As a pet owner the only thing I have ever had to replace is our Christmas tree. The cat thought it would be great to climb...there was no salvaging it. 😂
Thankfully neither of my cats bother our tree. I was worried my male cat would since him knocking crap over is a daily thing but he doesn't even pay any attention to it at all, not even the ornaments which are shatterproof just in cast.
I had 2 young cats that had our tree and ornaments scattered across the living room the morning after we put it up. I had to sleep on the sofa, with a spray bottle for 3 days, before they got the hint that the tree was off-limits! 🙂
My cat once escaped from a box when I was bringing him into the vet's office three miles from home. Somehow, he managed to find his way home five days later.
I've had both cats and dogs, and the only things I can recall them doing that was even inconvenient was that the dog grabbed a cooling roast beef off the high kitchen counter (must have been some jump!) and we wound up chasing him round and round the free-standing chimney/fireplace trying to catch him to get the roast out of his mouth...and the cat would always follow my mother to her desk when she was going to do the business books, and sat on her arms and hands so she couldn't work. So, nothing broken, but lots of laughs and one well-traveled roast beef.
Makes me glad my dog doesn't do that crap; he knows well that if it's on the counter or a table he does NOT touch it, or it is his ass. Same with my cat, like it's one thing for them to be on my art desk but the living room tables, and the kitchen counters are a no-go zone for them because I don't want them getting ahold of something they shouldn't have. Like had you had a cat, and that roast had onion, garlic, chives, leeks or shallots and your cat got ahold of it, then you'd be rushing to the vet for at best anemia and at worst total organ failure. Things like that are always funny at first but they're also horrifying after the fact. Hell, those same ingredients are toxic to dogs too, often causing the same issues. Though with dogs the amount needed for serious harm varies depending on the size of the dog.
At new years eve a few years back, my dad had temporarily placed a tray with steaks on a chair at the dining table to make space on the table. Placing steaks at head height for your pets is a very bad idea, especially when you got an old labrador. Can't blame the dog, though, temptation was too great. He ate like 5 steaks, he dined like a king that day lmao
My cat is disabled and occasionally has accidents when he can't reach the litterbox in time. The only thing he has really destroyed was a pillow. How many extra loads of laundry he has caused me to do, is another story entirely. 😅 But he's a very sweet cat and I was aware of his condition when I adopted him.
My dog died last year at 14 years old. He never once broke anything he didn’t even take food if it was in his reach except for one hilarious time. I had made cakes for a baby shower that had a Winnie the Pooh theme. I made two cakes. One was a bee hive and the other a honey pot. I picked up the bee hive cake and he had licked all of the frosting off the back of the cake 😂 I refrosted the cake and put a little sign next to it so people wouldn’t eat it. I couldn’t just have a honey pot and no bee hive 🐝 Best dog ever 😊❤
I have always been very lucky when it comes to my pets and belongings. I almost never have had to replace anything from my pets breaking or ruining them, except for a gerbil I had who chewed up everything in her cage that wasn't metal, but she was the only pet that destroyed anything. When my Sunny cat spent a month at my mom's house, he had a favorite spot he liked to sit and one time she put her cases of soda in his spot and he knocked them on to the floor
You know how you "baby-safe" a house? Putting dangerous things up high, locking cabinets, etc? Well, pet-safing your house is similar. Fragile items? Either go into storage or very high up. Not-quite-fragile can stay on hip-height furniture. Snacks and left-overs go into the microwave until it's time to freeze or fridge them, as being loose on the counter is sure to be eaten. (Said having had a Great Dane - who would totally slurp/lick coffee off a desk - several cats, but just one now, and a 100lb lap dog who can easily snag things off the counter). Also depends on the pet. We have an antique, handed down in the family-type piece of furniture. It's a buffet thing with a mirror on the back. Our last cat (RIP) kept getting up on top of the mirror, and we were scared he'd break it, or hurt himself, so we covered the top with tin foil. Cats don't like the feel of it on their paws. Kept him off the piece! Our current cat hasn't gone onto that furniture at all, so we took the foil off. But the current girl cat gets stuck under the sofa sometimes, so that's a thing. 🙄
Probably because you've actually disciplined and trained your pets, or you didn't get dog breeds that you didn't have the mental capacity to keep up with. A lot of these videos you can tell if it's like a one-off lapse in judgement for the animal, or if it's a reoccurring problem. Usually if it's a reoccurring problem it's either because the owners are too lazy or ignorant to train and discipline the animal, they got a breed that has special requirements that they aren't meeting causing the animal to act out, or they simply have an animal with a stubborn streak and they're too lazy to work around it. I highly doubt this is the first time the poodle was wrecked Christmas gifts, yet they didn't even put up a baby gate or even just wait for Christmas to put out the gifts.
My dog, Chester, when he was a puppy tore up all of my sofa cushions. After that day, he was put in his kennel when we left. Then one afternoon, later the same summer, he pulled the dryer vent off the side of the house. He was quite destructive for the first few years of his life. Once he started to settle down, he discovered snakes - mainly copperheads and rattlesnakes. Chester has lived an eventful, and costly, life.
Once my dogs were out of their puppy stage, neither has destroyed anything. They are very well behaved. I can even leave a burger out and leave the room without them touching it. When they were puppies, the only thing they destroyed was a dog bed and the bathroom door and some dog toys.
I’d say my Aussiedoodle breaks or destroys something at least every few months. The value of the items varies. Could be chewing up a tube of chapstick (happened recently) or destroying a new pair sneakers that were $100+ (happened last year). It’s the cost of having a dog or cat though. You live with it and try to adjust to their nature. Even with training they’ll occasionally destroy something.
I've had a cat my whole adult life (2 different ones). Neither of them have ever broken anything. They were both adopted as adults, so they both needed to learn not to jump up on tables to snatch food or drink out of water glasses (apparently their previous owners never disciplined that...), but that's about the only problem I had with them both in the beginning. Well, that and them eating certain plants but I can tell which ones are cat-risky just by looking at the types of leaves they have at this point xP. Small/thin and crispy leaves = delicious cat snack as a general rule (so far).
