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?

My chipoo loves to cuddle, but he is also hella boney and picks the most awkward way to sit on or next to me that his elbows jab into me painfully. And he has a knack for waiting around nearby and not getting on you until you're about to get up. He's also extremely picky about his food.

My husky's only annoying habit (other than typical husky behavior at inappropriate times) is that instead of poking the bell to signal she needs to potty, she sometimes pokes me. Having a cold dog nose poking your perneum wake you in the morning isn't fun.
