What's the weirdest habit your pets have?

[killamch89]

I’ve noticed some quirky behavior from my pets, and I’m curious if anyone else has some strange habits they’ve witnessed. Whether it's your dog barking at its own reflection, your cat only drinking from a running faucet, or a hamster hoarding food in the most random places, what’s the weirdest thing your pet does that never fails to make you laugh or wonder "Why?"

My yorkie likes to jump up on my head and chest around 4:00 in the morning to wake me up to play. I try to tell him to go lay down but he insists. So I’m woken up by an over entitled puppy who is demanding that I play with him.

But if he digs his claw into my nipple again, I’m gonna drop kick him across the room.

Lol, the way how my do, Rex always wakes me up is by knocking on the door. To how hard he's knocking the door with his pan, you'd swear the police is knocking at your door or something.

I have three cats, and they all have very different personalities. One of them, Celeste, loooooves to drink water from the faucet. Whenever my wife or I go into the bathroom, she will run ahead and jump up on the sink before we even enter the room. A few days ago I gave her water in the downstairs bathroom, then I walked up the stairs to my office. She then sprinted up the stairs in front of me, and sat down in front of the upstairs bathroom door demanding to be let in. When I let her in, she of course wanted water there as well, not even a minute after she finished drinking downstairs.

Cats are pretty demanding pets, aren't they? I have a stray cat that comes and goes and she chooses to have her kittens in my yard and treat me like I'm the nurse on the maternity ward. Always meowing at my window for food!

I had a dig once that LOVED to play with skunks. I never figured out what the hell was wrong with the dumbass dig. While I’ve personally never been sprayed by one, I’ve smelled skunk enough that it honestly doesn’t bother me at all. I actually kinda like the smell.

I guess it reminds me of simpler times.

I've never really gotten sprayed by a skunk but I knew someone who did while we were camping in the US and he had to sleep outside for a couple of days. I swore it took a couple of days of bathing to completely get the scent off him. Just sniffing the air in his direction caused my nose hairs to start burning.
