My ornithological knowledge comes largely from the 'offerings' brought in my the cat we had when I was a child, sadly.

Cat pissed on my brand new school bag the day before I started year 7. Mum washed it several times but the smell remained so I had the stench of cat piss follow me through my entire first year of high school Sad.

Ate her own babies

Cat peed on our bed repeatedly when we were on holiday. She actually did it in front of me when I took my suitcase upstairs having just returned. Ruined a very expensive mattress.

Current pets: cat brought a live pigeon into the house in the middle of a lockdown-WFH-conference call.

I wrapped pigeon up in a towel and took it outside, keeping offending cat in, and let thr pigeon go. Just as cat 2 came round the corner, and pounced on the pigeon.

Very bad day to be a pigeon.

My dogs have done some terrible things. But probably the worst was my childhood dog stealing my birthday cake and running round the garden with the whole thing in his mouth.

mouseistrapped · 21/11/2020 21:32

Our dog had the bad runs (unknown at the time) while we were camping. He is v long haired particularly down the legs (this is relevant) - he whimpered for the loo at 2am
So we let him out and he ran back in and jumped On our bed. You can imagine the scene of horror. 2 young children then woke up... oh god I feel sick even thinking about it now!

buckleten · 21/11/2020 21:36

My dog, who was and is perfectly housetrained, peed on a friend's rustic brick fireplace - I think he had only ever associated bricks with outside before, and got confused!!

wonderstuff · 21/11/2020 21:41

I have a few. Cats are indeed arseholes.
We had a cat who would express her displeasure by pissing on our stuff, washing basket or bed if we went away for a few days (someone was coming in to feed her, she had access to cat flap and litter tray she never used) sofa when we moved house and our daughter's bed when we had her. She also was so mean to her brother that he left home, he had had a road accident and she'd bite his bad leg. I thought about rehoming her but didn't think anyone else would have her. She lived to 17!

Childhood cat ate next doors koi carp. Bit embarrassing

Current cats bring in live mice and lose them. One that was dead, and in several pieces was found by the roomba before we found it. Did bring in a quite large rabbit (alive) and lose it in our bedroom. Dickhead.

My childhood cat was not very sociable.
My dsis had a friend who was scared of cats.
Don't worry, we said, she won't hurt you.
5 minutes later cat jumped onto a chair and then leapt onto the back of the sofa where terrified girl was sitting, ran the length of the sofa and jumped on to the top of the nearby door staring down and hissing. I don't think that girl visited again.
She also managed to pull the leftover turkey from the oven.

I had another cat who would flip the top off a sandwich, eat the filling and flip the bread back on. I caught her doing this when my dh left his lunch unguarded.
She left a dead squirrel on the door mat because it was too big to get through the cat flap.

My dog when she was fully grown but only a year old. We went camping and as my dh was heating water on the camping stove I sat on a folding chair with the chair leg through the dog lead. Some chickens appeared in field, dog gave chase. Chair went over with me still in it being dragged down the field until the lead came free.
A month later she did the same with dd as we sat outside a café.
Since then.
Dog regularly eats sheep, boar , deer, rabbit poo given the chance. She's often throwing up.
She tried to grab a frog and I didn't realise until I found her with saliva foaming around her mouth from the taste. I had to wipe her mouth with a wet cloth.
She ate a lump out of my dm's 80th birthday cake, luckily after the event.
Ate half a box of Trex, wasn't ill at all surprisingly.
After a party she jumped on the table and managed to finish the sausage rolls, a quiche and two mince pies in the 5 minutes before we caught her.

MajesticWhine · 21/11/2020 22:44

@buckleten - completely reasonable of him really, bless.

