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?

When I was living in a one bed flat, before getting married, I had a lovely companion black and white cat. She brought a bird in that somehow ended up underneath my cooker. Only I didn't realise this, until my kitchen became full of bluebottles. It took a little while to work out what the cause was. Yuck!!!

Too many to mention, but a few highlights:

Mad spaniel I grew up with had a pet dead seagull that he carried about on his walk every day for a fortnight. He left it in the bushes every day then picked it up at the start of the walk. He rolled in it too.

Same dog found the inner core of a sweetcorn, (not even from our bin) ate it, threw up green grass and shite for a few days then had an emergency lifesaving operation - that's when we found that it was sweetcorn blocking his innards, and it doesn't dissolve.

Our first dog when we set up home together ate a packet of laxatives - to no evident effect - still don't understand that. She also got stuck in our bedroom as the door closed behind her. In an attempt to escape, she quite sensibly dug a hole in the mattress. This happened twice. Two different holes.

She also ate through a wall, exposing cables.

My aunt's dog, when growing up:
The dog was staying with us overnight. My Mum was steeping my Dad's socks in a basin on the floor, overnight. The dog picked out one of each pair of socks and snacked on them. So, five or six pairs ruined.

One of my dogs as an adult:
Got tore into a box of Thornton's chocolates from my boss, which was under the Christmas tree. Again, so evident adverse affect on him.

I loved all of these dogs, and all my other daft dogs.

My old dog was a little monster - but I adored him. he ate all manner of things including, but not limited to, a whole loaf of tiger bread, an easter egg, my friends slimming wirld bars - wrappers and all and erm a used condom.

He was the master at opening cupboards and drawers to find snacks. one day my friend was looking after him along with her three dogs and he managed to open her (6 foot) gate and let all the dogs loose into the park.

My other friends little girl used to love sharing an ice cream with him - one lick for her, one for the dog. So one day we were at ahorse show and I got speakin gto a couple with a young girl in a buggy. We were just chatting away and I heard the little girl giggling. The dog was only sharing her ice cream with her! I was mortified and apologised profusely and of course bought the girl a new ice cream. Luckily the parents found it hilarious!

He ate the Christmas turkey one....climed ON TOP OF THE COOKER and stood there eating it!

Managed to catch and kill a mouse in my house :)

The dog was hilarious! It was so strange when he died not having to lock everything away and keep it out of reach....

Insecure123 · 27/03/2019 15:13

Oh i also remember one time he appeared in the living room with his head stuck in an easter egg box ! haha

Topseyt · 27/03/2019 15:18

Another one. When our cat was young he came trotting in through the back door (open, as it was a hot day) with a dead bird that he had caught. A pretty large black bird. He plonked it into his food bowl which was still out on the floor and was just about to begin feasting when DH saw him and propelled him outside, complete with his bird.

He also once brought a live toad inside and delivered it to me in the living room (I was heavily pregnant at the time too) where it started springing madly around. Cat then just streaked off out of the house with his tail high in the air (I'm sure he was having a laugh), leaving me screaming like a banshee. DH came to see what was going on, and it took ages to drive the toad towards the open door. I still think of the two of us (OK, mainly DH) jumping around the living room after it trying to direct it outside. Grin

Just remember the projectile vomiting cat ate lametta off the Christmas tree. Thankfully it all came out again, but we had to keep an eye on the litter tray tray until we were sure it was all out and that no emergency operations were needed.

Another cat climbed the Christmas tree and knocked it over and a few years later managed to get the remains of the Christmas turkey out of a cupboard and eat it.

MysweetAudrina · 27/03/2019 15:28

Not mine but my dsis's. Her cat shit in the toaster. He was annoyed with her getting a dog. How or why he chose the toaster I have no idea.

Aimadre · 27/03/2019 15:41

Our dog broke into a locked room then ate all the food for my grandfather’s funeral reception while we were at the graveside. Then lay farting and snoring contentedly on a rug for the duration of the reception.

IDontLikeZombies · 27/03/2019 15:47

One hamster ate rhe other and then vomited it back up, properly grim.

My wee dog drank a guest's beer one New Year and then did dog singing all night - waaaah oooooh, waaaah ooooh, oooooh. Kept the whole street awake Blush.

IDontLikeZombies · 27/03/2019 15:51

Mysweet, I love that cat, 'Get a dog will you?' Poops in toaster, 'That's you told, ha, ha' flounces off Grin

Pegsinarow · 27/03/2019 15:53

Our rabbits gnawed through a fridge cable, an Internet radio cable and a TV cable (twice).

amusedbush · 27/03/2019 15:53

Chewed my passport to bits when it had five years left on it and we had a holiday booked.

