When I was little, a stray cat came to our house. I 'named' him 'Slimey' because that was the name of Oscar the Grouch's worm on Sesame Street, and I thought that was what you named all pets.

One day when i was 5 or 6 i was hangin out at my grandpa's house, being so young and not really knowing about baldness i ask him "what happened to your hair?"...He told me that the dog ate it, "THE DOG?" i said "HE ATE IT???". "yup" grampa said.. needless to say i never looked at that dog. Even today. all i can picture is Duke chewin on grandpa's hair!

I used to believe that cats were girls and dogs were boys

I knew I could talk with the cats and dogs and that they would talk with me. One day I had walked home from school and was waiting on the porch with a puppy dog for my Mom to get home to let me in when my sister got home, she said " where did this dog come from?" And I replied that Duke followed me home, and my sister said how do you know his name -- and I said he told me!

I used to think that when a cat purred it was their insides getting to work with pumping blood round and digesting food like when its whirring a fan round to make clogs work and that... dont ask:S

I used to believe I could milk dogs like the cows. This was because I saw a nurse milk his cow.

My mom used to tell me that all cats had a devils hair at the end of their tails, thats why we couldnt have one. Now im all grown up and she has a cat of her own that she spoils rotten.

Once, I found my dog eating the cat food out of our cats' bowl and I was so upset because that mean my dog will turn into a cat.

when i was little i used to think my dog was like a cow and produced milk when she had puppies and so i got a bucket and milked her and put the milk in a cup and drank it and spit it out i remember thinking this is the worst milk i ever ever had!!!!

Up until.... oh, about my sophomore year in college I used to believe that Dachshund was pronounced "Dash hound" and that "Doxon" was just another name for Dash hounds.

When I was little I some how got the idea that cats only pooed and did not do any weeing. When I told my mum that cats could not urinate, she though it was funny and told me that it was totally wrong that cats do not wee and if a cat could not do a wee, they will eventually burst into a big gross explosion of urine, blood and guts.

I used to think if I left the toilet seat open my cat would get flushed down the toilet.

I was told that I use to talk to animals and have full on conversations with them. Mum was always gobsmacked when she walked out the front of the house and saw 4 neighborhood dogs sitting in front of me "talking" to me.
I stopped "talking to animals" at nine so I still remember conversations we had... Mostly the dogs use to talk about where the best food is and where to lie best in the sun... I'm not crazy I swear!

When I was little my cousins and I believed my grandmother when she said not to watch the dog poop because you could get pink eye!