So I own a small farm in Texas. I have an 80 pound Doberman named Titan and he absolutely NEVER tears anything up. He’s kept so busy chasing the ducks and geese while swimming in the the pond or harassing the goats that he doesn’t have the time or energy to be naughty!
Years ago my Doberman ate my house....really. She was only a year and rather than crate train her, which would have saved my house and made her feel secure, I decided she was old enough to stay out of the crate but locked in the kitchen. Never been so wrong about anything in my life. She ate the door and ran right through it, pulled the cabinet doors off, went through the pantry, item by item and finished it off by pulling the molding from around the doors. I thought the Vet was nuts when he suggested crate training. I thought he was being cruel. Over $20,000 to Fix that, but we loved her, soooo, we remodeled. 30 years of cats and nothing broken. You be the judge.
My cats are no longer kittens, so they break something maybe once a year, and that's one incident between the two of them. I've also had dogs before. Lots of dogs. They destroy WAY more things than cats just because cats grow out of chewing things (for the most part - does still happen once in a while) when their adult teeth come in. Dogs chew on things forever. Finding something chewed up was at least a once-a-month event when I had dogs.
My female cat is calm and doesn't destroy anything. My male on the other hand while he doesn't necessarily destroy things he knocks crap over on a daily occurrence multiple times a day! We also had to get a trash can with a lid that you step on to open it because my male cat kept getting into our trash and dragging it all over our kitchen.
I have two cats. Something gets f**ked about once a month. They're worth it. My one cat knocked off 6 of my handmade christmas ornaments 3 days ago. I only had to put a sealant on them to be done.😢 He also likes to pull over full glasses of water. All over my bed, on my roommates computer, he doesn't care. If he doesn't get his way he turns feral, screaming, biting and scratching. We love him anyway and wouldn't trade him for anything. I had a dog, years ago, she got out of the fenced yard and found a deer carcass to roll around in.🤢🤮 The kids and I would take turns holding our breath, to run in the bathroom and scrub her.😂 Pets are the best! A family member that you get to choose.🥰
The cat has jumped onto things and broke glass. The dogs have gotten multiple reading glases and remote controls. The dogs take a lot of blankets and clothing outside into the back yard and about half the time it is ruined. The worst thing to happen so far, is when the dogs were playing and ran in my direction...One of them tackled the other in mid air right at the level of my knee. It wasn't broken and it still works after physical therapy, but obviously looks off
That is a thing, bears go after the grease trap on barbeques. If you live in an area that has a decent bear population they recommend washing them out regularly. Instead of once a year like the rest of us. 😆
I will say that my 2 year old cat that I adopted 3 months ago seems to go insane a couple of times a day kind of like that cat that ran across the counter. My 2 dogs and I just kind of take cover and wait for him to be done with his mad streaking.
Well when Edgar the cat was a young kitty he had his moments curtains blinds a coffee cup here or there his big offense is knocking over full cups. About once every three to four months. But he got over that. He learned blinds aren’t for climbing and the human servants get testy when he climbs the curtains and stopped. But every now and then…..He’s sixteen now and an old cat. And now he sleeps a lot
As a pet owner watching these videos is funny sometimes, but also at times it just makes me wonder why some people have pets they don't train. Like the dog taking stuff from under the Christmas tree, my dog knows damn well that is NEVER acceptable. Just like climbing on the counters or the table, that kinda stuff is dangerous because if they get ahold of the wrong thing it's game over. A lot of these videos show either something just happens sometimes, or it shows something that is likely a reoccurring problem because the owner either got a breed they can't handle, or they simply don't discipline the animal and just let it do whatever.
I swear to it. When I leave my desk and laptop unattended, my chickens are pecking the keyboard. They kick my vape and mouse off to clear the way. They DO watch videos and music....they have not yet figured out how to log onto Amazon, luckily. they have managed to change speed and volume before FLEEING to the dresser to act as though they've been there all day.
My family has had dogs my whole life and things haven’t been knocked over in my memory… and right now they have a 4 year old pup that’s close to 100 pounds! /Tripping over/ pets on the other hand, is a daily occurance
I’ve had my fair share of pets and none of them ever broke things. However, while cat sitting a friend’s cat, he broke the ugly but useful main lamp in my living room!
The pets I have now are too old and lazy to be destructive - I've had my dog over 14 years and both my cats for close to 10. But I used to have a cat who was prone to knocking things off the counter during attempted food heists, and I suffered several instances of broken crockery at his hands - er, paws.
I have 2 cats. They are brothers and are not quite 2 yet. They destroy, pee or poop, knock over something at least once a day! Mostly at night while im sleeping. They wrestle just like human brothers. And cats are so different than dogs. Dogs at least feel guilty when you scold them. Cats just look at you and walk away because they don't give a shit!¡!
I've never had my dog do anything while I have been away. Not a single thing chewed nor knocked over. On dog 4 of my adult life.I do not yell at them, beat them, nor anything like that either. I don't even have to use a leash in my yard nor a fence to keep them here, they just know their boundaries. You could never do that with a cat. Cat's are aholes.
My cats rarely ever break anything. maybe once a year. More like every two or three years. Seriously, don't count on online videos to tell you how often catastrophe strikes for dogs or cats. What you are seeing is a cherry picked sampling of videos from a small group of animals across the world. People don't generally upload videos of cats and dogs laying around and doing their usual thing: nothing much special. Eating and sleeping and the occasional zoomies is what you get on average. Most of them are not destruction machines.
As a pet owner the only thing I have ever had to replace is our Christmas tree. The cat thought it would be great to climb...there was no salvaging it. 😂

