What are some ways you pets act like bratty children
My example: My kitty Opie was prescribed liquid antibotics. I tried to give the little brat his medicine and he squirmed and clamped his mouth shut just like a 3 year old child would do. He's too cute to get mad at though.

We used to have a dog that slept on on a chest at the foot of the bed. One winter I started putting a blanket on him before bedtime...well one day I forgot and he did that "pull at your heartstrings" sad doggie cry. Put his blankey on him and he was happy :)

1. I'm trying to think of a situation where they don't act like bratty children.
And even bratty children don't steal your socks and put them in their food bowls.

I always say my cats are just like 2 year old toddlers who will NEVER grow up.

On edit: I guess the best example I can give is wanting me to get up early and play with them in the morning on weekends. Sophie even drags her stirngs on a pole with a bell toy on the bed and drops it on me in bed to tell me its play time.

2. Our dog refuses to eat if there is someone in the room...He will stand at his food bowl,
and turn his head and stare at you till you leave.

He thinks he runs the world.

Sometimes he does.

4. mine won't eat without a human watching!
They never have. If you give them food and walk away, they will follow you.

3. my cat can whine up a storm
If you don't feed her RIGHT F*CKING NOW! or if you're holding her and you don't put her down RIGHT F*CKING NOW! she'll start whining and it sounds EXACTLY like a little kid's whine.
