Apparently there is a reason this phrase was invented. So I took a Tylenol with Codeine to knock me out and help me deal with these awful cramps I'm having. When, as I'm drifting off into sleep while Viktor, my newly adopted one year old kitty, is happily batting "poodle" (the toy mouse that looks like a poodle) around the living room, I am happy as things go quiet. When out of the kitchen there arose such a clatterI sprang from my sleep to see what was the matter Only to find Mr. Hellion had bored himself of poodle and decided to explore the kitchen counter, which is known to be off limits. Who knows how he accomplished this but he knocked over EVERYTHING on one part of a counter, including a glass vase which had come crashing to the floor, shattering into a gazillion pieces and scaring the ever living crap out of the cat. It took me a half hour to calm him - I thought he was going into shock or something - he was totally panting and making odd noises. Once I got him purring again, I locked him in the bathroom while I proceeded to endear myself to my neighbors by firing up the vacuum cleaner after picking up all the bigger pieces of glass, staggering away since I am high on codeine. As soon as I cleaned up the kitchen, there came a crash from the bathroom. Nothing broken, but he knocked a jar of bath soaps off the basin of the toilet, which of course fell directly onto the toilet brush, knocking that over. I think Viktor needs to be sedated. All paws have been checked - no blood, so at least he didn't step on any glass. Right now he is napping, looking all cute-like, until the devil living inside him arises again tonight for more mischief. Apparently I need to clear off all counter tops in my home, to avoid further trauma in my household. Feel free to share your crazy pet stories here.

My sister just called to say that the dog she is fostering for a breed rescue group is in her back yard, barking at a paint brush. Ha.

I have two dogs and plenty of stories, but here's one of my favorites. I was in my room on the bed watching t.v. my phone was in my purse on the living room floor. I see daisy my jack russell/beagle mix jump of the bed and run into the living room. The she runs back into my room stares at me and then heads back into the living room. I finally after about 30 secs of this get up to investigate. Daisy proceeds to run into the living room and start circling my purse. I stand there watching her for a minute trying to figure out what she's doing. She's staring at me and then my purse and I finally realize that it's my phone ringing and then when I finally fish it out and stop the voicemail notifications she gives out this happy lil bark and wanders off.

My little monster is a perky morning person (I am not). He has learned to make alarming noises to get me up, because he is starving to death and wants his breakfast NOW. One morning he somehow removed a large glass jar from the cupboard (without breaking it), and some pasta. I am thinking he was trying to make himself a snack?

My sister has a half wolf/husky who is only six months old. However I am quite certain that this dog is brain damaged.

Most dogs figure out that a wall is an immovable object and stop running into them.

Not Princess, she runs into walls, lower cabinets in the kitchen (two cabinet doors destroyed,) chairs, doors, etc.

She will run into the house from outside, jump on the recliner, which begins to go over backwards from the impact, and the backwards move is completed by Princess jumping from the recliner to the lounge, then to the couch then she heads outside again, to repeat the process.

I have two kitties.... Demon is a 16lbs or so fixed male (who isnt quite a year old yet) Egyptian Mau... And Elvira is a long haired Calico... who is a petite lil flower... Demon likes to be in the bathroom if anyone is in there.... When you run bath water he will sit on the side of the tub and watch it. Well one morning after a long night of work I went home to take a bath... and started the water I went out into the living room to grab my cd player so I could listen to tunes while I relaxed in the tub. All of a sudden I hear this splash and see my Moose of a cat come haulin' butt out of the bathroom!! He fell into the tub and was soaked up to his belly..He is such a cow... it was funny to see him with these spindly lil legs shakin them to get the water off...

Another thing about Demon I was laying in bed one night and he was up there with me watching the ceiling fan go round and round. He farted SOOOO loud it scared the shit out of him. He looked at his ass, surprised this sound could come from his lil frame ( lol), jumped straight up in the air and landed on the other side of my queen sized bed. Then... the smell came... he could make a maggot gag he stinks bad.... he smelled it sneezed and took off out of my room.... not to return the rest of the night.

My two other cats I had Zombie and Banshee were at a sister's house staying while I moved into a new place. Well they were gay I think.My sister was sleeping while the cats were getting it on on top of her.... She woke up and startled them and somehow ended up with cat jizz in her hair .... reminded me of the Something about Mary scene where he had jizz on his ear and he said it was hair gel and she used it in her hair and made her hair stand straight up !!!

Thought everyone might like to read the stories....

Peace ...

My one little furbaby, Smooch, is a terrible little thief. And that's without opposable thumbs......his favorite thing to pilfer is cash money.....not the shiny little jingly stuff either! He goes after the big bills! I moved the couch once to clean out all the toys under it, and found $50, 2 20's and a 10, that he had snatched out of my purse. I didn't even notice it was gone! I know it was him, because I have caught him in the act several times. He also steals my thread when I'm cross-stitching...even when I'm sitting right there! And he shows absolutely NO remorse when he's caught!

