Some pets are really spoiled and can get away with almost anything. According to a quiz published on Wales Online, 10% of people actually let the dogs lick the pots clean after cooking. It was also found that two fifths of people let their fur baby sleep in their bed, one in five also bathe their pet in the family bathroom and 4% let their pet drink water from the toilet.
Naughty pets going rogue
Having a spoiled pet is one thing, but when they get up to mischief it’s another story all together. Smile Breakfast wanted to find out about some of the naughtiest things that Cape Town’s pets have done.
Pablo Escobar’s hippos are too frisky
Lindy picked up on a story about Pablo Escobar’s exotic pets. The infamous drug lord’s legacy seems to include a hippo problem in South America.
Cape Town’s most delinquent pets
We got so many stories about misbehaving animals in your house that we decided to put together a list of Cape Town’s worst behaved pets:
5. Milo the doggie with a big appetite
Don’t let that cute face fool you. Milo has chewed through 3 mud flaps, a bakkie’s ABS cable, and a family Bible.
4. Chewy the psychopathic drake
A duck that quacks to get picked up and then immediately bites you because he doesn’t like to be held.
3. Brollox the dog that loves legs too much
This little Jack Russell Terrier may look innocent, but in the words of his owner – “he greets every stranger by humping their leg. The worst was when the dominee came for a visit.”
2. Whiskey the perverted stallion
One caller told us that her son had a pet stallion named Whiskey. They always had to warn women to cover their chests around him because apparently he had a habit of taking a small nibble.
1. The cat who made a death in the family even worse
This might be the most delinquent pet in Cape Town. Amy phoned us to tell us about how her cat Misty made grieving a whole lot more messy.
“My ouma had passed away and we came home to see misty had climbed onto the mantle and knocked over the urn that had my ouma’s ashes in. He was rolling around in my dead ouma.”
The family has apparently renamed the cat to “Ash-hole”.
