face, onto my neck.
I turned quickly to see what it was, to find my dcat arsehole in my face and pee shooting out of him directly into my eye.

I'm not sure what my crime was, but apparently the punishment was necessary Hmm

QueenOfOversharing · 29/01/2020 03:52

@GhostofGeishaPast I cannot stand slugs - did you have to touch them? boaks

When son was little he had a pop up uv proof tent that he used to play in. One summer night I was sat in the garden late watching the stars, grotty dog had been going in and out of the house.

When I came inside, I found the dog had been depositing around 30 chewed up slugs onto the tent in the dining room.

@NotALurker2 oh. I shouldn't have read that while eating... 🤢😂

Once my dog ate a dead rat she found on a walk. I called the vet and he said to squirt hydrogen peroxide in the dog's mouth to make her throw up, in case the rat was poisoned. I did, and then took the dog down to the sidewalk to wait. (We lived on the third floor, on a busy street.) After about five minutes of staring at each other, I brought her back upstairs to give her a second does of hydrogen peroxide but before I could, she threw the rat up on my rug.

We've had calls to move this thread over to Classics so we're going to do that now.

VioletVoice · 21/01/2020 17:18

I'd give the world to have her back though :)

QueenOfOversharing · 21/01/2020 17:12

I’m sure it was on here I read the story of the breastfeeding mum’s dog going mad for breast milk? You know, when you are feeling on one side and the other starts leaking... her Ddog used to try and suckle given half the chance?

@OneOfTheGrundys I arrange this beagle walk & on the first walk we were a bit nervous that they'd all misbehave. They were all fantastic, then mine ran up to a woman sat on a log - I called him & he ignored me. She jumped up. Was breastfeeding & he'd been trying to get in on it! Had to be my dog! 🤦🏼‍♀️

My cat took a shit in the tumble dryer, didn't realise until I turned it on and a foul hot shit smell filled the house.

@eggsandsoldiers omfg I can smell it!!

Stopped to speak with someone whilst out walking...look down to see my 35kg twat of a dog had silently curled one out on my foot.

He dislikes being put on his lead so think it was in protest.

Our stories are all poo related. My best was taking ds2 our for a walk with neighbours Ddog. DS needed a poo. I took him in the woods and he went. I wiped him the turned around to get a dog poo bag from the bag to tidy up. Except. Neighbours Ddog had got in there before me. Yum yum. 😱

Pineapplebaby · 21/01/2020 11:38

One of our cats peed in our toaster! I hadn't realised (blocked nose so couldn't smell anything) until I went to make toast and it started sparking!!

YourDaughter · 21/01/2020 11:05

My brother’s dog ate a used tampon he found under the bushes at the park - vets said it was a first for them!
