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

[JMSA]

We all love our pets, of course. But what do they do that bugs you?

Dog (male, nearly 11 years old): licks my dressing gown and pillowcase. So I took off my dressing gown earlier and laid it on the sofa. By the time I came back, he had licked it all around the collar and hood. Whenever I make my bed, I have to pull the quilt over the pillowcases, otherwise they’d be licked and sodden. So he basically likes to lick where my body has been! Adore him to pieces, but it’s annoying and gross.

Cat (1 1/2 year old rescue, have had her for 6 months): this habit really gets my goat! She will miaow at the back door. Obvious answer is to let her out, right? So I’ll do that but she’s not remotely interested in going out and will move away from the back door as I approach it. When she goes outside, she miaows to be let back in one minute later (no exaggeration). It’s Scotland, so unfortunately too cold just to leave the door open for her to come and go.
I love her and she’s incredibly sweet, but I will never understand cats.

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.

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.

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.
