My two velvet backed rosellas have just developed a very annoying habit. They get told off for shredding the wallpaper. Fair enough I would say. No, they come straight over to the computer where I am working and whap me around the ear with their wings on their way to circle the room!
They do not do this to my partner, just me, the little horrors, and they STILL expect to be given millet sprays treats.
how does your pet sulk and take it out on you when they are told off?

Maybe your rosellas are tryint to say you don't notice us now you have mylot? lol
My cat will claw my leather sofa and cry in the middle of the night for the sake of it.
My dog goes toilet just inside the front gates just to let you know if she hasn't been for a walk, so she goes every day, bless.

The little horrors were up to their tricks long before I discovered mylot lol. If anything they are very happy that I am distracted for a time so that they can destroy the flat in peace. It is only the distinctive sound of gnawing away at my woodwork which penetrates and sound my alarm bells.
Cats do love to claw but cry in the middle of the night? Wow! That really is using underhand tactics. As for doggie she is really making her views plain lol.
I think the crying cat takes the biscuit lol. If we turn the light off at least the birdies do stay quiet all night :-)

My cat is crazy, if you don't give him biscuits or attention he will ripe paper up that maybe accesible for him.
it could be knitting patterns, something you have printed from the computer sometimes he will even sit on my laptop so that i cannot type.
If you tell him to go out for an hour, right on the dot he is back. Do you think cats know what you are saying??.

Wow! Cat with attitude! Maybe he could have a race against my birds, naturally he would have to be in one room and they would have to be in another, and we could see which one could strip the wallpaper faster!
Yes, I do believe cats understand every single word, and choose very carefully which words they will appear to understand and which they will totally ignore lol.

Oh, there is more than one kind of wonderful lol. Vandal and Viking stay in their cage for most of the time as we really can not trust them not to eat every piece of wood, wallpaper and artex they can get a beak to. They are out for between six and twelve hours a day and they have the laundry basket in the bathroom which they are allowed to destroy and they are allowed on top of their cage, and there is one surface in the kitchen which is their territory which they like to stand on to eat their cress. They absolutely adore cress!
They can fly around the whole flat whilst they are out of their cage, as we don't really like them being caged, and they usually tire themselves well and truly lololol.
Whapping me around the ear is a new trick which I tell them off for, but it doesn't do much good as my partner is helpless with laughter, and guess which one they take notice of lol.

hehehehehe not quite gone yet and I did read what you wrote. Well I have a lovely little Dog, that can be very mischivious and if I ignore him he will keep bouncing of my leg, until I take notice and when I say what he just stands there, looks all mischief in Eyes and then starts growling at me. And if he is upset with me, then whenever I go up to him, he will walk away.

Well, we don't have the problem of the birds growing as they do not get any bigger than a pigeon. I must admit that all pets have their little ways of getting their own back lol.

no idea, perhaps the picture got into naughty pet mode and legged it? Never mind, have another try, as it would have been nice to see it.
