I used to think that my dogs and cats were really spies for my parents, and might be perverted, so I would never undress in front of them; I would kick them out of my room.

One of my favorite movies growing up was "The Cat From Outer-Space." I had an orange cat just like in the movie and used to believe that my cat was from outer-space too and could talk, but she just lost her special, alien collar in order to do so.

My sister was convinced that when she grew up she was going to have puppies instead of babies

When I was little, I used to believe that my pets were actually robots who were spies for my mom. Whenever I did stupid stuff, I would bribe them so they wouldn't tell on me.

I used to belive cats and dogs had their own language like english but they wouldn't talk around any humans.
So I used to crawl around the backyard trying to get my two cats to trust me to keep there talking ability a secret, so i they could talk to me.
I think I watched to much talking cat and dog movies.

***I used to belive that if you barked while you where saying something to a dog, they could understand you. i never really tried it because i felt dumb.

And i also believed that if you just barked that you where saying something to them so by there reaction you could tell if what you said was good or bad.

When we were 9 years old I told my friends who were afraid of dogs that steam comes out of your ears when you're afraid and that dogs will chase you if they see the steam. When we were 25 one of those friends was covering her ears, I asked why, and she pointed to a dog. I laughed at her for days.

I used to believe that If you dont talk to your dog it doesnt learn how to bark until my mum asked why I was talking to the dog :s

I once told my younger sister when I was about seven that if you smile at a dog, it thinks you're frowning at it and if you frown at it, it thinks you're smiling at it. She went around frowning at our dog for years.

I used to think the phrase "Cats have nine lives", meant the reincarnate nine times. So some things involving the phrase confused me.

When I was a little girl I used to believe that a mamma dog got her babies by going out into the woods,sniffing the trees to find the right one, then digging a hole to find her babies!

Smockey (my nickname given me by my Polish uncle)

Once I was told that cats see humans as just more cats. I still have no idea what that meant, but it tricked my mind into thinking that from a cat's-eye view, humans were all giant cats wearing clothes and walking upright. Then I started believing for some reason that if humans WERE cats, all the men and boys would have brown fur and green eyes, and all the women and girls would have white fur and blue eyes. Dunno where THAT came from.

I used to believe when a dog humped you it was trying to dance with you.

I was at my best friends house and her male dog sat in front of us and his wiener came out and I freeked out and was like, what was that??!! So we started poking at it with sticks. We thought her dogs winky waw a giant worm monster living in his stomach.

I used to believe that when each family was out of the house, my dog Nikki, and my godmother's dog and cat Sasha and Bandit would get together and have parties where they would do nothing but dance all night long. I always thought Bandit would win the prize for the best moves.

I used to believe dogs ate cats

I had watched an episode of some show, I think it was The Wonder Years, where they had to get a dog "fixed". Of course, being a family program they didn't say what "fixed" meant, and I didn't know what it was, except that on the show the dog kept barking all night before they got him "fixed" and then afterward he didn't. So, at my tender age, I thought that getting your dog "fixed" meant that the vet would make it so the dog couldn't bark any more by taking out its vocal chords or something. I believed this for a couple years, too.

The children in my husbands family were fascinated by dogs since they had none while growing up, so his parents told them that if they watched a dog while he was "doing his business" they would get pink eye! To this day, my husband still gets nervous if he sees our dogs going to the bathroom.

when i was a little girl, i thought that cats were females and dogs were males. i was always confused when watching Tom and Jerry!

When I was 3 or 4 my dad told me that if I touched a cat and I din`t wash my hands right away my thongue would become blue and I won`t be able to speak. I realized that this wasn`t true when I was about 12. Guess what, now I have a cat and when I touch it nothing happens!
