dog chewing on something

"Hey! What do you have?!"

Dog starts chewing faster

In my case, probably a hair tie. I kept wondering where the hell they were going, Id take them off before bed and just have them on my nightstand, wake up and they're gone. My damn husky's been eating them. Only know this because there was one in her turd the other day. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Lol. My sister's boxer used to eat her bright orange ear buds. She figured it out the same way.

Nothing will wake you up faster than the sound of your pet throwing up

The dog whimpering by the front door because he has diarrhea will.

I was downstairs and felt sick, but I was in the kitchen with a laminate floor so I ran upstairs so I can throw up on your bed.

Oh and when I'm done I want to be fed.

As a relatively new cat owner, why the fuck does she like to eat plastic? If she finds something with packing tape on it the little dumbass will literally peel it off and eat it. I don't get it. That can't possibly taste good.

My girl got a piece of plastic stuck between her teeth like floss and started panicking

Found her playing with another piece of the same kind of plastic the next day lmao

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's like I say to my brother, she's a huge pain in the ass at times and her saving grace is that she's absolutely adorable. If she wasn't so cute she'd be out on the streets lmao. She's a talkative little cat and chirps and meows constantly, it's so cute.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Mine constantly picks at the carpet. She'll be 2 cm away from the scratching post that I bought her and still do it. The other cat that I have the instant I put the scratching post down he instantly went over and started using it and doesn't scratch at the carpet at all.

However he takes up the whole bed at night, and pushes me out.

They are both irritating in their individual ways.

[–] HatFullOfSky@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish I knew the answer to this. I can't leave the thick plastic target-style shopping bags sitting out exposed anywhere my cat can find it otherwise the handles will "mysteriously" turn into Swiss cheese within a day.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I accidentally left out some plastic garbage in my room the other night, and I have insomnia so falling asleep and getting enough sleep is hard for me. I was just about to fall asleep and the cat started chewing on the plastic. I was so mad. She's lucky she's adorable as hell lol.

[–] mdd@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

My cats used to lick the tape.

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some plastic has fish oil in it, or at least that's the explanation I heard.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I wonder what the purpose of that is.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

It keeps the fish lubricated

"Who found a new way into the trash?"

Doesn't matter what I do, someone is finding a way in there to see if there's anything left in a food can.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have to put my trashcan in the closet or a closed bathroom. Cats for sure.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

That's the bad(and good) part with my lot. So damn intelligent and persistent, they figure out a way.

I've been tempted to move to child locks, but I'm half scared that by the time they've fully grown, they'll have figured out how to manipulate those. I know at least one has figured out how to unzip my backpack, flush the toilet, and turn on faucets. She's almost gotten down how to turn doorknobs by dangling.

At a certain point the most dignified thing to do is admit defeat and acquiesce. They have a level of time and resources unfathomable to most adult humans.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Child locks are the way to go. I use the ones that lock cabinets. With 18 cats

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Mine likes to pull open drawers, hoike out all of the clothes, and then sit in the drawer looking smug at the mess he's made.

Decoy trash can?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds like cats.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s the other way around for me. Opens bag of chips. Cat hears plastic bag. Cat β€œthat food is for me πŸ‘€β€

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Also my five year old.

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is the owner depicted as a cat? The only cat I know with a pet is Hello Kitty ☺️

Over time they look like us and vice versa

I have a 3d printer. My cat finds bits of filament that I do not remember printing

Little bastard using up filament, atleast their prints won't ever be longer than 8 hours.

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I once found a chewed up disposable razor handle. The head was missing.

(I found it later, not inside my dog.)

[–] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Switch to Double Edge Safety razors. The blades are like 10Β’ or so. As a DE (Double Edge) Wetshaver since my military days (2008) I can never and have never done plastic disposables since. Game changer. And Gillette made 'em so you can eBay a Vintage 1960's Adjustable for not a lotta scratch.

Alternatively: β€œWho’s barfing up road gravel and possum bones on my bedroom floor?”

[–] Zacryon@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

We all are. Microplastic, yaay!!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is too real and why I'm nursing caffiene rn at 3pm. Fortunately it's not plastic, just a geriatric little asshole with a long time sink obsession (dw he's healthy, it's behavioural, there's clean water in several rooms).

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I usually have a plastic grocery bag on the floor near my bed and the cats like to come in at like 2am and mess with it loud enough to wake me up, only to find 2-3 of them just sitting there licking it. Not even eating it, just licking .

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I always let my dog lick the takeout containers and paper plates and toss it out when they were done. This way they wouldn't make a huge mess to do it lol. They loved Chipotle bowls the most.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Never had that with any dog I've been around (or owned). And that's a lot.
