what does your pet do that makes you laugh your ass off?
If i hold the point of the laser light on the floor just in front of him, Daddy studies it, then eventually stands up on his back feet -- just stands there, for full seconds! -- then begins to wave his front paws, then pounces. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I can't stand it, i pee myself almost every time, even though i know it's coming.

Your pets? Regale us. Make us laugh.

1. My dog used to chase the laser light until he "caught" it ...
Edited on Thu May-11-06 03:16 PM by LisaLynne
then he would chew. You know, like he'd caught something and then had to eat it. :rofl:

4. You'd really have to see it, but...
Once in awhile Lucy'll bring in a mouse and play with it, and her idea of playing is to fling it (if it's dead). Many of said flingin's involve a complete back-flip on her part, as the varmint sails... Dog knows where. One time it landed in a box, and I laughed so hard I broke my spleen. It was like she hit a three-pointer.

Aminals frolicking with joyous abandon are just precious. :loveya:

Edited on Thu May-11-06 03:22 PM by madinmaryland
to the other, and once in our room will come flying in jump up on the back of the rocking chair, and with the momentum it carries him right into the window behind the chair and onto the floor (CRASH)!

Then he'll do it a again!

6. One of ours likes the laser light.
But if you run it up on her fur and then turn it off. She freaks out and runs around twitching and licking. Almost like she is saying "oh get it off"

12. Poor kitty.... Your cats come near that instrument?
When I get one of my guitars out, our cats scatter. In fact, just the other day, Mrs. V. said, "Baby, we don't have enough claw marks & cat scratches in our nice new wood floors; why don't you get one of your guitars out and play me a song?" ;)

8. Kitten leviataing off area rug that moved.
accidentally (first time anyways) moved the small area rug our kitten was standing on. She leviated and landed in the same spot, one of those hops where they don't use their legs but are just in the air. Of course I had to try it again. She levitated several times before landing off the rug and the fun was over.

9. My younger cat . . .
Brigid is just 10 months old, and was a stray long enough (I got her at 3 months old) that she really knows how to stalk and hunt. She's just a spoiled apartment cat now, but she will lie in wait behind a door or other obstruction and pounce when my older cat, Ophelia, goes by. Brigid literally bowls poor Ophelia over! I have even seen Brigid pretend to ignore Ophelia until she's not looking, then pounce. It's hilarious! :rofl:

61. When our cat was a kitten, she stalked a cat we were boarding
She was like a schoolgirl with a crush

She would sit on a chair by the door, watching intently, and would pounce on his back when he came through the doorway.

About 4 am every morning, they fought. My SO would stagger out of bed and yell "Hat! and Gloves! Both of you! Knock it off or you'll be a hat and gloves! I'm not kidding!"

He was an older fellow, and none too happy. He finally found a spot where she couldn't bother him, and basically holed up there until his owner reclaimed him.

11. When Cindy is chasing her Boomer ball, Murphy will chase
after her and nip her in the butt. I guess this is what ACDs will do to cows when they herd them, but he isn't interested in the Boomer Ball. He is only interested in nipping Cindy.

Here is Cindy in action with her ball:


Here is Murphy standing guard over his cow (it moos when you squeeze it):

13. Dino occasionally walks to his food dish, flips over onto his back,
all four paws in the air, tilts his head as far back as it will go, and eats upside down.

There is no evidence that my cat is normal in any way.

of them.

Lola makes little nests of all her babies, as I call them... there are piles of them outside under the tree and a long line of them stretching across the living room.

*sigh*

Lola is a Pomeranian. Picture the prehistoric squirrel in the Ice Age movies. Turn it into a canine. That's my Lola.

16. My cat Carlotta will make prolonged eye contact with me.
She's already fairly goofy-looking:



But she'll stare into my eyes for literally minutes at a time, sometimes not even blinking. It's not spooky, but it makes me laugh my ass off.

17. Mine loses track of when the sliding glass door is open.
Most days, he actually seems to count the sequence of open/close/open/close; when it's open, he goes screeching to a stop a whisker's length from the screen door. But sometimes...BLAM!....right into the door (at which point he hisses, shoots my husband a look of death, and slinks away embarassed).

