What is the worst thing your pet has done?

[TruiColours]

whither that be a current pet or a previous one

i would say

peeing on my brothers bed.

A previous hamster chewed holes in the floor length, room width lined curtains I had saved up and waited two years to buy in my first home.
Admittedly, it was me who had left his cage touching the curtains when I went to bed.

I don't have a pet but I love this thread.

Oh, when my DD had hamsters never again one killed his DB. That was actually very sad.

steppedog is a rescue and will eat anything and do anything to get to food.

friends round, biscuits/cake on coffee table, see friends off at front door, all the sancks gone. Every. Single. Time (because I am stupid and forget)

But the worst:

1. eating dd's birthday cake, pushed to back of the cooker, but the board was quite big. Fortunatey it was after the party so we had done candles and eaten some of it.
2. killing one of our chickens, through the fence. The dog had unknown to us worked a hole in the fence, so one day when the chicken got too close he got her

Oh another food one.
He stayed at friends when we were on holiday. 2 snall children and she made them a pizza for tea. Pizza on work surface, she turned roudn to get plates and turned back, he'd pinched the pizza.
She was very nice about it when she told me. I'd have been blloming furious. (not least because you have 2 hungry children and no food)

About ten years ago, I had been shopping and - in a moment of absolute lunacy bought these fabulous, super-soft designer leather jeans that were way, way beyond my budget (quite a few hundreds of pounds beyond what I would normally spend on a pair of jeans). I got home and once the madness passed, resolved to take them back. I left them on the bed in the spare room - where one of my cats promptly weed on them. The only time she had ever gone outside her litter tray.

I still have the jeans. If you see somebody wandering about in a gorgeous pair of blue leather pants with a big faded wee stain down one leg, that’ll be me. Damn things cost so much I have to wear them until they actually fall apart.

Don't read this one if you are squeamish.

An ex bf had turtles in a large (very large) tank. He also had newts.
One day we realised that the turtles we eating the feet of the newts, yes literally eating them alive.

It was awful actually, quite traumatic

Christmas Turkey sitting on the kitchen work top cooling.
Normally a well behaved dog weighed up the consequences and decided having a taste of the Turkey was worth the telling off.
He farted for days after

My springer managed to remove the foil from an enormous lasagna that was sitting at the back of the kitchen counter, then proceeded to lick the top with such precision he only removed the prosciutto... I then questioned my husband as to why he'd taken such offence to prosciutto on the lasagna and removed it.... the blank look I received in return was explained when DDog strolled in with cheese all over his face. 6 hours work down the drain. God, I loved that dog but that night I could have throttled him

My younger dog found an escape hole in my 'safe' walking field. I had to climb over barbed wire to get him back, knee deep in mud.

Never been so relieved (he hadn't wandered further as we were close to a motorway) and pissed off at the same time.

My cat ate my pet canary 😭

My DH wants to get cats and a budgie. I keep telling him this is a bad combination. Now I have evidence. I'm sorry for the loss of your canary, but you have massively helped me out here in guarding against future heartache!

Dog 1: ate a whole chocolate cake, had to go to the vets so they could make him sick. Along with the cake came up a whole red crayon and Peppa Pig’s jacket.
Also swallowed a fruit shoot lid when out for a walk and ended up having it removed on New Year’s Day a few years ago.
Apart from occasionally eating socks he’s now fairly well behaved.

Dog 2: pooed on the settee. (I believe she was pissed off about something).

Dog 3 (still a young puppy) wee’d on ds bed. Pooed in his crate and rolled around in it 🤮

Also another... our dog walker asked us to check whether DD's Barbie was missing her shoes.... DDog had clearly taken a liking to them he must have eaten 8 pairs.... must have been an interesting walk!!

while I tried to extricate it all with a cocktail stick

That's an image which will never leave me.

Me neither

I rescued my girl at 9 months. Gorgeous girl but came with dreadful separation anxiety. She destroyed 4 remotes, new oakland furniture and two sets of leather sofas. Also chewed my bedding, new built outside kennel, dog flap, two rugs and thousands of cushions!! I gave up work to be with her and she is tons better. Leaving her alone for only an hour caused her distress even though she had a brother with her. Both dogs are adorable but rescuing her wasn't an easy ride. Never gave up on her and love her to bits.

He threw up in my expensive sheepskin-lined slippers. Had to throw them out. Also, thoughtfully dumping a dead mouse in the DC's toy box for them to enjoy was not his finest moment. It slid to the bottom of the box and I only found it when it started to smell.

Pulled over a bench at the pub, drank the spilt cider whilst we were picking up the bench.
We made a hasty exit and he threw up in the car on the way home.

We had a large ginger Tom. One day he brought a live magpie through the cat flap. I was conducting a counselling session in my office but had to open the door to investigate the noise.
The magpie was flying round the hall, which is double height screaming and pooing. The cat was hurling, this is a big athletic car, around bleeding and spreading bird poo, knocking over ornaments and tearing up the curtains.
My grunting teenage son emerged from his lair and gave chase to add to the entertainment!

Pulled down the vertical blinds in a holiday let. My Dad had to go out and buy tools and filler to fix them.

Our other dog jumped on the new coffee table from IKEA. It just disintegrated.

Puppy chewed up a Clark's shoe while we watched him in camera and were only 2 minutes away. We've been lucky, that was the worst of it

My cat when I was little got into the wardrobe where my sister had stored lots of cuddly toys, sat on top of it and peed. Ruined them all

We got our puppy when our son was potty training - bad idea! There were a couple of incidents where the poop disappeared from the potty, and one where the pup helped with wiping his bottom

Childhood cat ate entire litter of two day old guinea pigs that my stupid mother had put out in the garden run. Also ate 3 budgies when my stupid father locked them in the same room.

Adulthood cat brought live bird into house while i was at work. Preceded to spend the day chasing the bird from room to room knocking stuff over so by the end it looked like I'd been burgled but with extra blood and feathers. Then threw up, everywhere. Which would in itself have been bad enough except I was in the middle of selling the house and as I came home I was met by the estate agent saying "we couldn't get past the front door"

Ex's dog once jumped into the river for a swim. Swam over to a small island in the river, ran up and down, refused to come back. Ex jumped in and swam to the island, only to get there and realise the dog was back on the riverbank. So he swam back. As did the dog- to the island. It took an hour and a half and the aid of a bystander to get them both on the same side of the riverbank at the same time.

this really made me laugh.
Surely you just sit and wait it out on the riverbank? Who jumps in and swims a river when dog is fine and unhurt? he must have been soaked and freezing.

@IHaveBrilloHair I've often wondered if he has a bit of MC in him. He's a stray so no idea. He's my favorite.

My previous cat once managed to knock down the Christmas tree when he was a kitten.
