To ask for your animal horror stories

[messybedroom900]

Inspired by a thread about a cat eating the Christmas Turkey!

I'm both intrigued and horrified by the rabbit story.

My childhood rabbit ripped a mouse to shreds once - it used to visit her cage to share her food. Apparently rabbit no longer wanted to share. She also ate a good few of her own babies.

Yes - the "local stud" was a rabbit, not Darren Bates from down the road!

Last Easter our Cocker spaniel found a kinder egg that had rolled out of a low cupboard.
I spotted her with it but when I told her to drop it and then tried get it off her she swallowed the whole thing whole.

it got lodged in her oesophagus and she needed over two thousand pounds worth of vet treatment to get it out!

Thank god for pet insurance!

A turkey nipped my son on the nose..... don't ask

My 2 cats just crap behind the tv. They Will not use litter tray for shits.
It drives me insane

My dog had to be rescued by a cliff rescue team on the Isle of Man
She climbed up whilst we were on the beach but we didn't realise she was stuck until we tried to leave
We had to leave her there for over an hour whilst we contacted the coastguard, she was still in exactly the same place when we returned.

Multiple dog household. They all had the same thing for dinner one night. One was sick. Half two in the morning and the others were all sick. I came down to clear up, one was doing it for me. Urrgh. One had tried to get outside and was sick right in the corner of the door/wall. That was fun to clear up.

We adopted a pair of shelter kitties (sisters from the same litter) who are adorable.
They also like to do protest poops to let us know when we have fed them late (by more than 2 minutes) or if we say no to more treats.
But they are cute and great mousers so they are forgiven.

These are brilliant.... I had a cat once, he was my baby (wee McTavish) he started getting very jealous when I became pregnant... we started trying to get him used to staying downstairs at night instead of in our bed, as when the baby arrived her Moses basket would be in our room and we didn't want him jumping on her. He repaid us by shitting and pissing in my deep-pile (very expensive) living room rug. Worst thing is as I was ill and spending most of the day in bed upstairs I didn't discover his "gifts" for several days, by which the rug was embedded in several shits and unsalvagable.

One of my cats jumped off the sofa one afternoon, ran in to the kitchen and had explosive diarhoea up the wall.

When I was a child we had a cat who chased frogs round the garden. She caught one once & swallowed it whole. She was ages getting it down. It was still alive. She disappeared for a bit after that but shat it out 2 days later.

I still nearly vom at the thought of it

ExpectoPatronummmm.........OMFG :-o

A friends dog ate a whole litter of kittens :(

A stray cat climbed in the downstairs toilet window and gave birth behind the loo.
In the morning her dog was making a loud excited fuss in there and she heard a cat making a massive commotion, she ran in to see the cat heading out the window and the dog doing something at the loo. She pulled him out to see him swallowing a kitten. She tried to stop him bit was too late. She doesn't know how many there were :(

It made me feel so sick for ages after and I really went off the dog.

The cat who shat up the wall in my previous post used to decapitate & disembowel the birds & mice he caught. He'd then eat the majority of them but leave me with just a beak or just a tail or tiny nose/whiskas.
One day he'd had a nice juicy mouse, he had eaten it all bar the tail. Vommed it back up then a magpie came down & cleared it up for me.

I didn't eat for 3 days.

I had a pet duck I raised from a day old. It slept by my bed and I taught it to swim in the bath. When it grew up it went back on the river at the bottom of our garden and eventually bought it's babies back to visit
Only it didn't - my Grandad reversed over it in hIs fiat panda when it was splashing about in a puddle in the driveway and my mum told me it had gone back to the wild
She was very very happy when some random duck visited with its offspring!!!
I only found this out quite recently

I don't understand the rabbit story

oh these stories about dogs eating other animals are so grim

Oh god, some of these

There's so many moments where I have thought wtf.

Most recent, just before Xmas. Old dog had an upset tummy. We knew this. She had been to vets and was on antibiotics. She is really hairy because of medication she is already on. She had that week already shat everywhere, mats, carpet etc. We knew this.....I took her and young dog out, she had another upset tummy. I was scratching around trying to get hose to wash it away, young dog bang bang bang and by some evil miracle opens back door. Old dog goes in and with me screaming nooooooo in slow motion, shakes everywhere. It was like a scene from a horror film. What made it even worse was two days before mr tesco dropped a six pint of milk. I had just cleaned every inch of the hall and kitchen.

I don't know if this counts, but my dog decided he quite liked the taste of my walls and skirting boards whilst I was at work one morning...

Not horrific, but scared the crap out of me. Came home one day to what sounded exactly like a screaming child. My youngest cat had brought in a frog, and was gently patting it so it hopped down the stairs, screaming it's little froggy head off.

DH put his hand in his coat pocket one day, after a half hour drive to find a very alive mouse that eldest cat had left there for him.

My mother ate her pet rabbit. It was during rationing, and my GF (bit of a bastard by most accounts) asked my primary school age mother, "Did you enjoy the pie? It was your bunny!"

My father used to drown kittens for extra pocket money as a child. He also killed/plucked chickens. One wasn't killed properly, and sprang back to life, with all it's feathers plucked off.

I rarely eat meat.

My friend went on holiday for two weeks leaving her cat with a sitter. First night home he climbed into bed with her in the middle of the night.
He wouldn't settle and kept wondering around on her pillow. She suddenly felt something wet and the most awful smell hit her.
The little fucker had shat in her hair!

My gerbils were suicidal & kept escaping, to be played with by my cats. One time I found one in the cat's mouth, got it out, to find the tail had been skinned so there was just the bare bone showing.

Once the bone had been cut off the gerbil was fine & eventually died of old age!

Oh, Hopping, that's so sad.

Dh then fiance moved in with me.... He had snakes I had gerbils.....

I very nearly didn't marry him

Why the fuck do we have pets? We must all be frigging insane!

Twathound has pissed in numerous places about the house, including the fireplace, on the rug in DD3's bedroom, in my welly, etc. etc. etc. He's also puked in our bed. Oh, and his farts smell like they emanate from the bowels of Satan himself.

I used to work on a racing stud farm. One of the mares in our care had been a champion racehorse but she was an evil cow. The only horse I have ever met who would attack people for no reason. I once saw her knock a man down then try to jump on top of him

She was slightly easier to handle when she had a foal at foot as she was a devoted mother and would never harm her foal, so you just had to make sure the foal was between you and her at all times.

She was so evil she was banned from visiting other people's stallions as she'd try to attack them, so she only visited the resident stallions on our Stud.