22. My dog chews his nails, front and back paws.
He has a really long attention span, too, so he'll do it for quite a long time. He gnaws loudly at them for a while, then bites at them delicately, usually until one of us tells him to leave it.

It's strange.

start her slow walk across the room up the pillows onto my bed, onto my chest (she weights 5 lbs) and look me in the eye, waking me up, eyes bulging, breathing asthmatically like a monster in a horror movie. Sometimes i pretend I am asleep and watch the whole thing. It takes her about five minutes from start to finish.

Dogs always want to lead you to where your going even if they have no clue where that may be. In order to do it they have to look back at you. Mine have run into walls more times than I can count.

31. Maxie
my German Shepard after eating comes running into the living room and shoves her nose under her big pet pillow and snorts like a pig, then she she pulls her head back out and wipes her nose on top of the pillow.

Also if she gets even a drop of rain on her nose, she frantically tries to wipe it off with one of her paws. :rofl:

Yet she loves to drink water out of the gardening hose and she usually gets soaked.



I wish I owned a video camera.

34. Whenever we get affectionate
She jumps up on the bed in between us, and stalks up the middle, until she's at face level, and then she plunks her ass right down between us and gives the silent meow.

We joke that we should have called her Birth Control.

35. Many things
the late great Joan used to unroll the toilet paper roll over the cat box by sitting on her hind legs and using the roll as a treadmill with her front lets. Watching her do it was hilarious.

Chloe also goes nuts over the laser pointer. We felt like we were being cruel and unusal when we used it, because it was so easy to fool her. She likes to play act, though, and pretend to be scared over things that are really not threatening, which gives her an excuse to galloping around the house. The sliding turns on the wood floors are very funny.

Daphne is only affectionate in the bedroom, for unknown reasons, on the floor. She runs in, in front of us, then stops her back legs, keeps walking forward on her front legs, and then crashes over on her side, with a thunk. A ploy to be scratched. She also demands to be let under the duvet when we go to bed, goes down to the bottom of the bed under the covers and hangs out for ten or fifteen minutes. She doesn't seem to suffocate.

36. I am sooo not making this up
This happened today. I get the dog those cloth toys with the squeaky thing in side. He loves to shred the toy and take out the squeaky plastic thing and play with it. I think he thinks that it is the toy in a box of Cracker Jacks. He will walk around the house with that thing in his mouth, merrily squeaking away while he chomps on it. I usually take it away from him because I am afraid he will choke on it. Well, he is now 2, and he hasn't choked on it yet, so I let him have it today to play with.

Today, while he was playing with it, he was laying on the couch next to the cat. I will post the pic below. This wasn't the actual event, but you will get the gist by seeing this pic. Well he takes this squeaky thing and (I swear to God, I am not making this up) tries to insert it up the cat's rectum. Repeatedly, and I mean repeatedly. Then he tries to stick it in her ear. Repeatedly and I mean repeatedly. Friggin funniest thing I ever saw.

37. If I ignore my boy Sheridan
he will lay down on his side and begin to do this sideways swim. It is the funniest thing to watch and what makes it funnier is that he will stop and look in my direction to see if I'm paying attention to him. If I'm not, he will begin to wiggle and swim again. Usually by this point, I'm laughing uncontrollably and calling him a goober.

He is a silly boy. :)

Seriously. He lived around the corner from a Chinese takeout joint. Several nights in a row he found cartons of takeout on the doorstep -- a mystery. Then the next night he saw Finster walking down the lane carrying a white takeout box in her teeth, on the way home.

42. Got one kitty that surfs.
Her little fleecy cat bed slides easily on the bare floor in the cattery. She will take a running leap at it, and can get halfway across the room that way. this is often while chasing the laser dot--which is evil and must die--or the fishing lure, but sometimes she'll do it out of nowhere.

(looks like the RCA Victor dog) is fascinated by clean laundry and especially fabric softener sheets. One day I walked into the bedroom, and she was tossing a spent fabric softener sheet wildly in the air, and when it would land, she would roll all over it and rub her face in it. :rofl: It was like dognip to her!

