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.

My darling dog this morning decided to roll in poo. Now what animal will poo in a corner of a Wall and fence? Yup...pretty sure he's rolled in people poo!!!

And then I had to get him in the car to get home!!!! My car stinks of poo!!!

Suddenly glad I don't have a dog reading this!

Bf was sound asleep in bed and the cat wasn't feeling well. How did she tell us? She hopped up on the bed and pissed all over his hair/back, and kept going when he woke up and shoved her off so it also covered the rest of the bed. It was like a biblical flood of piss. Delightful creatures.

Ddog sadly had to be PTS but he did some pretty gross things in his time.

One was take a shit in the boot of the car whilst I was sandwiched in by other cars in the McDonald’s drive thru. I could tell he suddenly needed to go but there was nothing I could do until the cars in front moved. It was good of him to jump into the boot and do it though, I guess.

Another time he found the biggest, runniest cow pat imaginable and rolled around in it. He was only a small dog and was literally caked all over in shit, all I could see was his eyes.

Shat in the house, are It, then vomited it up again (in the house still) 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

My (male, neutered) cat has taken to shagging my hat. The bed throw is now sulking like a jilted girlfriend.

Can't feel quite the same about either the throw or the hat, tbh; but I think I mind about the hat more.

WellAintThatAShitbiscuit · 21/01/2020 00:09

My dog had a upset tummy (probably from eating something he shouldn't have!) and after a poo in the garden had a lot of poo in his very long fur, as I lent down to clean him up he shook and covered my face and chest in his diarreah!

My cat went possibly one better...I had caught norvo virus and was suddenly violently sick with no warning (it didn't all end up in the loo) looked down and my cat was paddling in it picking out the "good" bits and eating it!

VioletVoice · 20/01/2020 23:32

She woke me up perched on my bedside table few inches away and whilst very steadily maintaining close eye contact proceeded to shit.

I woke up and started screaming. She seemed quite satisfied with herself and still maintained eye contact throughout. Didn't faze her at all that I was in a panic.

Molly, My yorkie, has a penchant for sucking the crotches of our dirty underwear. Drives me mad. She’s stolen husbands dirty undies from the laundry pile twice this week.

She also once went into the bathroom bin and ate a used tampon. Luckily (or unluckily) she didn’t swallow it and I had the pleasure of pulling it out of her trap, partially knawed.

DearPrudence · 20/01/2020 23:16

Dog 2 ate shit and sicked it up all over our bed.

She also eats the warm shit coming out of her sister's arse. Like a vending machine.

WildRosie · 20/01/2020 20:44

Many years ago, one of our cocker spaniels must have eaten a short length of rope during a walk. Don't ask me how, or why. We only found out about it a little later when she shat it out whole during another walk but it got stuck mid-defaecation. We had to pull it out - thankfully only a few inches. Stupid spaniel Angry.

Imserious · 20/01/2020 20:35

I also have a beagle....... where do.i start I could write a book! She eats cat poop loves it can smell it a mile off Shock. She also eats her own poop so I have to watch her in the garden and clean up straight away Hmm. She has rolled in all kinds of shit loves fox and badger.

Frlrlrubert · 20/01/2020 20:26

My dogs love cat treats from the litter tray, just had to shower one because she had cat shit in her (spaniel) ear hair.

Have nommed the contents of nappies and the occasional toddler accident.

Have licked DDs bum when I was trying to help her wipe.

The cats once did a double dirty protest - one in the bathroom sink and one on a bedroom rug because I was stupid enough to clean both litter trays at once.

The worst two I think I've told before but...

The day the takeaway delivery man phoned us from the end of the drive because he 'wasn't good with cats' - specifically cats that were blocking the doorway and in the process of eviscerating a pigeon (the one that's no longer with us used to eat the hearts and leave the rest).

The time the dog ate a toddler sock, shat out the toddler sock, ate the shitty toddler sock (she was too fast for me), vomited up the shitty toddler sock. She was trying to eat the vomity shitty toddler sock when I managed to intervene.

eggsandsoldiers · 20/01/2020 20:22

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.

@euphoria1040 chocolate truffle box 😂😂😂

euphoria1040 · 20/01/2020 17:27

My sprocker loves a good truffling in the chocolate truffle box aka the cats litter tray and is there on clean up duty within seconds if the cats throw anything up. He'll roll in anything nasty and is a frequent visitor to the bathroom bin to peruse the sanitary towel delicacies produced by three girls in the house! We get the booty scooting across the lounge floor and over zealous bottom cleaning audio too. My sister was particularly proud of her cat when it decided to eat some tinsel at xmas and spent the festive period with a particularly festive tuft of tinsel hanging out of its rear which had to be teased slowly out like a cat poo advent calender. Good job these furry friends also have some good qualities too !

