To ask what the worst thing your pet has done?

I got in this morning after doing the weekly shop to find my fur brat has chewed the zip off one of my sofa cushions and ripped out all the stuffing 🙈

And she greeted me at the door, proud as punch and wagging tail, the little shit 😂 I have yet to tell DP.

What's the worst thing your fur brats has done?

Oh god. Just remembered something worse.

Not long after I got my rescue cats, I awoke to one of them pissing on my bed. Arsehole.

NorthEndGal · 27/03/2019 12:13

My cat killed my neighbour's cat
She was good as gold to people, but hated other animals that weren't from our house.

Emptying my dd bag. Including school books, pencil case and calculator. Just because she fancied the danish my dd forgot to take out!!!

MaMisled · 27/03/2019 12:15

Ate my DSDs ortho dontic retainer. Her Mum went Purple with rage!

crazycatlady5 · 27/03/2019 12:15

I have been thinking of getting a puppy (currently have a boisterous toddler). Rethinking my decision after reading all of these

Prequelle · 27/03/2019 12:16

Ohhh I remember one.

When I was a kid we had boxers. I found one sat at the top of the stairs having a good old chew on (presumably) my mother's vibrator.

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 27/03/2019 12:17

For ages we thought the cat was bringing in worms then we realised they were probably mouse / vole intestines.

When I was in labour with my first I sent my DH out to walk the dogs, one of the bastard dogs wouldn't come back and DH spent an hour trying to catch it. In the end he was going to leave the dog as he was worried he was missing me give birth (I was oblivious as I was just breathing through the contractions and losing track of time).

Same dog ate my passport the day before flying, had to cancel our holiday!

Loved that beautiful dog, we had to rehome her with a family friend when our first DC was one as she just didn't like him. Broke our hearts and we still have pictures of her everywhere. Dickdog ❤️

Ha ha. Where to start?

My first Cocker Spaniel pup shredded the blown vinyl wallpaper in our hall by scratching it while I was at work. The next day when I got home there was an area of the wall (about 1' x 1.5') down to the brickwork with no plaster or paper in sight. She'd eaten it.

When she was quite young we bought her a large cuddly snoopy type dog, just a little smaller than she was, for Christmas. She ripped open the wrapping, dragged it out and obviously really liked it. One day, when we had visitors, she dragged it in front of the TV in everyone's line of vision and proceeded to hump it. I tried to take Snoopy off her but she wouldn't let me. I ended up dragging it away while she still clung on humping it.

Years later on the 1st night we had 2 puppy Cocker Spaniels DH and I dropped off to sleep in the lounge and woke up to find the new Chinese rug nicely chewed.They'd shredded the fringe then started chewing through the wool part.

A few years on and we can home to find DH's will and a credit card statement shredded on the hall floor. (We'd not long come back from our hols and had put wills in letter rack before we went 'just in case'). Strange thing was my will was still in the letter rack. .

Ddog loves having eating rampages. She ate MIL's leather sofa, slippers, laptop bag whilst they looked after her for us as a favour!!

yiskasha · 27/03/2019 12:21

Aren't they great 😊 wouldn't be without them!

SheDancesOnTheSand · 27/03/2019 12:22

Pulled the curtain rail out of the wall after skidding into the curtain and promptly sitting on it.

Also looked me in the eye and proceeded to wee on a duck feather duvet.

mirime · 27/03/2019 12:22

My cat projectile vomited all over the sofa while running across it. She also woke us up at 3am by bringing a dead rat through the bedroom window, the only positive thing being that it wasn't a live rat.

Another cat scratched lumps out of my £140 boots, also our legs, a nice paperblank notebook and a handbag. Oh, and the walls, and not just the papered ones. And the carpets. Basically destroyed the house.

A third cat pulled down our curtain pole. He also took out a whole nest of baby birds.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 27/03/2019 12:26

Just gone next door to let neighbour's dogs out for a run round and to do their business.
Discovered that neighbour's son had failed to close the utility room door....
Bins emptied and contents strewn over the kitchen & living room, together with clothes robbed from the dryer mixed in.
My cats never do anything bad - I'll ignore the dead vole next to their food bowls this morning.

