Strange animals

I don't know why, but I keep thinking of the Igor Character from The Mel Brooks Frankenstein movie (I'm having a brain fart right now, can't remember the name )

Marty Feldman?

My Dad's brother had a rabbit like that when they were growing up on the farm many years ago, apparently it had one hell of a kick and was more than capable of defending itself from hungry cats and dogs looking for a meal. Dad said there was one time it nearly kicked a tom cat to death after the cat went after it and when animals that got their asses kicked by this rabbit got near the property and realised it was near by, they decided it wouldn't be a good idea to go any further and got the hell away from the farm.

Very cool. He must have seen Monty Python's Holy Grail. :laugh:

here are my three...

they range from 150lbs, to 225 lbs.

and 2 of them love to play in the mud. i might bring them with next time i go wheeling... sadly i think they can get farther then my jeep


oh, and stories?

they have eaten floors, doors, ran through bay windows, sliding doors, front doors, metal doors, killed a coyote, ate deck posts, dug 2-5 foot wholes, killed chipmunk families....

i can go on for awhile

ONe of my auts used to have one of those many years ago, when one of my cousins was a little, she would use the dog as a play ironing board, one time he decided to sit on the same cousin's lap while at my grandparents house on their couch......next thing they new she was yelling for help, and when they got out there all they saw were my cousin's feet sticking out from under the dog. IIRC this same dog couldn't get off that couch once he got on and had to roll off onto teh floor, causing the whole house to shake. Another time Mom had loaded him up into her '57 Pontiac so she could take him in for his shot and couldn't convince the dog to get out of the back seat, so the vet came out to the car....only to get pissed on by the dog who didn't want the shot.

Marty Feldman?

Yup, that's who I'm thinking of, was the movie I mentioned Young Frankenstien?

Very cool. He must have seen Monty Python's Holy Grail. :laugh:

Nope, this had to be late 40's to mid 50's, so most of that movie's cast probably wasn't much older than that rabbit at the time

We had game cocks(wild chickens, not sure of the formal breed name) and Manx cats when I was a kid. The cats, apparently for the hell of it, would stalk the roosters(never the hens, just the roosters)and if they could get close enough, would leap on the back of a rooster, knock it over, then jump away and run like hell(cow-tipping, except with chickens and cats instead of cows and rednecks).
The roosters seemed to be in on the game too. If they noticed a cat stalking them, they'd chase it down and kick the s**t out of it. But only if the cat was stalking them. If the cat was just walking around, the roosters ignored them.

haha. they do what they want. if they dont want to, no one is going to move them. it took 6 men to hold down the one to get his shots

Growing up, I had a dog that liked to be vacuumed.

I had a buddy that had a Siamese cat, that was raised by a dog, and the dog thought she was people. Damned confused cat...

We had a parrot that would call the cat over and taunt her.

We had a koi that liked to suckle on your finger, given a chance.

Yeah, I've had some experience with strange aminals...

My last doberman... smiling... isn't that weird?
The doberman I had before this guy was addicted to Pizza (like a teenage mutant ninja turtle).

 

[Original_MudButt]

None of our 3 cats have hair....

 

[bigalpha]

I have a cat that plays fetch.

 

[AIbandit]

My cat is mute he doesnt meow he just makes an exhaling noise.
When I took him to our new vet after we moved the nurse shoved a thermometer in his unhappy place. The cat grabbed the edge of the table crying (in his own exhaling way) and she said "wow I've never seen this." she left the thermometer in his butt and invited others in to come look.

I've had 3 dogs, all who seemed to love peanut butter....



j/k

My favorite beagle was trained to bark at officers (in uniform of course) and if you saluted him, he'd growl at you....

We have a cat that likes to make clicking sounds at things like ladybugs. He also likes things like cheerios and lettuce. Frickin wierdo.

Most cats will make that clicking sound at bugs. My two cats do it all the time.

The dog I used to walk has the equivilant of Pika (eats strange things). On walks we have to be careful she doesn't get any napkins, tin foil, etc...

My gf has two cats. One is fat and will sleep on your face if you let it, and the other likes to go for walks and plays in the dryer. She went for a tumble in the dryer once. one minute in, they heard "THUD, MEOW!" and realized she was in there.

Our biggest (well, tallest at least) loves to fetch things you throw, but never brings them back. She'll run off and grab it, then run away. Our newest is terrified of vehicles. He'd be the perfect Jeep dog cuz he's friendly, calm, and short haired (no shedding), except he's terrified of the Jeep.

My old dog loved going for rides. She'd "break out of the house and go running through the neighborhood. Wouldn't respond when we called for her or anything. Soon as we got in the truck and pulled alongside her, she'd jump right in. Take her around the block and go home, and she'd be happy.

Had a fat cat who, upon being chased, would run for apx 23 seconds then plop on her side, mid-stride and slide on the tile. That was all the running she had in her. She also drooled when pet.

My wife had a gold fish that would do tricks for food. Shake the food can and he'd jump out of the water.

She also had a horse that thought he was people. He'd eat anything you brought him, donuts, carrots, cake, whatever. If you stood too close, he'd nibble on your clothing with his lips.
