To think animals are just disgusting?

[Stinkyminkymoo]

I'm house sitting for my parents and am sitting on the sofa bf the baby and the cat has shot across the room back & forth because she has a shit stuck in her bum. Got DH to pull it out but luckily for both him & the cat it fell out before he did.

He then left to go home and the dog was sick. Then ate it. Boak.

This is why I love my horses, no arse-then-face licking, no eating-shit/vom and no rolling in stinky dead animals.

Anyone else got rank animals?

How dare you suggest my beautiful cat isn't clean!

I hate going down my sister's though, she has a dog which every chance it gets humps his teddy bear, spouts a massive (MASSIVE) erection and just sits there and licks it, panting, in the living room! And everyone is just sitting there pretending nothing is happening!

This is why my cat is neutered

[catladycourtney1]

Ohhelp some animals (I know cats and dogs do, and rabbits and guinea pigs, I can't really comment on what else) have glands either side of their bumhole that emit a smelly, greasy liquid, that helps to lubricate things and mark territory. These glands can get blocked and impacted, which can cause the animal a lot of discomfort, and so they need to be "expressed" - which means squeezing them, or in some cases, inserting a digit and kind of pushing on them from the inside to force the blockage out. Needless to say, it's not a pleasant job, and the stuff that comes out STINKS.

Oh God there is nothing like the smell of an impacted boar guinea pig. My poor old piggies was regularly held over the toilet. I bought a box of latex gloves from the chemist especially for the job. Poor little buggger it did make him look pop-eyed .

What is really nice is when the guinea pig eats what has just been removed from his anal sac!!!
And they produce soft pellets that they eat for the nutrients. Once fed one of these back to GP who had left it on the carpet ... DD 16 face was a picture, I was wetting myself at her expression as GP chomped happily!

Bloody hell, fridayfreedom - I thought for a moment there you'd fed the guinea pig turd to your grand-parent!

[fridayfreedom]

Oh, sorry , guinea pig of course not granny or local Dr !!

[Naysa]

Arf at feeding Guinea pig arse pellets to the grand kids!

My puppy is lovely and clean to be fair.

My cats are vile. Particulalarly the wilder one. He often goes on a wander (up to 5 days) and comes back with his own shit matted into his fur,around his bum,all down his legs. The last time I could smell him before I saw him and there were solid little turds matted in there. Had to clean him up whilst heaving.

The indoor cat is a bit unclean but just let's the puppy groom him wait she's not that lovely and clean actually .

They're both quite long haired though so maybe that's why? They're beautiful but I'm never getting long haired cats again! The odd thing with the wandering one is he's been neutered (as has indoor cat) and still wanders.

Aaaaaaaargh! I've just watched a guinea pig having his anal sack issues dealt with on YouTube thanks for that!

[fridayfreedom]

Ha ha ha, guinea pigs have yucky bits but they are adorable so you can forgive them!

[bootsycollins]

Guinea Pigs have always had a very special place in my heart, I love their skinny little legs and that cute squeaky noise they make. At our local petting zoo they have a Guinea utopia (actually it's a shed with about 15 piggies living in peace and harmony) they have drainpipe entries/exits and you never know who'll appear next, like a piggy red carpet. I'm in bulk at the ones that have the tousled bed head look and look like they've just fell out of bed cute!

[Stinkyminkymoo]

Wow this thread has expanded my knowledge of guinea pigs! I thought they were cute little things!

We once took our dog out for a walk she started scraping her bum on the floor an I noticed she had a poo stuck as she dragged her arse on the road and she had a bit of plastic hanging out of it that my DH had to pull out with a large leaf. Lovely!

[Arcticwaffle]

I used to look after a dog that ate used tampons which came up with sewage in the back yard (student house), and then the dog excreted the used tampons while being taken for a walk down the road.
Lovely.

The same dog also ate live maggots from fishermen in the park.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

My dog eats stuff. Any and all stuff.

She had to have a massive operation to remove a sock that had tangled around her intestines, it had been there so long it was rotten. Mmm

She also got so backed up once (after eating her entire lead ) that she vomited poo.

Her finest hour though was getting into the cat litter tray, eating a load of cat shit, puking said shit, then eating the puke.

My cats hump each other. They're brothers and both neutered. The tend to do it outside, they have a favourite 10ft high garden wall, you know, nice and visible. They start by sniffing each other then it all gets out of hand; one or both will get their lipstick out and just do what comes naturally. Incestuous gay catty bum sex. That's how we roll.

[mrsjay]

Dont you need to do something rank to male horses and their bits Im sure my friend has to de muck her horse

[Miggsie]

I think it is becuase when we domesticate animals we put them in an unnatural environment...imagine if you put a human in a small cage forever, or only let them walk 2 streets for the rest of their life.

All animals have bodily functions and humans are animals too.

[StinkyWicket]

I actually feel quite bilious reading this thread.

THIS is why I don't have animals. That and the fact I have children instead

[mrsjay]

That and the fact I have children instead

children can be pretty vile too on the body fluid front

[irishchic]

Right that's it, after reading this thread I am NEVER EVER going to give in to my dc's pleading to get a dog/cat/guinea pig etc. In fact i shall just show them this thread and hope it turns them off the idea!!!

[sydlexic]

Thanks for helping with the diet. I have gone off the idea of lunch completely.

[Binkyridesagain]

My dogs are partial to owl pellets, bird shit, cat shit vomit from any species and rotten carcasses, they're still more hygienic than a teenager.

[miranda13]

Animals are disgusting because they don't have a sense of disgust like humans do. We don't eat our own faeces, we don't walk up to each other in the street and smell each other's anus holes, spray piss and then sniff each others piss, or watch our neighbour vomit and then eagerly lick it up off the pavement. I'm baffled by the need to clean a horses cheesy dick though, surely nature normally takes care of such things?

[willyoulistentome]

My horse is a mare, so I get the mucky back legs and 'tarting'. A bit smelly, but nothing too vile. Who says wild horses don't get 'dong cheese'?? I bet they do!!. If they really don't get such a build up I would say it is because they would be stallions and not geldings, so their dongs get a bit more in out cleaning action.

By the way horses poos are fine and don't smell bad. Dog poo -- yak!

[HecateWhoopass]

If I give in to temptation and google anal sack because of this thread, you're ALL going on my shit list.

Every one of you

My friend's cat used to come into her bed and sleep on the pillow around her head. One morning she woke to a strange smell and found cat shit all over her pillow and in her hair.

Our old family cat used to have a love/hate relationship with my Dad. When I went to uni he started shitting in my Dad's bed. That finally stopped, but after a week Dad found the cat had been using the fruit bowl as a urinal. I just hope he was in the habit of washing his fruit before eating it.
