Animals are great! They’re adorable, they’re fun, they’re cuddly, and they just bring a lot of positives to our lives. But sometimes, they can do things that drive us absolutely nuts.
For example, my cat likes to announce whenever she’s doing anything. Needs water? Meow loudly her whole way to the water dish, meow at the water dish, meow when she’s finished drinking, and meow the whole way back to her bed as loudly as she can.
So, what obnoxious thing does your companion do that you really wish they didn’t?
I’m not a pet owner anymore, unfortunately, but I have a few to share.
My first dog was able to recognize the sound of my father’s car from the street, and would make sure that everyone in the entire building knew that she recognised the sound. She would bark from the moment the car appeared on the street, until my father was at home. We eventually managed to convince her to bark a little less, but even then, she would still bark a few times. Problem is, my father would frequently come back from work late at night!
My second dog loved to jump. Like, seriously, he was the world champion of jumping. He didn’t know how to run, he trotted and jumped to gain speed. When somebody entered our home, he would come to them and jump around them. A lot. Sometimes we were forced to put him in another room and close the door so that he wouldn’t greet our guests. He was very dumb. A very playful fella, though.
