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?

One of my house rabbits ate my very expensive orchid we got as a house warming present! Turns out hes learnt how to jump on the dining table..

This television was in perfect working order when we left the house.

The cat denies all knowledge.

We don't believe her.

My (then) BF had an Akita.

She took a 4 pint of milk off the kitchen side and chewed it on my side of the mattress 😠😠

My littlest cat caught a mouse and brought it in and ate it in a very crunchy manner on the rug. It was sickening and vile and put me off my breakfast. Fair enough: cats catch mice, and cats eat what they catch, and sometimes they want to eat inside. Vile but natural.

Then she started making puke noises. It went on and on and on. Then she threw up that mouse on the floor. And I had to clean it up. And it was barely digested. And it was all in pieces. That was not okay.

And was she sorry? No. No she was not.

Brand new bed and mattress and my pup decided to mark her territory on it 🙄 I have never moved so fast in my life 😂

BetterEatCheese · 27/03/2019 21:12

We haven't had a puppy for long but last week he chewed my daughters new trainers and stripped some of the underside of the rug

GoosetheCat · 27/03/2019 21:13

@spinn omg! 😱 Someone must have snuck into your house with the intention of breaking your TV, because surely your sweet innocent kitty couldn't do that! 😺

My now-late cat vomited over a cassette player some years ago. The bit where you stick the tapes in was open, and the tape in it was a mix-tape my father had made of his favourite music, which I'd found after he died. You can't save a cassette tape covered in cat vomit, it turns out. I loved that cat dearly but I never managed to forgive him.

Bought myself a £400 designer bag when I got my first proper pay check. It had a 3D logo (what’s the word for that?) and she shat right on it. Had to sit with a cotton bud scraping it out. Fuming 😭😭😂

Cat trod in my mouth when I yawned.

HebeMumsnet · 27/03/2019 21:23

Our last cat ate a mouse in about four clean bites, each swallowed whole. We know this because he sicked them up (in reverse order) onto the hall floor. It looked like a Damien Hirst. I was secretly impressed.

DownAndUnder · 27/03/2019 21:32

De stuffed 1/3 of my sofa and ripped my newly laid carpet/underlay up.

Stefoscope · 27/03/2019 21:33

My dog managed to break my finger, so embarassing having to relive the story to various medical staff and people at work for the 4 months it took to recover from that. If that wasn't bad enough, said dog managed to get himself beaten up by a cat less than a week after the finger breaking incident. He cornered a cat in the greenhouse, resulting in almost getting his eyes scratched out (needed antibiotic drops) and managed to slit the back of his legs so badly he needed a general anaesthtic and stitches!

In the case of my cat, the worst thing he has ever done is to exist Grin
I love him but he's an annoying wee twat.

Bahhhhhumbug · 27/03/2019 21:57

My sweet looking Beagle (nuff said) nicknamed Beelzebub chewed through to the inside of the pocket of my favourite jacket from the outside, that's right big chew holes right through to the inside. I'd hung it up and my mistake was to leave a slight grain of a dog treat in the pocket from when l'd just walked her. Damn you Beagles and your enhanced scent tracing ability. I keep threatening to donate her as a customs sniffer dog.
She once would not leave a length of newly fitted and painted stretch of skirting board alone and after months of her scratching and frantically knawing at it DH took it off and a solitary dried up tiny dog biscuit was behind it which she pounced upon with great triumph as if it was a rump steak. Dh called her some rather choice names whilst spending the afternoon replacing the skirting board and repainting etc.

Oooh, I've found home, where I can share some of the heinous things my dogs done.
Little bugger was on his 4th?/5th? Home at 10 months old, this should have told me something!
The little bugger was sick in my car on the first night here, spewed all over the kitchen, then proceeded to pee all over my carpets.

First night, it's ok, it'll be ok, it'll be ok.

Second/3rd day, all ok.