@Furrydog7 & others -

my beagle boy has been with us almost 3 years and he never gets his "pink lipstick" out. Only time I've ever noticed is if he's heaving out a shit. Im not complaining, but having had male dogs before who got theirs out all the time, he's quite the modest gentleman! 💄

When i was a child my mum had a dog who loved rolling in pooh and he liked to show off his private parts.

isseywith4vampirecats · 20/01/2020 14:37

one of my cats has the habit off woofing his biscuits down he then goes in the front room and brings them back up, mall over the top of the sofa dosent sick up on the floor where its easy to clean and my daughters dalmation if im not quick enough serfs the litter tray and eats the poo animals are gross

LakieLady · 20/01/2020 14:02

dogs have really amazing sense of smell, so why do they eat / roll in really stinky stuff? Like, beagles are scent hounds, but go straight for fox poo.

It disguises their dog smell, which is useful when hunting. If you're hunting a fox, it's good to smell like a fox, even a shitty one.

I’ve got four cats so I’ve had to chase a good amount of small creatures around my house that they’ve brought in and not managed to kill before they escaped but the worst by far was a big bloody rat! It took some doing to get hold of that thing and get it out of the house!

I once went downstairs at around 3am for a drink and didn’t bother putting the light on. One step into the kitchen and something was tickling my feet and sticking to them. I put the light on and the whole kitchen floor was awash with feathers.. one of my cats had dragged in a huge pigeon and demolished it on my nice clean floor 😭 As I was stood Aghast at the sheer amount of feathers and mess I heard a crunching sound. I found my cat around the corner munching on the pigeons head.

Similarly I saw something on the floor in the hallway and couldn’t make out what it was. I picked it up and had a closer look, turning it over etc .. it was a bloody bird beak. I spent ages hunting around the house for the rest of it but never found any.

More recently my lovely little female cat who doesn’t come for a fuss very often stood on the arm of the sofa next to me and turned to put her hurt in my face. This means she wants a scratch on her back which I’m quite happy to give her, until something moving about caught my eye.. there was a worm literally hanging from her butt! It turned out she had tapeworm which explained the odd little segments of unknown origin id found a day before on my pillow :(

AshenQueen · 20/01/2020 13:49

Quite relieved I'm not the only one who's Ddog eats their child's poo.

Mine will head dive into the toilet to eat it if he has half the chance.

Then follow her around sniffing her bum, panting and trying to hump her.

He also rolls in all kinds of shit and licks pee frequently.

DP still lets him lick his face 🤢

LakieLady · 20/01/2020 13:39

Lakie 1 was a roller. You name it, he rolled in it. Horse poo is fine, it brushes out and leaves very little smell, but human poo is beyond disgusting. He even managed to get it IN his ears. Fox shit was a regular treat.

He dug up a long dead fish on a Cornish beach and rolled on it, which was pretty gross. The smell was still discernible at the end of the holiday. The worst was when he rolled in a puddle of liquid which had seeped out of a slurry heap or similar. It took lots of the ketchup treatment and 5 baths with scented shampoo to reduce the stench to tolerable levels.

When we got Lakie 2, they soon learned to play tug-of-war together. Which was pretty innocuous, until they discovered that (live) slow worms make great tuggy toys.

Being female, she's nowhere near as disgusting, but in her youth would kill and eat rabbits. Then vomit them back up again. The worst thing she did was kill a hedgehog. I found it in the garden, and still haven't quite forgiven her 10 years later.

I've had 2 disgusting cats, too. One would bring in live birds (I'm bird phobic) that then shat all over the place, while the other went for mice. He would eat the top half of the mouse, and leave the bottom half intact, on the stairs. His record was 4 pairs of mouse trousers in one night. Of course, I stepped in 2 of them. Mouse entrails on bare feet is no way to start the day.

MargeSimpsonswig · 20/01/2020 13:37

Ate cat poo, vomited cat poo back up, ate cat poo vomit 🤮

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 20/01/2020 13:35

We had a (now sadly departed) Jack Russell. The first time my brother met him, he picked him up, and the dog was getting really excited at meeting this lovely friendly new person...

A little too excited. He ejaculated down my brother's tie. Blush
