So, when a Reddit user asked, 'People with multiple pets, what is some drama going on between them right now?' pet owners everywhere were ready to share the hilarious ongoing conflicts that are happening with their furry family members right now.
My ducks are so dramatic about sharing their pools. I have three ducks and two pools, one green, one pink. All three have decided the pink pool is their favorite and fight over who gets to be in it. They all three can fit comfortably in one pool, but they chase each other out and “fight” about who gets to be the only one in there.
It’s hilarious to watch. This spring, I’m buying new pools. Three all pink ones lol. They also bully the wild birds and squirrels. And when they hear the neighborhood dogs start barking, they run to the back fence and start quacking really loud. - lime-y
We have a new foster dog who is terrified of the world and everything in it. She's been cowering in the corner of the kitchen for days, but she's just now getting brave enough to start coming out to solicit attention. Our resident dog is jealous so she keeps coming over to try to steal the attention.
The foster dog loves the resident dog, and seems to get braver when she's around, so that makes her more willing to come out. So resident dog's jealous is accidentally feeding the bravery and socialization of the foster. (She doesn't realize it, but that's exactly what we were hoping would happen.) - tah4349
My cat was near a vent and meowed when I picked her up. Now the neighbor's dog is going nuts and they scream at each other through it - Sylar299
My flock of chickens is very dedicated to my rooster and obeys his every command—with the exception of one hen named Vicky. She doesn’t give a fuck about him and only wants to hang out with us humans. She follows us around and is just super friendly and cute and chatty, and of course, we spoil her with delicious treats all day.
When I weed the garden she’s right behind me, scratching up the soil like she’s helping me lol and eating all the newly exposed bugs. She’ll walk up to us, look up, and say “hmm-hmm?” like she’s asking, “What’s goin’ on?” The other hens are always by the rooster’s side, but she comes and goes as she pleases.
Rooster can’t stand it. He does everything he can to get her attention, like making the “I found food” call and picking up a random pebble to pretend it’s a treat he found. She figured out this ruse very quickly. If she starts to run toward us he’ll run ahead of her, stand in her way, and stomp his little rooster feet. She just runs past him, lol.
He gets especially mad when she’s late coming back to the coop at the end of the day because she’s hanging out with us, and he tries to herd her back over to it. She doesn’t give a F*CK and just sits on the porch with us, and we all watch him run around screaming and having a fit because she doesn’t want to go to bed yet. It’s hilarious. Somehow she’s still like #2 in the pecking order tho, she’s an alpha chicken - toss_my_potatoes
My blue heelers scared of my cat. My cat chills with the Jack Russell but hates the blue heeler. The blue heeler doesn't like to be away from the Jack Russell. Cue a terrified dog staring into the room just to be hissed at - Stunning_Guest_8685
I have 2 cats and a dog. Earlier today my dog barked suddenly while my old cat was sitting next to her and scared him so much he went and hid under the kitchen table. My cats have an ongoing feud related to my younger cat being convinced she's a vampire and biting my older cat on the neck for no reason, this usually results in her being pushed off whatever surface they're sitting on - galacticbritt
I have a girl cat that doesn't get along with her two younger brothers (who are peas in a pod). They chase her and she runs and hisses, absolutely terrified.. We were at our wits end because they aren't violent kitties except to her.
Then we started watching her behavior more closely and noticed how she would play with them when she didn't think we were watching. Sit by them, show her belly, even groom them. As soon as she noticed we were in the room she'd act like they attacked her, even if they hadn't done anything. Eye opening for sure. - dragonavicious
I've had a cat and a dog for the past three years but, outside of the first time they met, they never really interacted with each other. However now, for whatever reason, they occasionally play with each other — or, at least attempt to.
They haven't really figured out a rhythm for how this all works, and it often ends with the dog running away in terror (which probably pleases the cat), but at least they're trying. - JoeyCalamaro
We only have the one Great Dane, but there is currently a mouse in the house. The drama of catching said mouse lasted until 5am this morning. Doggo thinks himself a great hunter, but his real super power is barking and bunny-hopping across the hardwood floor. The mouse still lives and we're all exhausted today. - OfficeChairHero

We have a Pigeon that's half blind and can't fly that started using our tortoise's terrarium as its house in winter. Problems began when we started letting our tortoises outside in summer since they would randomly meet inside of it and the pigeon would panic. Now he has learned that the tortoises are harmless so now they just chill - NoLoveWeebWeb
Our small herd of 8 has to be separated into 3 (or 4) separate groups. Like, 8 horses should be able to be in a single herd, right? Nope! My mare is boss in her field. Her bf is super insecure (I think it’s because he’s half her size, but I’m not sure), and he’ll kick at any other boy who comes near her.
He has 2 badly injured legs already, and if he were to land something, he might injure himself beyond repair. He’s already a pasture puff, so we’re talking life ending injury for him. And obviously the risk to the horse he would be kicking. Not worth it, so those two lovebirds have their own paddock.
The next group is the rest of the mares. 3 of them. One of whom is a real militant man hater. If the geldings get too close to her, she tries to attack. One of her paddock mates is a stately, dignified older lady who would be really stressed by the upheaval the drama queen would kick up if she were forced to spend time with icky boys. As a result, those 3 mares have their own paddock.
That leaves two geldings and a gelding pony. We call the two geldings cell mates because while they tolerate each other, there’s not a lot of love there, lol. In the winter, the pony goes out with them. In the summer, the pony has to be on his own in a dry lot. Don’t worry, he has horsey friends right beside him, but his history of founder makes it so he can’t have a lot of grass. - LittleMrsSwearsALot
My horses who are bffs got a new buddy. Buddy likes both horses. Horse 1 likes buddy, horse 2 does not, so now original two horses are in a rough patch in their friendship. Feels like a cliche issue between high school girls. - baywchrome
We have two donkeys, Geriatric donkey and Chonky donkey. Chonky has separation anxiety and freaks if she can't see Geriatric donkey. Geriatric donkey is too skinny and on a special high-protein diet. Chonky donkey is, well, chonky, and is on a diet, which she hates (but is looking much better).
To keep Chonky donkey out of Geriatric donkeys food, I have to separate them. Now Chonky donkey is upset to be separated from Geriatric AND upset she can't steal Geriatric's much yummier food. Upset donkeys are LOUD. - grainia99
I have a cat & chickens. one of my chickens chased my cat yesterday and now she’s hiding in my room - Exotic_Storm6788
I have three small dogs and one cat, they work like a military regiment, the cat is big enough to look like a puma, so the three dogs follow whatever he wants. - Wafran
The cat desperately wants to play with the dog. The dog, who played with our last cat like best friends, absolutely refuses to have anything to do with her. It makes me sad, I feel bad for both of them. - askingxalice
