Maybe they saw another passing dog or a nearby squirrel. Maybe they're just being fussy, but sometimes it feels like a full-body exercise wrestling for control of your dog's leash. 

Dogs often hate having baths because they don't like the loss of control that comes with having water dumped over them. Whereas a dog may happily splash through rain puddles, they might put up a fight when it comes to bath time.

If you've ever had to bathe your cat, you probably know this glare all too well.

As they clean themselves, cats don't actually need baths unless they've somehow gotten dirty.

In the rare instance they need one, don't expect them to love it.

Nothing says your dog loves you more than a face full of their saliva. Dogs are affectionate creatures that enjoy sharing the love with their owners. 

... while having a cat means sometimes getting poked in the face.

Cats feel with their paws, and that means sometimes using your face as a makeshift scratching post when they're feeling affectionate or playful. 

Cat owners who work from home know what it feels like when their cat mistakes their computer mouse for, well, a mouse. 

This cat has reached the top of a door, although it looks like it might be regretting its decision.

If it fits, it sits. There's a reason some people think cats are liquid. Cats love unconventional lounging choices and squeezing into small spaces. 

Hugging your pet can relieve stress and help with anxiety and depression. Being close to your pet raises oxytocin levels in your brain, which are responsible for increased positive moods. 

Pets like dogs and cats aren't one for personal boundaries and that includes interfering with romantic moments.

Why would you ever think you're allowed to stop paying them attention?

Dogs can be vocal creatures. They may be barking for a number of reasons, but every pet owner knows what it feels like to cover their ears with a pillow or try to calm their dog. 

Pets often have scheduled times when they eat each meal, creating structure around their daily lives.

Pets love to beg for human food (even when it's not good for them) by tugging at their owner's legs or sniffing around the dinner table. 

There's a reason pet Instagram accounts are so popular.

Whether it's to celebrate a holiday like Halloween or to let their pet's personality shine, owners will dress their animals in a variety of costumes. 

Sometimes a pet's fun leads to ruined sofas and destroyed shoes. This dog looks guilty, caught in the act after destroying a pillow.