Chewed through two Apple chargers... in a week.

Was sick in DH's shoe.

Squatted down and took a shit on the floor while I was telling him off for something. Fucking dick maintained eye contact while he curled it out, as well. He knew what he was doing.

SquigglySquaw · 27/03/2019 15:57

1 of our cats has chewed countless headphone cables, 2 Mac laptop chargers(replaced at £65 each), a lamp cable, brings mice in constantly (there's blood and leftover guts every morning) and the other has peed in every room of the house. I think I've cleaned it all then I find more😩when I think about it all, I wonder why we got them. Sigh.

sohypnotic · 27/03/2019 17:23

My cat emptied a, thankfully unknown, neighbours pond of large goldfish. Ate about half of each, leaving the rest and a large amount of scales stuck in a long hair rug. Wanker.

Same cat wasted the time of 8 firefighters, an rspca officer, 2 fire engines including a specialist one from a neighbouring county with hydraulic lift, and closed a road to enable said lift to operate, after getting himself stuck at the top of a 60ft in the middle of winter. Idiot!

makingmammaries · 27/03/2019 17:29

Rescue Brat and Muttface bolted off into the forest and emerged hours later. Instead of coming straight home, they went into Neighbour 1’s currently uninhabited place and Muttface jumped in the pool to cool off after all the running. Neighbour 2 decided she was drowning and tried to pull her out, only to be nipped on the leg by Rescue Brat, who thought he was hurting Muttface.

LittleCandle · 27/03/2019 17:57

Oh dear, loads! Hamsters that ate each other. DCat catching and eating an escaped hamster his first weekend with us at just 9 weeks old. My childhood DCat which brought home a vole, played with it for a while, then let it go under the draft excluder. I was sadly not there for the panto that followed, but DM and DB had the whole living room in an uproar (upside down chairs!) hunting for this bloody vole. At one point, it was sheltering under DB's flared jeans leg! Cat sat on the window sill, watching with great interest.

Current DPup ate most of a box of chocolate truffles and had to get his stomach pumped. He remains singularly unrepentant and is still a kleptomaniac!

GoosetheCat · 27/03/2019 19:44

Omg, these have been great! Thanks for sharing everyone. Been so stressed out lately but this has really made my day Grin

Our house cats have been wild. First time my partner met my parents, dcat did a steaming poo on the doorstep that DP unfortunately stepped in.

Woke up DF the morning of his job interview, just to let him know he was hungry (4.30am)

The worst was when one unfortunately licked the bowls of a very alcoholic trifle from DMs 60th and was hungover for DAYS. Whined no end.

Just yesterday I bought one of rubber mats to put by the back door it's quite big and cost me £35 quid. It was down an hour and I went outside to do some gardening and my arsehole of a puppy has chewed chunks of the rubber around the edge, it looks an absolute eye sore 🙈

Dd wore her new heels for an hour and put them quite high on the shoe rack and the same arsehole puppy chewed the whole heel off one of the shoes 😬

She's also chewed off the rubber seal around the door.

Ithinkmycatisevil · 27/03/2019 20:12

My collie as a puppy chewed dd1's wooden high chair, the legs of the table and chairs, all the doors of the cupboards of the house we were renting and part of the back door. When she was about 2 she ate one of dd1's jumpers! Literally just ate it!! And then completely ripped up the whole stair carpet in the house we had just brought!

I don't know how she survived her first couple of years! But she's 14 now and has been really well behaved for a long time.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2019 20:47

Crazy hound is currently snoring on my pile of clean washing that I hadn't got around to taking upstairs yet.

DrCoconut · 27/03/2019 20:50

My now deceased cat did a huge shit on my bed 🤮. And another on the front room rug, just as I was showing the gas man in to do some repairs. It stank to high heaven too 😫

Duffy888 · 27/03/2019 20:57

Dog snuck under the fence in the back garden and into the neighbours house and into her bed for a nap. Luckily she was a dog lover!

slipperywhensparticus · 27/03/2019 20:58

Ate my travel sickness pills twenty quid an injection each to make them vomit! Ate the Christmas cake after I had poured brandy all over it promptly vomited every where (saved twenty quid) and snored off the brandy LOUDLY ate a huge bar of chocolate there were 5 brown piles to clean up we are not sure from which end they came from my sister was unaware you should go to the vets after chocolate but the dog survived (the carpet not so much)

Damm spaniel was bomb proof

slipperywhensparticus · 27/03/2019 20:59

I know a border collie who ran into a sledge hammer too remarkably she was fine even the vet was surprised
