Pets can be real characters.
They all have their little oddities about them that most of the time we write off as just funny or absurd. But there is a common oddity which many animals do that is actually a sign of a larger problem. It's called "head pressing" and it is where an animal goes up to a wall and presses their head against it because they are trying to alleviate a pain they can't see to reach.