My cats will occasionally knock things over, maybe once or twice a year. The dog's tail is what gets most stuff. Luckily, breakage is rare.
I’ve have had a dog and a cat for 10 years and neither one of them have broken anything
I had two dogs for 20 years and then a cat for a while and none of them ever broke much. I definitely broke more than all 3 put together! 😂
oh I so needed this. thank you
I've had both cats and dogs, and the only things I can recall them doing that was even inconvenient was that the dog grabbed a cooling roast beef off the high kitchen counter (must have been some jump!) and we wound up chasing him round and round the free-standing chimney/fireplace trying to catch him to get the roast out of his mouth...and the cat would always follow my mother to her desk when she was going to do the business books, and sat on her arms and hands so she couldn't work.

Good morning from Texas, Kabir! 😊
Ahh Kabir, you're a bright spot in my day! My best friend has two cats and they are absolutely nuts! I call them crack and pot!
The dog that fell off the ottoman like looked like he was pushed😂
My pets rarely cause damage now that they are not puppies/kittens. Local wildlife and neighbours cats on the other hand… 😂

My dogs only break or tear stuff up occasionally. Usually when they're mad at me or overexcited
Hmm. Can't find any leopard hound that looks like that. Seems she painted her dog.
My thoughts exactly😂

Kamir, when I have had pets I make my home so pet friendly…so they can’t destroy things
My dog used to destroy my things every day when she was a pup.😅 She's more chill now
Honestly I have three cats and I could count on one hand things they have broken and nothing was hard to replace
My female cat is calm and doesn't destroy anything. My male on the other hand while he doesn't necessarily destroy things he knocks crap over on a daily occurrence multiple times a day! We also had to get a trash can with a lid that you step on to open it because my male cat kept getting into our trash and dragging it all over our kitchen.
My dogs are well trained and once they were past their teething phase they never destroyed anything again.

I have 11 cats. I don't put anything decorative on surfaces that aren't incased in a cabinet.
My dog and cat never directly broke anything. But they did get in the way and made me fall (because I'm so clumsy anyway) and I am who broke it LOL
I live with 20 cats my cats on a daily basis break things or knock over stuff.
I’ve had my fair share of pets and none of them ever broke things. However, while cat sitting a friend’s cat, he broke the ugly but useful main lamp in my living room!
We had our dog 16 years, he didn’t break anything.
We're on our 3rd couch in 8 years due to my Great Dane 😂🤷♀️
Catahoula leopard dog and that one with the leopard spots is fake as hell.

Cat owner. You use plastic stuff whenever possible.
My cats aren't allowed on the counters or furniture other than the sofa. I've never had to replace anything.