Oh, and she makes a nest out of clean, warm laundry. I caught her sleeping in a pile of hubby's shirts that he'd just taken out of the dryer and put in a pile on the bed. It was incredibly cute! :D

He will play fetch all day long with a plastic bottle cap. He runs after it like it is a scurrying mouse. Then he catches it and brings it back for another round!

Also, he wiggles his little behind when he is about to pounce.

47. My dog Rusty
If you give Rusty a rib bone for a treat, he will tear through it. He loves them. Just one problem: they give him gas. Not horrible silent dog farts, but loud non-smelly farts. He'll let one rip, then turn to look at his butt and then look at me as if to say "did you hear that??? Where the hell is that noise coming from???"

Bless his heart...

48. One time, I went AFK for five minutes. I came back, and
saw that my pet had killed five or six enemies on his own, without me there. I thought it was especially funny since they were the same level as me, and since the pet was an Imp he didn't have very many Hitpoints but still managed to survive.

49. Our dog sings.
If she thinks nobody is looking, our dog will happily steal food left out on the table or counter. But if she thinks she might get caught stealing food, then she starts to sing.

Awwwooooooo ahahwoooooooo wuuuuuuuuuuu woooooooo waoooooooo woooooooo.

She will sing to a single Cheerio left on the kitchen table.

She looks and sounds so sad, like she is starving, and if she doesn't get the food, she'll die. Sometimes her song has a little whimper in it.

I think she could probably carry on for hours.

My wife and I don't give her the food, but our kids probably do when we're not looking.

When we laugh, she looks even more pathetic and hungry.

51. Whenever our dog is finished eating, he has to run upstairs
leap on our bed and flop on his side and bark one single WOOF! Then he kicks like a horse, stands up and does it all over again.

My grandkitty loves the tub! It's one of those old fashioned deep tubs so we'll toss ice cubes in for him to slap around. Watching him run in circles and slide is hilarious.

52. My little Beagle...
Edited on Fri May-12-06 12:01 PM by SaveElmer
Jumps like a mexican jumping bean when he is about to get food...

Also, when he sleeps he spreads his back legs behind then and crosses them

My other dog Beagle/Bassett mix spreads his back legs when he sleeps too...but it looks like the landing gear on a space ship!

54. I must have the dumbest whippet in 14 states
although he is very cute. As with all whippets, he prefers to sleep in our bed at night. But instead of under the covers, like our senior whippet, he sleeps under my pillow. He usually manages to work his head so it is on the pillow right next to my head so that he can periodically lick my face when he feels the need. It's very cute. Why do I say the dumbest? A few weeks ago my husband went out on the back sunporch's roof to tack a few pieces of trim down before the painters came. To get there, he went out the 2nd story computer room window since it opens right out on the roof. Bright boy left not only the window open, but the door to the computer room open, so of course the junior whippet went it and jumped out the open window onto the roof. Husband calls him to come back, but stupid dog goes to the edge and launches himself off into the air. He landed on the ground with a thud and started to cry. Husband freaks, goes running downstairs, only to find junior whippet trotting around the backyard, limping slightly but not badly hurt at all. Husband goes back upstairs to close the window. Oy.

58. My boy rat terrier gets jealous of my other dog
if she is getting any attention that he wants. The other night I was standing in front of her and telling her how beautiful she is (without petting her), and he ran over and sat right in between her and me so he'd be the one getting the compliments. He had a desperate look on his face like he NEEDED those compliments. I couldn't stop laughing.

60. When Miss Molly want to play
And you're sitting in a chair or on the bed, she'll take her toy and drop it onto your hand. Repeatedly. And then she'll put her head on the bed or your leg and look at you with those sweet springer eyes.

64. Kamere attacks us from behind. Jumps as high as our shoulders
and digs in with his claws. It's hilarious seeing it happen to Mr. Gray. But hurts like hell when he does it do me and IT'S NOT FUNNY DAMMIT, STOP LAUGHING MR. GRAAAAAAY.

65. I had a cat who would walk around on three legs if one of her
feet got wet.

I also had a cat once that stole tomatoes from my garden...

All of mine live to lick the shower stall in the morning when I finish showering

Scamp was the consumate assistant bed maker. She would get under the sheet as we tucked it in, ooze her way out, then get under the second sheet while we tucked it in and ooze her way out, then the blanket, etc. She also had a fetish for corn on the cob and would steal the eaten cobs from the trash and hide them all over the house.

