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 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.
