A lot of us here have pets in our families.

But their behaviors can be maddening to try and decipher, even with guys like Cesar Milan and Jackson Galaxy guiding owners through the motions on dogs and cats respectively. Smaller or exotic pets probably are just as quirky.

Take my cat, Gemini. If someone one wakes up during the night, she automatically tries to wake everyone up, galloping and yowling her head off. In fact, she thinks she's singing "Ave Maria", but it's more like "The Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin and she's mimicking Robert Plant.

She is also defensive of my father who, when she can, makes him the little spoon while he sleeps and would stick to him like Krazy Glue during her bonding time before my father heads to work.

My cat loves to run everywhere and yowl before trying to run up the screen, get stuck for a second, and run off again yowling. Not sure if that counts.

That counts.

My cat is very talkative. A lot of meowpurring whenever she's not asleep.

My dog doesn't use his legs when he climbs off the sofa... he just kinda slides until his legs drop and then he walks away.

He also doesn't cock his leg to pee, he will just stand there and when he realises he's peeing he seems shocked and starts barking like "Oy! Who put that pee under me?!"

We got one of those, too. It's like Donkey from Shrek in cat form.

I have two minilop bunnies. I'm studying to be a musician, so I often practice at home on my digital piano while preparing for class. My bunny girl hates it and every time she tries to bite the piano wire and she succeeded once! I also like to draw and one day I took my rabbit boy on my bed to play. And he peed on my sketchbook, although he usually goes to the litter box. My bunnies definitely have the "Can't stand art" trait

My cat meows very loudly when she needs to poop, it's like she's letting me know that I have to clean up after her.

My cat likes to wait with me whenever I'm waiting for a package.

Not really weird, but my plant light now doubles as cat-warming light. She's under there all day, sunbathing.



Mine always does that after pooping.

I have a 'cut out' between my living room and kitchen. There is a shelf with plants on it and a plant light over them. When I turn the light on in the morning, my guinea pigs start wheeking ( happy guinea pig noises)for their morning treat.

Happy guinea pigs wheeking and squeaking!

P.S. Video is not mine. I posted it as a example of wheeking as it's a weird word.

My dog Emma likes to lick EVERYTHING. The family dogs we had when I was a child never did it as extensive as her but I've heard similar stories from other owners of Border Collies or Australian Shepherds (Emma is a Border Collie Jack Russel mix). She also hardly ever barks but does this super cute woo woo woo sound, often with toys in her mouth which gives off a muffled sound.

one of my cats (scratchy) will trill every time you pick her up. she also licks everything, including socks for some reason.

My cat always chases people when shes hungry. Althought it might sound annoying, its not since shes small and fluffy so it makes it adorable lol
