To ask, what are your pets’ most annoying habits?

He likes the crunch

Ive given hearts to every post which made me laugh but this ended me.

My furry little feline git waits until I turn my light off- every night - to decide to play by knocking everything off every surface in the bedroom and seeking out wherever I've hidden my water to knock it over. Every single night. He then moves on to seeking out toes and elbows to bite.

I adore him.

Om the subject of zoomies, our tortie-and-white cat was particularly prone to them and would get a mad look in her eyes and run around the house, especially when it was raining. Once, she knocked on my bedroom door and when I opened it, she gave me a mad look and scuttled off like Mr Bean 😂

Said cat also liked to sunbathe in the road, especially on summer days when the tarmac was warm. I remember my neighbours driving up to her and hooting their horn, only for her to ignore them and roll around in the road. My friend and I rushed outside to usher her to safety and she tried to scratch us. Finally, she got up very slowly and walked away. I'm amazed she made it to 16 and died from an illness.

Our dog is so quiet in the car sometimes we wonder if we remembered to put her in the back. Till we stop and unclip the seatbelts….and she barks so loudly, anyone in The back seats gets deafened. Tried to train her not to but think it’s gone on too long now.

wakes us in the middle of the night to do a cat patrol in the garden,

love her to bits.

Mine insists on being 'on me' early morning. I am currently typing with her curled up on one arm (she is small). It's fine most of the time but I do need the occasional coff or a pee and she hangs on to me like her life depends on it.

I wouldn't care but if there is a man around, any man, then she blanks me.

When my carer arrives we have a chat about what needs doing and she will be on his knee as he sits down and she gives me look of pure, "This is my favourite human, you were just a stop gap"

13 year old cat scratching furniture, carpet and curtains. He does bring our family a great deal of happiness though.

My pony loves to throw anything that is left on or over his stable door onto the floor. Rug? Floor. Coat? Floor. Brand new saddle (just after I got him and hadn't fully clocked his antics)? Yep. Floor.

Occasionally if he is busy eating his haynet I will chance leaving my coat or something over his door while I pop and do or get something. Even if I'm gone 30 seconds, it's on the floor when I get back.

He has to have his feed very "soupy" and he loves to wipe his nose in your hair when he has finished. That's a habit I could live without!

You are very very brave having a white duvet

MaleCat:
Walk over to the end of the sofa, scratch it
"Leave the sofa alone"
MaleCat bristles and twitches the fur on his back. Walks round the coffee table , back over to the sofa , scratches it
"Leave.The.Sofa.ALONE"
MaleCat proves that he is Half Goldfish by repeating the act .
Then I'll up the ante and bite DD's feet
"Leave my feet alone you little sod"
Walks over to the sofa.....

FemaleCat :
I need to use the tray. There it is . Ohhhh carpet...puppy pads
She has been to the Vet , she has a lovely clean tray . She just pees outside of it .

<Sigh>

Same with mine - as soon as she knows I am changing the tray, she will sit and watch me and as soon as it’s finished she’ll be on there taking a massive dump. Whatever time of day.

Boy cat is getting old and likes yowling. At night. A lot. (He is healthy but vet thinks cognitive decline). Girl cat scratches the fucking furniture.

My cute mini dachshund is a sun seeker and very loving. But.... when someone is at the door/ near our house/ motorbike drives past, she loses her tiny mind and barks none stop. She's well trained in every other area, I think this is a breed thing.

My cat sits IN the litter tray but somehow manages to poo over the side of it onto the floor (we put those training mats down to catch it these days). Good thing he's fluffy and cute...

The Long Wheelbase Hound has taken to asking (with the magic asking paw, which is adorable as fuck and hard to resist, he just holds his paw up and tilts his head a bit) to drink out of my tooth mug when I am on the loo.

Apparently bathroom tap water is much nicer than the daily cleaned and refilled washing up bowl of water downstairs.

The Deliquent Frilly Wolf is in spring Squirrel Mode which means we MUST lie by the door, door open, waiting for a squirrel to pass so she can run out and shout at it. Whilst we all freeze.

I am now firmly in hapless fuck territory having blown money on bulk buying expensive food for DCat, only for her to firmly reject it like I’m trying to poison her. She’d literally hoovered up the trial pack the day before!
she has a habit of waking DS1 up early by licking his bedroom walls and furniture very loudly. He said it’s like someone’s doing some sanding in his room, and he only realises it’s the cat when he hears her purring her goofy head off while licking the headboard 🙄
she also likes to lick the kitchen bin and the patio doors.

My cat does it pre poo. It’s called “running up a poo” 🤣

My adorable and much loved cat cannot stay in the same place to be sick - runs round the house and voms in several locations.
All of the preferred locations are carpeted.

My lab likes to carry socks. He will pick them up from bedrooms, the laundry basket even the clean ones from a drawer. They're often discarded in the garden. It means we frequently have to wear odd socks.

We also have a food thief conure. He will happily land on plates and help himself. The evil git also likes to bite bare toes. If he sees a toe he will run across the floor to attack. Absolutely terrifying.

My cat, wants me to stand and watch him eat from his bowl and say what a good boy.
Uses his scratching post then has a sly go at the settee watching me going mad.
Sits in the garden looking all innocent then as you go past runs and slaps your legs.
At night uses me as a springboard to jump from the bed to the windowsill.

i had a cat who would scratch one bit of the bedroom wallpaper when I was sleeping but with his head turned to watch me as he did it. He knew it would wake me and I would take him downstairs. He was happy then because he didn't like the dark and wouldn't go down on his own.

She dreams too loudly

When I come in, she won't leave me alone until I've made a fuss of her. She appears to have finally started following me upstairs instead of sitting at the bottom of the stairs and whining (she is allowed upstairs)

Ah, sin biscuits.

My cat has sex with my duvet every morning.

Sometimes while I'm still in the bed.

My dear greyhound - robbing bread from my shopping bag.
As she got older, peeing indoors and just being full of sass.

She crossed the bridge in Jan this year. Her most annoying habit was not living long enough.

When I’m eating, my green cheeked conure (little parrot) wants a bit. He gets in between me and whatever I’m having and tries to get some. If it’s safe for him, I give him some and he sort of beaks it a bit, then tosses it away and goes in for some more. I think he’s just chewing the juice out of it or something but it’s so bloody messy! And it feels like he’s not even eating it just playing with it! And it’s my food ffs!

DDog is a royal nuisance. She barks at Owl & Fox sounds on TV - I can’t watch Midsommer Murders anymore because every evening scene involves Owl and Fox cries.
She is very jealous when I show the cat any affection and barks.
She tries to lick off any body lotion or hand cream. I don’t like dog lick.

Oh yeah, the licking…the incessant licking. Wouldn’t change him for the world as he is my world. And he doesn’t roll his eyes at me when I ask him to load the dishwasher or do the laundry or pick up after himself. I mean he does none of it, but I love him
