People Share The Most Creepily Intelligent Thing That Their Pet Has Done And We Are Spooked
I am sure that many of us think that our pets are, well, not the smartest. And, sure, it is because animals such as cats and dogs are very different from humans--especially domestic pets, and therefore have very different conceptions of intelligence.
Now all that goes without saying, really. But there are also times when our furry friends manage to surprise us and baffle us with their random spouts of genius.
Whether they are giving back into their wild and natural instincts, or figuring out how to exploit their life of luxury, pets sure have done some creepy things... so read on to discover the best of this Reddit thread.
One moment of genius, another of madness!
my cat, Tuffy stole a piece of bread off of the stove and put it in the floor next to the cabinet. She then stared at it intensely, and motionlessly for an hour. We thought that was creepy. Then a mouse came out from behind the cabinet to get the bread and she pounced it! She was using the bread as motherfucking bait! This is the same cat who routinely burns her tongue licking lightbulbs, hisses at them, and keeps licking.Yikes no more candles for this kitty!
Genius! But the lightbulb thing reminds me why we never have candles in the house. Our old black and white cat would be mesmerised by them, creeping closer and closer to the flame. And then burnt his whiskers. He didn't learn - so the next time we had a flame, he did it again! No more candles in our house!That's amazing
I had a cat as a kid that did something similar. He would kill voles and other small animals, and then place them in an open area like the driveway and wait in the bushes. When crows, ravens, and gulls landed to eat the little dead critter, the cat would pounce and bag himself a big tasty bird.This is so funny
I woke up one summer morning to a flooded basement. My dad was yelling at me that I had left the outdoor faucet running which caused the flood. Spent hours and lots of money cleaning it up. Come to find out my dog, after watching me use the faucet, figured out how to turn it on. We only found this out because one day my dad heard someone cranking on the faucet, and when he looked into the yard, my boxer's mouth was around the valve, twisting her head like a confused puppy until it turned on. She never did figure out how to turn it off though.Animals finding excuses to go to places where they are not allowed is so funny

"My friend’s dog knows he’s not allowed onto one very specific carpeted area in the house and he knows never to step onto that area. How does he like to be a smartass about it? He grabs his favorite toy, casually tosses it onto said carpeted area, looks at us, and gives us the “well my toy’s there and I have to step onto the carpet to get it”. He does it so slowly and so deliberately that you know he’s being a complete smartass about it. I can’t help but laugh every time he does it which is not often. He typically does it when he’s desperate for our play because he knows he’ll get a laugh and a positive reaction out of it.""Who? Me?"
"We had a dog growing up that wasn't allowed at the dinner table to beg for food, so at dinner time he would get as close to the dinner table as possible and turn his back to it, and look over his shoulder as we all ate."This is adorable
"My dad has always had problems with throwing his back out and it usually makes him unable to move for several weeks. Anyways, one time when he threw out his back, my dog grabbed a blanket in her mouth and slowly spread it over my dad while he was sleeping. We were all amazed and gave her a treat""Please remove the intruder"

"Woke me up and brought me outside to under the deck, where he very obviously showed me the cat that got out and was hiding under there. He looked at the cat, then back at me, then at the cat, then back at me."