Then he starts ripping everything he can get to. Jumping up at and opening doors, jumping onto DDs high sleeper, destroyed her bedding- pillow, duvet, and pissed on it, then pees on her carpet.

Pees in the hallway, breaks into the spare room for a pee.

Ok...hes settling in, he needs more time.

He does the same to my bed, then a day later hes not only got through the new bedding, but hasn't stopped there, he also dug a hole in my mattress.

We were crate training him, all good. We left him in the crate for 10 mins and popped to our local shop for a pint of milk. I come back, and I'm shocked that hes at the front door.
He has escaped his crate and ripped the flooring up in the kitchen

Lots of pissing on carpets/sofas/beds
Ripped duvets and pillows and teddies.
Ripped through my bag and ate my medication
Ran at the glass door, knocked himself out
Ate a new Dior red lipstick, then when he was sick I was sure it was blood so his 3rd trip to the vets with him.
Absolutely annihilated the boot of my car.
Ripped my favourite teddy to shards last night.
Bit DDs friend (luckily he didn't break skin but we've had to get a new behaviouralist to deal with him, as first one was quite adamant destruction was his only choice)

For some reason this list doesn't seem as long or exhaustive as its felt having him.

goodfornothinggnome · 27/03/2019 22:16

Oh and he ate the waistcoat for DDs holiday costume, the night before she was due to wear it

WhyDoesItAlways · 28/03/2019 17:16

My dog knocked a bottle of liquor on the floor while I was at work and licked the lot up. She was paraletic and very hungover the next day.

Same dog has chewed through a wall, chewed a mobile phone and then chewed the insurance claim form when it came in the post, chewed shoes, hair straighteners, ate a light bulb (found the metal bit but couldn't find any glass anywhere). I could go on.... Pet insurance is a necessity around here.

peeblet · 28/03/2019 17:21

Rolled and got 100% covered in human (strangers in a bush) diarrhoea. worst thing I've ever dealt with.

Topseyt · 28/03/2019 17:42

Just remembered another gem from my Labrador.

We were walking in a field. He was running around off the lead. He ran to what I thought originally was a picnic blanket with someone sunbathing on it (hot day again). He didn't come back when I called him, though he usually does. So I strode up to get him and realised that it was a young couple trying to have a shag where they thought nobody would be. He was licking them all over.

I don't know who was more embarrassed, me or the couple! Blush Mr. Labrador certainly wasn't bothered.

My 19 year old cat Perkins was unwell so took him straight to the vet who did tests which came back as kidney failure. The vet said there was nothing he could do, he wasn't in pain, to take him home and have a final couple of days with him before going back when he would put him to sleep.

I had bought him some prawns (his favourite), he ate some and indicated he wanted to go out, I let him out and never saw him again.

I spent weeks searching even though I knew he had gone away to die but I couldn't stop looking - I never found him.

He did some crazy things when he was alive but that was the worst thing.

Stealing a leg of lamb from the oven while it was roasting.

And eating a packet of liqueur chocolates that were on the side in the kitchen. Kept on falling over, and did neuro little foil wrapped poos for a few days.

And eating a packet of cranberries that were inside the rucksack of a friend who had just come to stay.

Is anyone noticing a bit of a theme here?

ShaftOfWit · 28/03/2019 18:28

Neuro? Can't even remember what that was meant to be - pretty, maybe?

HarrysOwl · 28/03/2019 18:30

Had a lovely collie when I was a kid.

One Christmas we took him with us to visit family 1 hour away. Stupidly fed him the left over turkey and lots of little treats to keep him happy & settled during the day.

He was sat with me in the backseat of the car on the drive home. Halfway, he started whining like CRAZY but we were on the motorway.

I swear he gave me the most apologetic look before he shat out buckets off doggy diarrhoea all over me, the car seats and the car floor.

My aunt was driving. We were still 30 mins from home but she floored it, both of us screaming, the poor dog shaking with shit, and we made it back in 15.

When I think about it, I can still smell it.
