THE MOST INTELLIGENT THING YOUR PET HAS DONE
Reddit asked, “What’s the most intelligent thing your pet has ever done?” Some examples:
– “My dog ran into the room and started barking at me. Ran to the kitchen then back to me. Barking the whole time. I went to the kitchen to find my cat choking on his food. A few sharp pats on the back and I was able to get him to cough it up.”
– We were teaching the dogs some tricks over a few days, and the cockatoo was watching. One night we were watching TV and hear the cockatoo call the dog by name. “Sit. Stay. Lay down. Roll over. Good Boy.” We heard something hit the floor, and then he called out the next dog’s name. Walked into the kitchen to find the cockatoo in the spot we always stand, giving orders to the dogs (who were obeying!), and then pulling treats out of the cup and dropping them on the floor. This went on for some time.”
– “My Great Dane saw a spider on the floor in the living room, walked calmly over to it and stomped one foot directly on it, looked at it in satisfaction and walked away.”
– “I have two cats. I said to one cat, ‘Where is your sister?’, she perked up, and trotted up the steps, down the hall, into my closet and walked behind the hanging clothes, and that’s where the other one was sleeping.”
– “My African grey parrot uses his peanut shells as cups for his water, dips the shells into the water dish and drinks out of them.”
– “I used to have rats. But one evening, we let them run around the living room. They discovered a pile of envelopes under the coffee table, and spent a good half an hour working together to get as many in their cage as possible, turning the envelopes into bedding and makeshift pouches, which they then filled with food from their food bowl.”
– “My brother’s bird learned to imitate the door bell causing the dog to go crazy and bark. Then he tells the dog to shutup.”
– “If I don’t tell my horse when I’m going away and how long I’m going for, he won’t talk to me when I get back.”
