Pets do just the cutest things – 10 Funniest Pet Traits

In this article we have squeezed our ten funniest pet traits from around the globe proving that a happy pet is someone who gets to rule the roost around the household and acts just like you.
Be prepared to laugh out loud.

1. Eating their greens
It’s most common that parents struggle to get their children to eat their greens. The site of a piece of cauliflower or carrot on their plate sends them into a tantrum, and by the end of the meal, greens are left in a heap on the plate. Well not if you have a cat like this one. This cat can’t get enough of his five a day.

2. Helping out around the home
It’s always a shock when one of your children offers to help with the housework or make you a cup of tea. You wonder what happened to your child or more than likely, what do they want. So when your dog decides to help with the washing up, you can only be proud that he is doing his duties around the house as you say to your children, take a leaf out of his book.

3. Copying your every move
It’s a pain as your children grow up and they start to learn how to wind you up. Most parents will be ever so aware of the times when their children have imitated their voice or actions when they are being told off. Annoying isn’t it? However, Paco the cockatoo gets away with these tricks, copying his mum as she makes some rather strange noises!

4. Bath time…oh the joy!
Most children hate when mum says its bath time and they have to come in early from playing out with their friends. They don’t notice their dirty paws, dusty hair and grubby nails….and I am referring to the children here. And our pets are no better. Nana the dog is panicking at the thought of having a bath. She keeps hiding every time her owner calls her for bath time.

5. Talented pets
It’s always a proud moment when your child has learnt a new skill or talent such as taking on a sport or learning to sing. When your cat decides to take up piano as a hobby in his spare time, you can only admire the dedication and effort he has put into learning with only two paws. Sugar the cat is on the way to become the next Beethoven.

6. Gossiping till your hearts content
Everyone loves a good gossip. What fun it is to get the girlies round the house for a good old chin wag about what Mrs. Johnson has been up to with the milkman, or how outrageous it is that Jean Taylor’s daughter wears the shortest skirt in town. Whatever it is, it’s always a bit of fun! And pets don’t want to miss out too. Stina and Mossy are clearly having a lovely good gossip about how Stina had been on a date with Tomcat from down the road and how their new cat food is atrocious and they are going to go on a hunger strike.

7. Energetic animals
We always wonder where kids get their energy. They run round all day and don’t break out into a sweat. We walk to the shop and then call the other half to come and bring us back. Signs of ageing are rather depressing aren’t they? But not for this hamster. He is determined to keep his flexibility well into his older years.

8. Toilet Trained
Toilet training a child is pretty difficult. To get them to understand what a potty is, is one thing, to get them to use the toilet, and properly, is an entirely different ball game all together. This cat seems to have picked it up pretty quickly. Despite trying to clog the toilet up with toilet roll after is beside the point, but it is pretty impressive move and saves the smell of the cat litter tray.

9. Understanding their identity
Those teenage years are so difficult in a person’s life. We start to rebel against are parents, we find a new dark music that we know are parents will hate and suddenly discover make up and a rather bizarre drink known as alcohol. We completely start to evolve to find out who we are. This cockatoo is going through that very difficult stage at the moment as he thinks he is a chicken!

10. Naughty but so cute
Pets can be cheeky and very naughty at times, and when they do, we really can’t help but laugh. When they are really young and very playful, their little mischievous side comes out and their little traits are endearing. Take a look at this little kitten trying to wind up the little puppy who is sitting ever so quietly on her owners lap. So cute!
