I own weird pets, how about your pets?

[tantricia44]

I have 2 cats that have a strange taste pallet. They like to eat mushrooms from the can. Which is a danger to my mushroom stock. I love mushrooms, so do my cats. Other weird behaviors one likes to chase his tail, the other runs a hundred mile dash after going in the litter box. I'm trying to train them to be more like dogs then cats. It is really,really, really, really, hard! Do you have pets with strange or weird behaviors?

Well, I wouldn't call my little black cat, Sweetie, weird.  Maybe a bit odd; possibly kind of strange; but weird?  Nah.

My two dogs are complete oddities. At least, I often think so. I remember one time, my small dog was in my room with me while I was watching t.v. When I got up to go get a drink, I happen to notice her checking out her butt in my mirror!  LOL! I have closet doors that are full mirrors and she was standing in front of them having a look. I've never seen any other pet do such a thing.

I have a cat that has a foot fetish. Everytime I come home, she always sniffs my feet and my socks. I've caught her a few times with her head in my shoes.

I have three dogs. They are mother, father and son. I call them my little canine family.

We just have 1 dog. Sometimes a real pain in the keister. If I had my choice I would rather have a bowl of fish!

The best pet I ever had was a squirrel.  He fell out of a tree and was injured when I was in college, so I kept him so he wouldn't die.  He would go to sleep in my pocket.  He would come out of my pocket and run up my clothes and sit on my shoulder.  I can't stress enough:  the best pet I have ever had.

Wierd, Strange & Bizarre:  My kitten "Tuna" came home from a cat adoption center with a free bag of Science Diet Kitten Food that he refused to eat, and "runny poop".  He was starving and was trying to eat EVERYTHING but the cat food. I gradually switched him to Avoderm Kitten food (canned & dry).  I stopped giving him anything but the cat food when his "runny poop" condition seemed to be getting worse.  The vet thought another round of de-worming would help along with a change in food.  He was gradually switched to Innova (can & dry) and now the "runny poop" situation is about as bad as it could get (he makes it to the litterbox...if he didn't, I'd REALLY be STRESSED).  The vet is thinking he maybe has Irritable Bowel Syndrome and needs to make sure he's done with his de-worming to know for sure.  I'm stressing that he's a kitten and it's easy for kittens/cats to die, I don't have alot of patience to "want to wait".   (I haven't found much on-line that helps and I'm just trying to cope with the fact that this kitten might not be looking at a very long lifespan.  His food seems to just be passing right through him faster than he can absorb any good from it.  He's getting bigger but he feels so "light".) Most people I know with cats say their cats can eat just about anything and they never have a problem...I don't know why this kitten is having such a hard time.   
     If anyone has any kitten-advice or a cat with IBS and can offer some tips, that would be so great!!

My dog eats potato and other vegetable peelings and loves the insides of squash (pulp and seeds). Doesn't really care for his doggy treats though lol 
He's a cocker spaniel - also doesn't lick me in the face (just snorts in my face occasionally) and is super soft. Really more cat like (although very devoted and not far from underfoot, so very doggy there lol), which is definitely part of the appeal for me



Shery: So sorry to hear about your problems! I don't ever remember having that problem. Really hope you get it cleared up and things get better.
Only thing I can suggest is make sure Tuna gets enough liquid, maybe add Pedialyte or Nutrical so he gets more nutrients and calories?
Also, I think canned (with puppies anyways) seems to keep them in the soft poo stage longer, so try to feed mainly dry. And no milk, since most cats are lactose intolerant (although you probably already knew that).

I only have fish. I wouldn't say they were... weird...
