(#5) Expecting Your Dog To Communicate The Way A Person Would
Here's a seemingly simple fact that nonetheless can be hard to remember: dogs can't understand us because they don't speak our language. When you yell at them out of frustration and ignore their body language cues, they can tell that you are upset, but don't understand why. This can make them anxious or aggressive because they want to please you but don't know how.

(#14) Petting Your Cat Too Aggressively And Too Often
While cats like to pretend they are apex predators, they are actually big marshmallows who can become overstimulated quite easily. You might think shrieking with delight and cuddling them enthusiastically all the time is a great way to show love, but cats appreciate a lighter touch.

(#4) Not Taking Your Dog's Energy Level Into Account
This is such a simple thing that so many first-time dog owners overlook. If you are a couch potato, a high-energy greyhound puppy is going to go nuts trapped in the house marathoning Game of Thrones with you. Likewise, if you are looking for a dog to run with you for miles every morning, your best bet is probably not a stumpy basset hound.
Make sure you get a dog that matches your lifestyle.

(#15) Assuming Your Cat Always Wants To Be Ignored
Cats are just like people. They need a balance of alone time and interactive play time to be happy. Just because cats are generally more aloof than dogs doesn't mean they need no love or playtime at all. Be sure to play with your cat regularly. -
(#13) Rubbing Your Cat Wrong
Cats greet those they like by showing their bellies, and you rubbing their belly is actually breaking their trust. This is why they appear to be asking for belly rubs, but then scratch at your skin.
Cats prefer soft head pats as a hello.

(#2) Not Cleaning Your Cat's Litter Box Enough
Cats are notoriously clean and finicky creatures with a taste for revenge. If you don't keep their litter box clean enough for them, or even use a litter they don't like, it's very likely that they will use your bathtub or shoes.
Neither of you really wants to go through that. Be sure to clean your cat's litter often.