Defender90 · 27/03/2019 12:27

DDog1 - ripped into bags of plaster, leaving a 2 inch thick carpet of pink powder in the entire hall, he was pink as well. He ate DHs brand new phone (DHs fault). He swam across a river and ate a human poo.

DDog2 - loved rolling in dead things, eating sheep poo, eating horse poo at the beach and burping all the way home.

Roomba · 27/03/2019 12:30

I need to show this thread to DS when he tries to persuade me that we can afford a dog...

DS2 and I walked past a house recently and movement in the front room caught my eye as we passed. Looked in to see a dog ripping a leather sofa apart, having the time of its life as stuffing flew all over the room. Tail wagging like mad, clearly this dog was having the best day ever! An armchair had already been eviscerated by the look of it too. I felt very sorry for the person who would return home later and find their poor destroyed sofa.

Fazackerley · 27/03/2019 12:36

Jumped out of the car window when the hunt went by and ran away with them, barking at all the people on horses then hanging on to a horses tail and getting kicked like a football, surviving, getting back up again and giving chase AGAIN. Hideous.

SenecaFalls · 27/03/2019 12:39

Not a bad thing so much but when I was a child, we had a Great Dane who got up to all sorts. One day he got out unattended, walked to the corner shop where he followed someone in, managed to get a huge bag of dog food in his teeth, and dragged it out the door. He ate the whole thing on his way home.

billydilly · 27/03/2019 12:41

Our Siamese kitten has an evening parkour routine; hurling her spindly self around shelves, backs of sofas etc at terrifying speed. The routine culminates in what Dd calls Alien Face-hugger i.e. a facefull of whirling limbs and claws. So relaxing.

SecretLimonadeDrinker · 27/03/2019 12:50

As it was a really harsh winter we set up a home for the rabbits in the conservatory and the next. Day discovered a hole in the corner of the sofa that both rabbit could sit under!

Spent ages lovingly growing veg in two large raised veg patches, both covered in netting, talked about harvesting veg at the weekend. The next day we discovered one of the bunnies in the middle of a destroyed veg patch, all but the spring onions!

Flibbitygibbit · 27/03/2019 12:55

Back in the 80s had nooooo money however was invited to a friend’s wedding. Bought nice dress to wear, quite expensive for me but was excited. Hung it in wardrobe and cute kitten I had wee’d on it ....

Same kitten destroyed my Christmas tree that we’d for years and years. Put that tree up about 20 times that year then dumped it. RIP Josie 😿

fairydustandpixies · 27/03/2019 12:57

My stinky hound has a wierd habit of poohing on 'things' when we're out - he'll find a single leaf, a plant, crisp wrapper, you get the idea. It was when he left a large present in a builder's tool bag outside our local community centre that I wanted to curl up and die. Yes, I did clean it out. Builder was far from impressed...

GarthFunkel · 27/03/2019 12:58

My childhood cat ate a litter of baby guinea pigs, a grown up guinea pig, 3 budgies - not at the same time - but my parents had a laissez faire philosophy over these things and also, due to his willingness to eat anything no matter how fresh, had a habit of puking/shitting everywhere.

My ex had a springer spaniel that was a little shit, he once spent an afternoon rescuing it from an island in the river that it'd swam to - so dog swims over to island, spends half an hour running around on the island until ex gives in and swims over too. Dog thinks this is brilliant and they both run around on the island until ex cannot find the dog anymore, but spots it on the other side of the river bank. So he swims over there. Dog, again, thinks this is ace and swims back to the island. Ex follows. How they both ended up on the same riverbank they started from at the same time I'm not sure but he never took him back to that spot again.

Oh God, what would we do without our fur brats?

Cat caught the hamster which had escaped from it's cage (unbeknown to us - cat obviously realised first!)

Pet rats ate my wallpaper. Started with a little nibble, over a period of time there was a hole about a metre in length.

A different pet rat bit my DD - he was a cocky little sod actually and the only rat out of 10 rats I'd had that ever bit anybody, he thought he was the boss (except with me) and behaved as such.
