If you love your pet despite all of his/her foibles, you’re not alone. 80 percent of pet owners feel that, despite the frustration their pets may cause, they wouldn’t change a thing about their pets.
1000 pet owners were asked about their “pet peeves”...what bothers them most about their pets, and here’s what they said:
- Being sick on the carpet
- Waiting by the door to be let out – then deciding against it when you open the door
- Leaving fur/hair everywhere
- Waking you up in the middle of the night
- Begging for food when you cook
- Making strange sounds in their sleep
- Refusing to go out in the rain
- Walking across your laptop when you're trying to work
- Knocking something off a shelf
- Bringing a live animal back into the house
- Stealing food
- Howling or meowing in the middle of the night
- Constantly trying to get into a cupboard or another area they have no need to go into
- Ignoring the toys you bought and chewing on everything they're not allowed to instead
- Stealing food from the countertop when your back is turned
- Jumping on you when covered in mud
- Walking muddy footprints across the kitchen counter
- Chewing a shoe or slipper
- Lying on your head when you're sleeping
- Rolling around in fox poo
- Licking the butter off your toast when your back is turned
- Deciding they want a walk late at night
- Pulling the duvet off you in the morning when they want feeding
- Using the human toilet
- Doing a poo in a shoe or a slipper