NotyouGuillermo · 21/11/2020 22:59

Dog pee’d up the Christmas tree! In his defence he was only 9 months old and trees were usually an outside thing as far as he was concerned 🤷🏻‍♀️

Zwellers · 21/11/2020 23:09

cactusisblooming so not only do not seem to care you cat is needlessy killing birds you leave them to die slowly and terrified in pain in a box. Are you for real. You should be reported for animal cruelty

Maria53 · 21/11/2020 23:11

Cat killed a robin and left it on the bedroom floor for us on Christmas eve. Can honestly say I've whimpered every year since when I get a robin card through the door.

TheCanyon · 21/11/2020 23:20

Every bastarding christmas fluffy goes and gets attacked badly, two years ago was £210, I cried, which is very unlike me. Last Christmas it was Xmas eve, they only charged us the cost of the meds. Awesome folks

cactusisblooming · 22/11/2020 07:44

@Zwellers please read the post. The "animal cruelty" people told me to do this. I'd hardly be making phone calls at all hours of the day and night to animal rescue and birds sanctuaries if I didn't care Hmm

First cat:

Brought home half a seagull. A very putrid half of a seagull at that. Took ages to get the smell out of the kitchen.

Second cat:

Had a thing for chewing cables. Phone cables, mobile phone charger cables, game controller cables, I went through loads of them as she would chew the end part so that they wouldn't work ever again.

Had to get the hall flooring replaced because she liked to get her front paws under the skirting boards and sharpen her claws on the edges of the floorboards until there were large gaps everywhere.

Puked everywhere on an almost daily basis just because. She would go to sleep on my bed, wake up, puke, move to the other side of the bed and go straight back to sleep.

Bring home live birds and mice to toy with and then dismember and eat.

Current cat: Is an indoor cat so no hunting and has no interest in throwing up as that would mean food going to waste. But he's a large bruiser of a bastard who likes to throw his considerable weight about when he doesn't get his way. He's a bit 'handy' with his paws so I have lots of cuts and scratches from "Looking at him a bit funny" or "Petting him once too often". He also throws a toddleresque strop from time to time and charges about the house tearing at the rugs and scratching at door frames.

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.*

Brilliant! 😂😂

MouseholeCat · 22/11/2020 14:55

DH adores our cats but he's got a mental list of everything they've broken or maimed. It includes scratching 2 pieces of brand new wood furniture within a week of buying them, smashing the screen of his expensive gaming laptop, breaking a brand new aquarium light and sampling fish from his aquarium.

Sideorderofchips · 22/11/2020 15:23

Big cat: shits in my bed, vomited on my bed whilst I was asleep and I rolled over into it, destroys my carpet

Little cat: destroys the Christmas tree, the carpet and likes to passively aggressively knock things onto the floor whilst staring you in the face. I have attached pictures of the buggers.

My sisters cat once shat and pissed on her bed at home. Mum and dad didn't realise until my sister got back from holiday with her boyfriend and went into her room to find a few days old shit and piss Grin

Neighbour just told me my cat keeps sitting on their doorstep waiting to be let in. Previous owners had kept feeding her when we told them not to. When new neighbours open to the door to postman she runs past them and hides in the house. I've told them to spray her with water 😂

puzzledquiz · 22/11/2020 15:36

Dms dogs: licked several holes in the plaster on the walls, chewed through the telephone wire, licked the gout from between the tiles on the kitchen floor.
One destroyed the fridge by getting it open then chewing through the base, the same one also nearly blew up the house by chewing a copper gas pipe and puncturing it!
Had to get a bolt on the outside of the kitchen door as they worked out how to open it and kept setting the alarm off

Ddogs cost them hundreds over the years

TrySarahTops · 22/11/2020 17:49

My cat was rehomed because she hates other cats. We are in a low cat population area, but there's still enough cats for her to fight with.

Found out (after we got her) that her party trick for when she fights other cats is to shit herself.

It gets everywhere and I mean everywhere. Worse thing is the way she scratches and goes wild when you try and wash said shit off her.

Not fun! Thankfully, it doesn't happen that often.

Tried to eat a hedgehog 😱🙈
