My cat once knocked an entire vase of fresh flowers off the kitchen table. I wasn't in the room at the time but I believe it was during a fight with another neighborhood cat. Didn't see him for the rest of the day after that. I think he knew I wouldn't be happy with him.

DHamster #3: chewed through the router cable the night before I started a new job (in lockdown, WFH on a laptop). We didn't realise what had happened until BT turned up a week later to investigate but luckily Vodafone gave me unlimited data for the week so I could use my phone as a hotspot.

My cat started a fire Shock

Dog nicked my DH’s wallet, where he’d put over £200 to pay someone. Found lots of £20 notes in the garden.

He nicked my phone and I swear, shoved it under the shed, where I found it, very chewed.

He and his brother pissed off after a deer for hours. It’s very quiet in 200 acres of woods in the middle of the night.

The horse used to regularly jump out of his field and have to be retrieved. He then took to jumping a huge ditch and had to be made to do a run up to get back over. Bloody trauma!

My cat enjoys shiny objects and she bit a special piece of gold jewellery my husband bought me for a “big” birthdaySad

DCat physically terrorised our postwoman and she (not unreasonably) refused to deliver to our house. DCat and replacement postman came to an agreement that she would escort him around the close and then see him off the premises. I think there may have been a wanted poster featuring DCat at the local sorting office.

Same DCat threw up in my handbag.

I bought a lovely set of top quality leather dining chairs off eBay to dress our old house for right move photos. My intention was to sell them on once the house sold to make my money back. Only the cat had other ideas. Woke up one morning to find he'd used each and every chair in the set as a scratching post.

Dcat was a kleptomaniac, babies teddy, pairs of knickers/bras, boxers, 19 B&H was the strangest, lighters, food stuffs and empty wrappers! Every day she'd bring something home until she got to about 15... I miss her.
With our dogs we have to hide remotes and mobiles or they will be gone.

  • grandma staying with parents, their cat got into her bed when she got up to go to the loo, and made herself comfortable under the cage which kept the blankets off grandmas sore legs. Grandma screamed bloody murder when she got back into bed.
  • One dog buried my trainers in the back garden after I told him off for something. Also chewed through the cable to my radio while it was plugged in.
  • current dog loves to keep her treasures in my bed - had to change the bed the other day when I found the pigs ear she had been given under my pillow. She is also the possessor of many toys which she has helped herself to as we have been shopping and which I then feel obliged to pay for. Same dog decided the other day that rather than coming with me when we were going home from the park she was not finished playing, ran off and couldnt be found until I got a call from someone on the other side of the park stating that my little dog had just ran up to her. Turns out her dog had a ball, and my dog was trying to get it off her.

I kind of like the naughty pets though - they are much more fun.

Only found out a few years after the event but our dog jumped out of FIL's car window when he pulled up at a crossroads whilst they were dog sitting/we were on holiday.

Jumped on the dining table to get a cuddly toy tiger while we were out, smashing two glasses to pieces on the floor - that was fun to come home to deal with with a toddler and baby!

Used the garden bench to vault onto the perimeter wall at the back of our garden, trotted along it then jumped down into two doors' down garden.

He's a pug FGS!!

FurrySlipperBoots · 31/03/2021 22:03

Not my dog, but my boss's parents'. She asked me to take it to the beach because they were away and he needed a run. I said yes because, well, she was my boss! Bloody thing ran straight up to a mum with her toddler, cocked his leg and peed on them!! I was running over to try and catch him, apologizing profusely, and he bloody DID IT AGAIN!!!! Blush He was a big dog too, properly doused them!

poppyzbrite4 · 31/03/2021 22:06

I used to do private tutoring at home and was talking to some parents about their child. My dog came running into the room with a dirty pair of my knickers in his mouth.

@Chasingsquirrels

My dog knocked a vase of flowers off the coffee table when he was about 9m, I'd nipped to pick up dc from school and hadn't shut him in the kitchen. I came into the house and was greeted by above picture. Who could be cross at that?
That's so sweet!!

Oh god, tell me about it. Smashed a beautiful 1800s teapot I loved. I never did find the spout so god knows where that flew. I would have tried to get it mended otherwise.

My oldest cat once brought in a magpie. I arrived home to see magpie in my kitchen window at one end and the cat at the other end not knowing what the fuck to do Grin

MaddeningtheUnhelpful · 31/03/2021 22:40

My old cat was a true horror! Used to bring me all sorts of impressive offerings, a grouse, rabbits, crows. She was a tiny little thing so no idea how she bought them down! She used to decapitate baby rabbits by beheading which she would tuck into my daughters bed Confused I used to get phone calls from a local nursery to fetch her as she was trying to hunt the children, and I've had to rescue far too many dogs that she was attacking Shock

Babyroobs · 31/03/2021 22:48

My cocker spaniel is forever stealing huge blocks of red leicester from the work top. He has also chewed one of my knee high boots, so I bought an identical pair , he then chewed another but fortunately was clever enough to chew the opposite boot so i still had one intact pair !!

Beamur · 31/03/2021 23:07

Such naughty pets...
Previous dog - several AWOL episodes, returned home by kind strangers - dog was filthy dirty, tired and terribly pleased with herself. Stole food. Rolled in shit/dead things. Persistently jumped on a pale sofa which was out of bounds.
Current kitties - knock stuff over all the time, broke a picture frame, broke an ornament, pooped in the laundry basket, have no boundaries, jumped on my head in the night, lick plates, drink out of glasses left unattended, hiss and spit at next doors dog and have driven my other cat away from her daytime snoozing spot. They really are hooligans..

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 31/03/2021 23:09

Sometimes one of them stands on the other and pins him down. No idea if it's always the same one being dominant as I have no idea which is which.

I guess turtles don't get much chance to misbehave Grin

Ughmaybenot · 31/03/2021 23:17

Cocked his leg and pissed on his own puppy. Dad of the year 😂

hellcatspangle · 31/03/2021 23:19

Our family dog ate my 18th birthday cake that my dm had professionally made. We arrived back from my party to find it half eaten and the dog looking green around the gills...dm was mortified and cried her eyes out, the rest of us cried laughing as we were all drunk. Happy days

LaBellina · 31/03/2021 23:20

Our cat peed in the pram once because she was pissed that she had to stay out of the living room for a few hours due to a visitor that has a sort of cat phobia.

She also has the habit of doing a no2 by the front door if she’s upset about not getting enough attention.

Couldbeuptheduff · 31/03/2021 23:37

Dear departed arsehole dog was very well trained, but everytime I used to change the sheets on the beds, he would jump up and take a piss right in the middle of it, we ended up getting high baby gates for all the bedrooms so he couldn't get in he never peed anywhere else in the house.

Same arsehole when he was about 1 out on a walk in the park jumped up on a kids climbing frame and proceeded to shit right through the middle of it, then sat there and refused to come down for nearly 30 mins.

FortunesFavour · 31/03/2021 23:44

I woke at dawn to hear a weird low growling/yowling at the foot of my bed. The cat was poising himself to jump up on the bed with the gift of a live rat writhing in his jaws. Grim. I love him but what an arsehole.

NanuNanuM · 31/03/2021 23:49

The cat licked a huge hole into a birthday cake I was letting cool. I sliced the top off that layer and continued.

Same cat licked all the open sarnies topped with tuna and salmon prior to a family get together at my house. My dad spotted that incident - we made a pact to not mention it to anyone else and both of us ate other unpicked goodies.

Same cat ate a bowl of grated cheese which was for enchiladas. I initially blamed the ever hungry eldest son.

We love the cat but we have learnt to cover up food.
