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 cat has a spot right next to my bed where she sits and stares at me. She looks like she needs something, that's where she sits to meow when she needs something. But she doesn't. Not relaxing, sitting upright staring right at me. Frequently, for long periods, at any time. When I'm sleeping, on my phone, watching TV, doing anything in bed. She just sits there staring right out of arms reach, and will leave if I try to grab her.

She also licks a lot, too much. Blankets, pillows, me.

She's staring at you because she loves you she runs away because cats are goofy.

My dog stares at my husband and me. I read something from a dog psychologist that said it's like they're "hugging you with their eyes," and I think that's the cutest description ever.
