Pet Owners Are Sharing Their Funniest Animal Stories (15 Pics)
One Thanksgiving, my dog somehow managed to sneak a full turkey carcass out of the trash. The only reason he got caught was because he knocked over the entire garbage can in the process. I should’ve been mad, but I love him too much. And to be fair, if I were him, I probably would’ve tried the exact same thing.
These are the funniest pet stories Reddit had to offer, and it feels like animals are messing with us at this point.

“Once I read that you can judge how smart dogs are by putting a piece of cloth over their head and seeing how long it takes them to remove the cloth.
So I put a cloth on my dog’s head (husky/lab) and he just stood still for about 10 seconds, and then laid down with the CLOTH STILL ON HIS HEAD! I thought I would die laughing.”

“I bought a big catnip plant and put it in a pretty pot on the front stoop. My big manx, Sebastian, came to the door immediately to check it out.
He immediately bear-hugged the rim of the pot with his front legs, buried his face in the foliage, and froze.
I laughed a little and let him hang out for a few minutes before grabbing him to bring him inside. The big guy hung on tight, and growled softly, so I let him stay. Well I went about my business for the rest of the afternoon and kind of forgot about him. Hours later, he was still in the same spot.
I put his food out, which on any other day would have brought him running inside. Today, he stayed put.
I called for him at night-time. On any other day, he would have hopped into bed with me to cuddle. Today, he stayed put.
The following morning, it rained. The mailman came. A man with a leaf-blower walked past on the sidewalk.
Sebastian stayed put, glued to the spot.
Finally, I removed the plant from the stoop. He acted depressed for the rest of the day.”

“I used to have a Quaker parrot that would unhook earrings and necklaces and fly away with them while doing his evil laugh. He also would fly into tortilla chip bags and try to eat his way out. He had to be supervised at all times.”

“Every dog has a way they communicate that they need to go outside. For my previous dog, a toy poodle, it was walking up to you and barking once.
Well one day we were all watching a movie when she walks in the room and barks. I get up to let her outside, but she just jumps up and lays on my chair. She made me get up so she could steal my seat.”
5.
“My brother, who is a complete slob and occasional complete drunk spent a weekend with us. Got hungry in the middle of the night and dug into the pizza we ordered earlier that night. Well, faces are far apparently so the slice ended up on the floor.
My husband woke up to our cat dragging an entire piece of pizza across the floor Garfield style. He had already eaten like half of it.
Same cat ate half a melon left out by same idiot brother.”

“One day I was sitting in my computer chair and Oreo walked by. I swung around and “captured” her gently between my legs. She was so startled that she farted really loud, which startled her even more and she started barking at her butt.”

“My miniature pinscher was bitten by a gopher one day. We had to take her to the vet because he was limping and whimpering. It was a pretty nasty bite between her back leg and belly, that little webbing area. I don’t know how she got bit there.
What I do know is that as soon as she had healed she started pooping directly into the gopher holes in the backyard. We’ve moved a few times now but she sticks to her vendetta.
Any time she sees a gopher hole now she’s determined to squeeze a little poo out into their homes.”

“When I was young, my family owned a very stupid dog named Chloe. We’d occasionally come home to discover that Chloe had gotten onto the roof and was eating shingles.”

“My puppy got outside, tracked my scent to my tree stand in the woods, didn’t think to look up, got confused, and spun around in several circles.
After turning around in circles, she thought she caught my scent, and started tracking me again; but she was tracking the same trail that she followed to my stand, just in reverse.
A little later, she ended up back at my stand. Several minutes later, our older dog showed up to the stand, looked up at me, walked over to the puppy, and brought her back to the house.”

“Not me but my mom, she talked to their German Shepard so much it started thinking it was people. Like if you don’t offer her social graces that you’d give to another human she gets offended and starts acting like a passive aggressive teenager”

“Grandma left her soup on the table and my dog managed to get up there and drank all the liquid out and was struggling to get the vegetables out of the bottom of the bowl.”

“My Gerbil used to sneak into my Bunnies Cage at night and then steal his food… it worked for months.. one time he did it in the morning when both cages were open.. my bunny caught him and started chasing him through the room parallel to the wall… My Gerbil runs up to the wall and does a 90° turn like an inch away from the wall.. My bunny cannot react fast enough and slams face first into the wall”

“I have two cats, litter mates named Odin and Zeus. I adopted them when they were about a year old. One day maybe a week after I got them I was sitting around watching them when something spooked Odin and he did that stiff leap into the air. He landed half on Zeus who was in turn spooked by sudden contact. Zeus does his spooked leap and tosses Odin in the air. They both take off in opposite directions.
I love cats.”

“I have three cats and used to have several rats (unfortunately they weren’t healthy when I got them and I had to put a few down; others died of natural causes). One rat, Rick, was my best buddy. He’d chill on my shoulder or chew on my jewelry, and give kisses.
My oldest cat, Havoc, is a known mouser, so I was worried what she would do if I let Rick out with her. One night, I let him down on the couch while I went to grab something, and Havoc jumped up to see what was going on.
Rick ended up chasing her off the couch, and she was terrified of him for the rest of his days.”

“One time, my mom brought our pug Puggers to pick me up from school. I sat with him in my lap in the front seat, and he found a beetle on the window and ate it.
Soon after, he began having a sneezing fit, and the beetle came out of his nose alive and crawled away.”