One day, all 3 of my monsters were watching the birds on the dining room table....I had tossed my cell phone on the table with my fanny pack. I had forgotten I'd set the alarm on it.....it went off, both ring and vibrate, and I swear, they all came up off the table a good 3 feet, turned in mid-air, and took off for the hills! They moved so fast, I swear they left stripes behind on the table! They came out of the bedroom one step at a time, all foofed up, eyes as big as saucers. I laughed for 5 minutes!

I also have one that does the bathroom thing....Boo always comes charging in like a herd of buffalo, jumps on the toilet and then up to the sink. Well, one day, the lid was up on the toilet, he forgot about it, came barreling in....yep....SPLASH!!!!! Head first, right into the bowl. Really wounded his feelings when I roared out loud! He left the bathroom, tail high, feet shaking and snorting water from his nose.

I keep them around for their entertainment value.....priceless!

That is too funny... I work in a cab office.... and there are three cats here... Spaz is the original office cat.. an then two drivers have brought their kitties in .. Lily is gonna be a mommy and Tigger is going to be with her owner soon in a new home... but anyway there are two bathrooms here. One for the guys ( that no self respecting person would even think about using... but the drivers do)... and the girls bathroom is always clean .. cause I make sure of it .. lol. But the cats always have to go into the mens bathroom and drink out of the toilet and every once in awhile you will hear a splash and a wet kitty comes out with hurt feelings lol...

Billy, my ball o fluffy, Loves laying on my see threw glass tables. Well one day I left the door open or something and a cricket got in and ran under the table. Billy is afraid of bugs? That cricket jumped so high it smacked the table really loud! Poor Billy was so scared out of his wits he forgot the table was glass and tried to run, slipped on my papers, knocked over my vase, a lamp, my purse, and then promptly fell into my laundry basket. I almost peed my self laughing.

now THAT one made me laugh out loud...i did that one time when Spike the Amazing Wonder Dog was sleeping & he leaped up barking for all the world like we were being invaded!!

i had a cat one time who loved to just watch the water swirl down the toilet...one night, my husband went in & came back without lowering the lid...pretty soon, i hear the cat meowing, so i go in there & she looks imploringly at me to make the water do the cool thing again...i served her in this fashion 3 or 4 more times & just as i climbed into bed after the last time, we heard a splash!! she'd become so engrossed in the lights & shadows that she tried too hard to touch them & fell right in!! who doesn't love the sight of a wet cat???

My old man dog, Sam, had to go outside late one night. He got me up out of bed to let him out, in fact, and he'd been acting strangely all day. Due to his age and some miscellaneous conditions, I was a little worried. I let him out the back door, left the door ajar, and went to watch a little tv while I waited for him to let himself back in.

He came back upstairs and inside about ten minutes later, but instead of heading for the living room like he usually does, he headed off into the office and around into the hallway. It concerned me a little more - it was out of character for him.

I went to the hall. It was dark but I could see he had his head down. More concern. I flipped on the light, convinced he was sick, and noticed that instead of heaving, he was poking his snout onto something, giving it some good snuffffffffs. Out of my peripheral vision, it seemed like one of the children's toys so I stooped to pick it up and realized ... it wasn't a toy. It was a possum playing possum. In. My. House.

Well. I have three dogs and four cats. And they were ALL interested in this "dead" possum. The children were sleeping so I couldn't shriek. I couldn't let it stay in the house so there was nothing left to do but ... pick it up. I grabbed a towel and picked it up, holding it away from my body, praying it wouldn't bite my arm off, the dogs going nuts, jumping up and trying to get it, the cats all around my feet looking up as if I were holding a nice juicy fish for them to eat, tripping me with every step I took.

When I got to the front door I realized that I needed at least one hand to open the door. One dog, a very rambunctious jack russell / boxer mix (acts like a jack russell but is the size of a boxer) started jumping up and down on his hind legs trying to get the possum. I heard it hiss under its blanket. Argh. I had to get the thing out of the house, and fast, but my hands were full. I eyed the door one more time, praying it would somehow open by itself. Alas, it didn't. There was nothing else for me to do but ... cradle the thing like a baby in its towel, pray it didn't bite my arm and / or boob off in the process, and open the door with my other hand. The dogs were lunging, the cats were circling, it was like a retarded jungle scene, with me sing-songing "Ohhh please don't kill me, don't chew my parts off, let's just go outside."

