I’ll start. My girlfriend’s cat never purrs or does the “baking biscuits” thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.
I made the mistake of letting my cat drink from a slow stream of running water in my bathroom sink ONE TIME and ever since then the little wench will not allow me to take a shit in peace, within seconds of me closing the bathroom door she starts scratching demanding me to turn the faucet on for her.
I’d buy her a fountain if I didn’t know that she would still prefer the sink, in classic asshole cat form.
I have a rabbit named Saffron that honks when she’s excited 🐇📯
As far as I was concerned, cats puff up their tails in moments of stress/conflict to make themselves look bigger. My cats tail puffs up when I give him the good pets

When my little terrier/chihuahua mix was a puppy she would give me a “hug” first thing In the morning. I’d sit up in bed and say “time to go to work” and she would put her front paws around my neck and press her face against mine. She eventually would do it on command. Then she had surgery to correct a luxating patella (knee cap pops out of place) and never did it again.
She also used to drag herself across the carpet with her front legs, back legs dragging behind her. We would call it “swimming”.
Being part terrier she is very smart but also stubborn. When our senior dog passed, I taught her lots of tricks. One trick was to ring a bell when she wanted to go outside. I rigged up a donut shapped toy she could paw that was attached to a spring with a bell on it. She refused to ring it. I know she knew what to do, she just refused. When she wanted a treat she would paw the cabinet just like I taught her to paw the bell/toy. Eventually I gave up. Fast forward to a year later. We get another puppy and as soon as I try to teach new dog how to ring the bell she runs over and slams it. From that point on she slams the bell ten times a day.
Our family dog learned to pee from a boy dog. She would squat and raise one leg.
my cat poops before she eats. most cats poop after they eat.
Our little dog used to let out these long, shuddering sighs when she was frustrated. I used to repeat it back to her, and picked up the habit. Even though we had to put her down a year and a half ago, I still occasionally let out her sigh.
My cat has learned to say “Hello?” when he’s looking for me. It’s like “mherrrro?” It’s kind of amazing.
There are so many… we’ve had 8 cats together, 4 currently. One of the younger brothers has his mouth open anytime he’s awake. He just walks around like that and he looks stupid, and he is stupid. Dumbest cat I’ve ever had.
We had him x-rayed when we got his nuts cut this year. Every vet says they can’t see anything physiological that would cause this. When he eats he uses his open lower jaw as a shovel then crunches. He sleeps with his mouth closed.
Edit to add- I watched him hunt and eat a camel cricket a couple days ago. He has no problem killing with his jaw, I swear he’s just stupid. The vet I last saw jokingly called him a bit below average.
My dog likes to steal things when we’re out of the house and leave them on the stairs or on our bed.
She’s not a breed that’s known for having a particularly soft mouth, their claim to fame is probably the opposite if anything (malinois) so it’s kind of impressive when I find an avocado or a martini glass somewhere unexpected without even the slightest bruise.
We joke that they’re her “emotional support objects.”
My cat is obsessed with my socks. If a load of clean laundry has been left too long before it gets folded and put away, my socks will be scattered throughout the house.

When I speak to him directly he’ll often make really dumb faces
My snake likes to wrap around and ‘strangle’ watches. Not bracelets, just watches.
Do you think the ticking feels like a heartbeat to it?
I’d say yes… except he does it to smart and digital watches too.
My rabbit acts disinterested by the treats I show her, but immediately goes for it as soon as I turn around.
And it’s not like she’s scared of me. Only when I try to give her something.
