My squirrel-obsessed terrier tried so hard to catch a squirrel, but never did.

We had a walnut tree in our yard and one day he was sitting underneath it when a squirrel FELL OUT of the tree and landed beside him, stunned. He looked at it, then turned away, and you could tell he was thinking 'huh another walnut fell out of the tree'. Then he did the funniest double-take when his tiny little brain caught up and noticed that it was THE ENEMY. The same moment he realized it was a squirrel sent to him from above, the squirrel recovered from its shock and ran away.

There's so many dumb things my cats do but the girl one is definitely the stupidest. Her most common one is that she sees me come in the door, runs up the stairs and starts meowing outside my bedroom door. I stand at the bottom of the stairs where she can't see my properly and my mom will.open my bedroom door but she won't go in. Instead she just screams until I come up the stairs, then she looks at me like she's so confused that I'm not in my room and sticks her head through the doorway then back at me. Apparently she does it when I go to work too, she walks me off to the door, then when I leave she goes and screams outside my bedroom but doesn't go in when she sees I'm not there.

She's also started becoming a parrot. She's always liked hugs, but sometimes when I pick her up she scrambles to sit on my shoulder or my back and just settles down there. She's very cute but there is definitely nothing going on behind those eyes.

Our Maine Coon cat jumps into the front-loader washing machine when we're ready to do a load.

He likes being in the washer with the clothes he was sleeping on in the laundry basket.

Before starting the machine, we have to be certain he's out of there!

Our poor naive kitten was out on the enclosed porch and lost his sh*t when the sliding-glass door that connects the porch to the house was suddenly closed. In his panic, the guy ran headlong into the glass door and, of course, bounced off with a loud BONGGGG. We gave him the benefit of the doubt that he just had a momentary lapse of common sense. The thing is, he waited a few seconds, backed up, and did it again. And then again. We quickly opened the sliding door, lest the little fellow give himself brain damage by using his head as a battering ram. He’s a a bit of a special case, this one.

Nero- Eating plastic even after pooping out two long pieces of poop, made even longer connected by plastic.

Miyuki- chasing a dragonfly. Dragonfly flies over the pool, cap leaps after it. She had fallen in before, so it's not like this large body of water was news.

Savannah- stalking a turkey vulture. I'm 5'3, these birds are half my height, with a wingspan equal to my height.

Catstiel- plays fetch with hair elastics. It was caught on his nail, so he's tugging at it with his mouth. It escapes his nail and snaps up into his face, so he jumps and then starts looking around for the cat who attacked him.

One of my cats never got the hang of using the litter tray. She would put her head and body in but leave her arse hanging out then would sh*t on the floor. Other times she would just shit on the floor outside of it then go inside it and start scraping the litter to cover up the shit that she had done outside of the tray.

My pet kingsnake, whom I love dearly, has got to be the dumbest animal I've ever owned. When I feed him he'll sometimes miss his prey item and bite himself. If he sees his reflection in the glass of his cage he'll bite it and try to eat it. I have also caught him pooping on his own head twice. There's never a dull moment with this animal!

Years ago my cat was playing in a bag on the floor. He somehow got stuck, panicked and kept going forward instead of back (which would have freed him). He he tore blindly through the house into the kitchen, then leapt through a window, shattering the glass.

There were jagged long shards of glass still in the frame, and a hole that looked impossibly small for my cat to have fit through. My mom wouldnt let me go out in the yard with her to check on him; she honestly thought he'd be dead, or fatally wounded.

He had just the teeniest scratch on his nose, and was otherwise unscathed. Definitely down a life though after that day, and we no longer let the cats play in bags.

We were shaving our fuzzy dog, and he really hates it. So we would do a bit and then give him a break. Well we had done one side but there was still quite a bit left on his other side when we paused for a bit.

This dummie started running around and lose his balance falling on the side with the hair. Like a bunch of times. It was like that little bit of hair left on that side was, in his fuzzy brain, throwing his balance off. He couldn’t walk in a straight line but kept tipping over. This was not a dog that was mostly hair or anything. There wasn’t this huge weight of fur pulling on him he just convinced himself it was pulling him over.

Every business day for 4 years, our dog races to the front door at full speed when he hears the mail carrier, barking all the way.

And every day, about 3 feet from the door, he realizes he cannot stop and slams into the door, usually head first.

He must have a case of CTE to rival players in the NFL.

I've only ever seen it happen once, but I'd always hear it. I have a cat that used to always run to the litter box or his food dish. There's a mat where you have to turn to get to the laundry room where his bowls & litter box are. He'd be going so fast when he got to the mat that he'd slide on it until he hit the pantry door. I'd hear ... at random times. It was really disconcerting when it'd wake me up in the middle of the night.

My cat will be in the middle or corner of a room (props or lift her front legs up), on a ledge or the carpet. She will stand on her hind legs, tilt her head back and rotate it (nearly chin at the sky, looking upside down).

It’s hard to properly describe, but from brief research apparently it helps her hear her surroundings a bit better when she does it, even though she has great hearing. Looks ridiculous, and she “pigeon coos” when she does it sometimes.

I’ve been sitting here trying to think of something other than a fart story but I got nothing.

There are some funny smart things I’ve seen my pets do. My dog Jake used to sit at the table with us Saturday mornings while we would all have donuts coffee and read the news papers / catalogs. The donuts weren’t far from him and he started growling at the window. They all looked outside to see what he was staring at except me. As soon as they look he takes a donut and hops down and I start laughing. Another time we had the gate to the backyard open during construction, a family friend was over letting the dogs out when I got home from school. He was trying to keep the dogs in the backyard cause we were doing construction. He left the front door open so as soon as he gets all the dogs outside the sliding door Jake comes walking through the front door in the kitchen back into the house. And he’s like how the hell did you get back in here. I was laughing again. I miss that dog, he was a good boy

We had just moved in her defense, but my dog got lost when we we’re moving into our new apartment. We live on the 4th floor and our building is connected to the building next door via hallways. In the back there is 2 sets of identical stairs for side A and side B( we live on side A)

The door was open because we were moving and she ran down the stairs, to help us move I suppose, and at some point or another we lost track of her. Dropped everything we are all yelling walking around the inside and outside of the building can find her. I’m on the stairs on the phone with a friend of ours who was helping us look when I looked up and see a dog on the 4th floor on side he frantically scratching the door trying to get in.

My dog, walked downstairs when we weren’t looking and tried to sneak back in the house but got locked out because she was on the wrong side. Caused a massive panic and almost made me and me lady move back out same day we moved in.

Not necessarily dumb but she scared the hell out of us trying to be cute
