leroydb 0 #1 December 16, 2004 Just found out my SG (I call him P.C.) dosen't like infrared light. I was testing my night vision out on my sony camera and heard a hiss. It came from my SG while I was approx 15 away. I went up to the cage and he would follow the infrared light around the cage where ever I shined it. (I did this to ensure he was in disagreance with it and not that I scared him.) What things have you done that have scared your pet, not you, your pet?Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

Unstable 9 #2 December 16, 2004 By Buddy had a Cockatoo. A great big, White, mean Cockatoo. (Spelling!?!?) Vicious bird, would tear a finger off anybody except the owner without a regret. Noisy thing - would scream it's head off until it got attention. I once showed it a mirror when my buddy had stepped out. The stupid bird squked and took off right for the sliding glass door. Knocked it out cold, but it didn't kill it... Thank goodness, those stupid things are $xpensive to replace...... I'm not a "bird" guy....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bch7773 0 #5 December 16, 2004 when my dog was just a little puppy, my mom tied this small rattle thing to her coller as a joke or something. the poor dog heard it, tried running away from the apparently scary noise, and just kept running around the house scared for her life. she also crapped herself, i kid you not. i didn't know dogs could do that until then MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slug 1 #6 December 16, 2004 Dog kept digging under the fence and escaping, finally put up a electric wire to keep him away from the wooden fence. Dog pissed on electric fence and got a shocking experience Next time dog took a big piss in the middle of the living room in front of every one (big dog) can't say I blame him R.I.P.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SpeedRacer 1 #13 December 16, 2004 My cat was afraid of umbrellas. I had one of those automatic umbrellas that pop open when you push the button. He never did get used to it. If I just picked up the umbrella unopened he would run out of the room. I wonder if this is true of many animals. In nature animals will try to frighten off enemies by suddenly puffing themselves up in some way. Cats get all bristly & arch & puff up their tails when threatened, bearded lizards spread their hoods up, etc. So maybe that is why cats freak out when an umbrella suddenly opens up. They say if you are threatened by a cougar you should stand up, spread your coat & make yourself look big.
