My dog purrs like a cat, and I have cat that will roll over and beg to have his tummy rubbed. One of our former cats used to lick bars of soap. My former Siamese would play fetch for hours with twisted up pipe cleaners. She also swallowed down about a foot and a half of a string attached to a toy we made for them. Luckily, we caught her and were able to get it out or that could have ended very badly! I always did wonder what she would have done when she got to the pipe cleaner "spider" on the end of that string! One of my youngest daughter's rats used to climb all over the cats and they let her. Hmm, I'm sure there were other crazy animals, but those are the ones I can think of right now...
I am so glad it is not just our house. We don't get any sane animals. Mountain Man swears we drive them crazy and I say birds of a feather flock together you know!
We have a tin plaque on the wall when you walk in our front door with a squirrel on it and it reads you are now entering the nut house.
I also bottle raised a steer that thought I was its mom and would start mooing everytime it saw me. Even if it was a half mile away it knew who I was. It loved to be petted and rub its head on my body. It was all good and fine until he was about 600lbs and his horns were grown out then I had to be careful. I called him Mooey and he would fallow me every where and would try to chase the car when I would leave.
A year later Mooey's sister Heffy was born and she was the same way. She loved to play in the water when I sprayed her with the hose.
Though my tricolor girl prefers plastic planters and license plates to chew toys...
Beautiful collie! And she looks so sweet! Patsy has lots of toys that she plays with, but let me leave a kleenex where she can reach it and she will shred it into a million pieces!
I have a cat who thinks she birthed my husband, children, other cat, and one of the dogs. She grooms them and takes care of them. She takes offense if I mother any of them. She HATES me.
I have a dog who comes IN the open door to pee on my floor.
I think they all just do this stuff to make us nuts
ETA: Same cat as above feeds her mice and doves she catches to our chickens. (sigh)
Well I guard the guard dog, and have been doing so for 12 years now.
I am scared of the hummingbird, Larry has been known to attack. He tried to kill eenie the other day.
and I am fairly sure that Teddie was dropped on his head a pup. He still doesn't understand how little he is. He only has one eye, from when he attacked the OSE rescue dog.
At least the cats are fairly normal around here. I think that is because my youngest sister get the really sickly nutty ones. That sure works for me.