I finally got the thing out the door. Shaking, I went to the couch, hoping to get my towel back sometime (way too keyed up to sleep now) and really hoping my old man dog hadn't wounded him in the journey up the back stairs. Feeling bad for the thing finally got the better of me so I switched the porch light on and peeped out the mail slot. The only problem was that I couldn't see that part of the porch from that vantage point so I had to open the door. I was afraid he'd be broken somehow.

Well. The thing was sitting there, probably still wondering what the heck happened to him, and when I opened the door it hissed at me and lumbered away. What a night.

I wish I could say that this was the only time I've had a possum in the house. It's not. That was number four, and that doesn't include the other critters that have had help finding their way in. We've rehabbed more wild animals than I can even count. The possums creep me out the most though. They're pretty dang heavy and they smell like poo. (We live in the middle of a fairly large city, btw - this isn't the country by any stretch of the imagination.)

my daughter brought home a kitten one time & told me the saddest story ever about how she came to bring it home, so i let it stay...Boots was an interesting being...she watched TV, preferring animated cartoons....she had occasional seizures, usually on our beds in the middle of the night...her favorite toy was one of those little super balls...her favorite time & place to play with it was under my bed on the hardwood floor after i turned the light out to go to sleep...there was one space behind my closet unit where a super ball could run & hide from her...it wouldn't matter how many days ago she lost one, she would keep bugging us till we went and got something to get it out for her...she would lie in wait & pounce upon it & carry it through the house like dead prey...so, she was fairly smart & had a good memory...

one day, i was sitting on the living room couch next to the open front door & i heard her screaming...i went running outside & there she was on the roof of the house...this was a very small one-story house, so all i had to do was climb on a chair & lift her down, which i did, then went back to my studying on the couch...5 or 6 minutes went by & i heard her screaming again...yep! she was back on the roof screaming that she was stuck & couldn't get down...so i got her down again, but this time, i followed her without her catching me...she went into the bathroom, jumped on the bathroom windowsill, pulled herself onto the roof overhang from there, walked across the roof & hung over the front edge & began screaming again!!!

Ravage, our Pitbull/ Heeler of three months loves to chase us while playing. When running after my sub he divits to the side, and goes head first into an open door. The thud rattled to enough to make me jump. Ravage, not to be discouraged, didn't yelp and continued after her. Later as I called him to me, he seems to have a difficulty when coming to a stop. He headbutts my leg; painfully. But still believes it's time to play.

Not the most interesting, but you would think he'd learn.

I had a cat who died about 3 years ago that when she was younger you could throw one of those little balls with the bells in them made for cats in the air who would catch it in her mouth and then carry it around the house.

I have a cat right now who loves for me to fill the bathtub with water and she will just spend hours pacing back and forth in the tub in the water. The same cat will only drink water out of my bathroom sink or tub and has tried several times to shower with me. She has her own bathroom in fact for all of these reasons.

I had another cat when I was younger who was an indoor cat but got out once caught a chipmunk ran back into the house with it while it was still alive and let it loose. My mom was not happy at all. The chipmunk decided to run under the fridge were it only proceeded to come out to pop under another piece of furniture where it couldn't be caught. My mom was yelling at the cat to catch the chipmunk while she was clamly watching us run around the house trying to catch it. Needless to say we finally got it, but it was still utterly hilarious after the fact.

when i was a little girl we had two young mutts, cindy and schultz, who loved to chase each other thru the house. our kitchen was very large and when they'd get a head of steam going they'd both hit the tile floor and go scurrying across it trying to get their footing on the slippery floor until they'd slam into the cupboards and be able to change direction for the next round of chase. they were hilarious! i miss them both to this day.

Here's one this happened to me today. Like I said before I have two dogs Taylor is for the most part the better trained dog until we get around other dogs and is allowed to roam the house. Daisy is just barely a year old and much more destructive mostly to my underware, towels, and pillow cases.... So she goes into a crate until I get home. So after being gone for about four hours today I decided well I have to work fairly late tonight so I should leave work and get the dogs out let them have some fun go for a walk. The minute I walk into the door there is Taylor which is unusual because we have this game we play he sits on the bed or under the bed and I walk in the door and go I'mmmm home and then walk into the bedroom and goes where is my Taylor and he pops up and gives me kisses. Then here comes daisy. The lil snot has learned to let herself out of the crate and not only that but she has learned that if you butt my balcony door with your head a few times it will fly open so she had free reign of the house and the balcony and she was so proud of herself like look what I did.

I don't even know if I can start telling stories. Just imagine a house with 10 cats, 2 cocker spaniels, 4 ferrets, a hedgehog and a rabbit along with 3 human teenage monsters...... (Did I mention that I worked with several animal rescue groups?)

The worst, to this day, is the loss of my 30 GB video iPod that my ferret Queenie stole and took off with and stashed somewhere. I've never found it......