Thomas was infatuated with those little tiny brushes and combs which came with "My LIttle Pony" toys. Daughter had a canister full of them in her room and I kept stepping on them in strange places...then I caught the cat stealing them from her room!

Both Lewis and his mother Demon when they were kittens would sit next to the door frame and leap up to the latch, trying to kill the little hole that the door latch fits in.

66. my Libby loves to sing to opera...
and certain specific TV theme songs, and certain commercials. Especially opera sopranos. She loves the theme song to 'Survivor', 'The Apprentice', 'The Sopranos', and certain commercials. Not all commercials, just certain ones. She has a very eclectic musical palate. But boy, she just loves to belt out the songs when she hears one she likes. First of all, she will look at the TV, stopping dead in her tracks when she hears a 'good' song. Then she turns her head from side to side several times, as if to say, 'Is that really playing?' Then she takes a big breath, and just sings full out. She even tries to harmonize. She just cracks me and Mr. LD up whenever she does it. Its usually at least once a day. Libby's motto is, 'There should always be time for singing each and every day'. Its a nice reminder about what really is important!

Libby

67. Loki loves to take showers.
He's a rescue; we've had him for about 3 months now.

I was so surprised the first time he poked his head around the shower curtain! He's made a habit now of jumping into the bathtub and taking showers with anyone that will let him.

This morning, I REALLY overslept and did not have time for a shower before work. After washing my face in the sink I turned to find Loki in the tub, staring up at the shower head longingly. I couldn't help myself - I turned the shower on him for a minute or two while I got dressed. He sits right under the shower head, blinking his eyes, and occasionally turning his back to the stream to groom his face with both paws.



Did I mention he's a cat?
:rofl: he cracks me up!



Loki:

69. That is just way too cute!
Loki looks beautiful! Libby is a rescue cocker spaniel too. Rescued animals are just wonderful, IMHO. They KNOW they've been rescued, and really try to show you how much they love you for giving them a good home and loving them.

How does Loki dry himself off? He must be a sweet-smelling kitty all the time! Here's a smilie just for you and Loki:

78. Love the smilie!
Loki gets towel-dried, of course. And then he cruises over to the corner of my bed where the sun shines through the window.

Rescues are wonderful. They make you feel good on all kinds of different levels.

77. Oh my goodness.
Not too many cats like water. Maybe he doesn't like to spend endless hours grooming? :rofl:

Gorgeous kitty. :loveya:

74. Socrates sleeps flat on his back
and a 20-pound cat takes up a lot of space. :D It cracks me up every time I see him do that.

Ya know how sometimes you scratch a dog (or a cat) and you can get the scratching foot going in mid-air? Plato does something a tad bit different. If you scratch him on a particular spot on the side of his butt, he immediately starts giving himself a manucure. :rofl:

75. Winky slaps Cubby silly
It's like a Three Stooges routine. They play really wildly, but eventually she'll have enough of it and start to growl. He'll persist, so she'll hiss at him. The thing is, he's deaf, but she doesn't know that, so she keeps growling away at him, but to no avail.

Finally, when she's at the end of her rope, she powerslaps him across the face... back and forth about 20 times. It's the funniest thing ever. The first time I saw it, I laughed until I gave myself and asthma attack. He was stunned. He just took a few steps back, went to lay down on his side and started licking his paw. "Well, I guess she doesn't want to play anymore." :D

She's done it a few more times, and I've got to get a video of it. :D

76. My dog will sing with my daughter when she plays the flute
Full throated wolf howls! It cracks us up every time, she really gets into it.

One of the cats will only drink out of the toilet which isn't really funny actually, but wierd enough that it always makes us stop to watch. This is the same cat that constantly does battle to drape himself over the keyboard everytime I'm working.....

One of our very small ponies will rear back on her hind legs to look over the walls to check out what's going on in the stall next door. When she is in the trailer she will rear up every now and then to check on everyone else in the trailer. It cracks everyone up to see her little face peeking over the top. She does it extremely elegantly and with such grace and control it's amazing. But she is a busybody, no doubt.

:rofl:
