Things that go bump in the night!

Or rumble.

No I'm not suffering from a haunting, but my cat Muriel pulling the drawers open under my bed. She does this most nights, she opens one drawer and then pushes open the one on the other side and hops in and out. I wondered what on earth was happening at first, why were the divan drawers always open in the morning, then as I was going to bed one night, Muriel came in and opened the drawers.

When I put the chickens to bed at least one has to have a goodnight cuddle, they want to be picked up and told how nice they are and goodnight. They crouch down, holding their wings back and give little flaps like chicks to tell me they want a cuddle. For creatures without much of a face they're very expressive, if I'm in thier part of the garden I often look down and theres a chicken by my feet staring at me wondering what I'm doing.

Do any of your pets have funny habits?

  • My dog has had 'bedtime biscuits' when he goes in his comfy crate at bedtime since he was a puppy. He gets really excited at the command 'bedtime biscuits' and rushes to his crate to settle. He does really well through the night and I am loyal to the original brand I chose. I have a minor crisis if I run short, though I expect he'd forgive a temporary switch...

    He also is the house milk monitor. We still get glass bottles delivered and have whole milk. When a bottle is finished, it goes in the kitchen milk crate for him to give it an initial clean around the cream line and then we give it a proper scrub in hot soapy water afterwards before Farmer Gemma collects it from the doorstep.

    It sounds like you live in Trumpton.

  • It does feel a bit like one of those series sometimes, B Rofl I loved those when I was young!
