My dog will throw his toys and play with them on his own, which is great and super cute. But he will toss a ball under the couch or coffee table where he can’t reach it, then start whining incessantly at me to go retrieve it, even if I am working and on a video call.

My daughter’s cat loves to eat hair ties. She also throws up said hair ties every time. She will go to any lengths to find a hair tie to eat, then throw up.

Dog #1, will scratch at the door to come in. But what she really wants is dog 2 to go outside. So when I open the door, she twirls around and barks trying to get the other dog to come play. Dog 2 will then run over and they’ll start playing across the threshold preventing me from closing the door. If dog 2 doesn’t show up, then dog 1 will run back into the yard, then try again 2 minutes later. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get my dogs inside on a daily basis.

Dog #2, does this annoying lip smacking thing in the middle of the night and early in the morning. It is not a pleasant sound to wake up to.

My one cat actually whines. When she has to get up from when she’s comfortable, when she has to move, when I need to pick her up and physically place her somewhere, etc.

Like an actual child, when in cat terms, she’s a damn grown woman haha!

I have a cat like this. But she meows in a very long and drawn out time of whine whenever she wants whatever.

She wants into a room but the door’s closed? Meowwwwww-oooowwwwww-owooowwwww-owwwwwwwwwww

Up and down, up and down, like she’s really putting on a performance.

During Covid when I WFH and I had to talk in a meeting, I reassured them that I was not torturing a small child. I was so embarrassed bc it was a fairly new job, lol

Well I suddenly feel less annoyed by my dogs… Thanks everyone!

One sneezes in your face, one pisses in the bath, and we’re pretty sure the third one has cat autism or some auditory dysfunction as the slightest noise (doorbell, motorbike, house noises) sends him into a panic, which in turn becomes violence. And he’s almost 20lbs, which can do a lot of damage when it’s launching at you with claws out.

60lb dog loves to stand on my bare foot with her iron claws. And our other dog screams like a banshee when she sees a squirrel or bird through the windows. Doesn’t bark. screams

Mine has been waking me up at 5AM for years and now he has decided to move to 3:30 AM.

My cat loves to run into the linen closet every time it opens . It’s also where my dad’s ashes are , so I tell her " no you can’t hang out with my dead dad !"

One of our cats has a problem with marking personal items left on the floor, even though she’s fixed. We think it’s partially because she has bad eyesight and so marks stuff so she always knows where it is. It’s usually, but not exclusively, something I or my SO wear or have worn recently:

✔️ My purse
✔️ My jacket. Probably three times
✔️ SO’s backpack
✔️ My backpack that was sitting in the closet unused for several months
✔️ Articles of clothing that didn’t make it into a laundry basket
✔️ The top of the cat tower when we moved it into the living room (trying to assert dominance I guess)
✔️ Rugs (I dunno under what circumstances, she hasn’t marked their replacements. She will re-mark previously marked and washed rugs though)
✔️ Towels that don’t get put up

The solution has more or less been to stop keeping anything important on the floor.

The other cat likes to occasionally pull towels onto the floor so he can use them as temporary bedding or snuggle up against them. You can probably guess what sometimes happens after he leaves them there.

Well, one of my dogs chews at the butt so dang loud and hard that I swear they get a cardio workout as a result. This dog also has a cat like behavior of seemingly wanting both in and out from the patio. She will spend a grand total of 2 min outside and want back in only to want back out a few min later. She also has gotten sassier with age. Love her stupid stinking face. Totally not petter her right now or anything.

My cat started copying my other cat in that they now both try to eat my human food. The worst part is I’m always worried they will get sick because human food is generally not healthy for cats. So I always need to be cautious when leaving my food unattended.

Damn cats always trying to commit unintentional suicide.

Dog #1 loves to lay on the floor. Usually in spots where we regularly pass through, for example in front of the bathroom door or in front of the living room door. It wouldn’t be an issue if she is a small dog, but she is a big dog around 40 kilograms.

Dog #2 is usually quiet, nearly mute. Except when Dog #1 is blocking her way by laying on the floor. Then she gets nervous and starts a mixture of barking and whimpering until she can pass through somehow. I’ve never heard a dog make such weird ass noises as she does.

Dog #2 also likes to lick everything that gets in her reach, hands, arms, faces, shoes, other dogs.

One of our cats has the tendency to start puking once every one or two months, and then pukes liquids 4 times a day for a week straight. Another one likes to cry at random closed doors, loudly and often. I’ve already jokingly asked our vet if he would be able to cut the vocal cords. But sometimes I really consider it.
