Do cats or dogs ever snitch on each other to their Human parent? (sopuli.xyz)

Like if one of them crapped on the floor, would the other pet ever snitch on them in some way that approximated snitching?

Idk about cats, but dogs certainly do. Mine do it, and there are tons of videos online of this behavior.

Cats don't give a fuck, you gotta catch them in the act.

I had to take the 2/3 likeliest offenders and contain them near the scene or their crime to get them to get the message :(

Turns out their shit does stink

Yes. Last week one of my dogs alerted me to a mess the other one was making.

They know when one is doing something bad because they distance themselves in a, "Not me. I'm not doing any of it." way. They'll come and sit next to me and watch the other dog look up and see me standing there, "Ooooh, shit...I'm busted."

It's like their way of saying to each other, "You dumb idiot. I told you."

oh yeah my boy tells on his sisters all the time. he does a special extra-upset bark that sounds just like a kid yelling "I'M TELLING! MOOOOOOOOM!!!"

Yes! I just saw a video of this last week. A cat was very clearly blaming a dog for a mess.

My dogs constantly dobb each other in for their dumb shit they get introuble for.

When ever my pug does something destructive and I ask who did it, the pug looks at me smiling like nothing happens and my Chihuahua just looks at me then looks at my pug eith the most evil stare, when the chihuahua does something wrong my pug will just walk up and hold her so she can't run away.

Dogs will snitch on you to another person, they don't give a shit.
