As usual, an innocent tweet has prompted a flood of responses all about the weird things our pets do.

Anyone who has pets knows they can be strange sometimes.
And the following tweets all put the weirdness on display.

Not everyone posted photos.
Some posted videos or even just a story, all of which were equally entertaining.

Lets face it: animals are strange, and we love them for it!
