Ok, I love playing the pets and having them in game but I feel like they are really needy like more so then actual pets in real life? Maybe it's just me? But having to like pet them etc like every 10 minutes or so is just a little annoying. Could just be me though. I still love the pets, I just kind of miss getting to control them and see what they were thinking or wanting.

Actually, if you socially neglect your pet, they can become sad and run away.
Live with that limitation. Two cats in one household might be an option.
Look at the many positives - pets can help solve some tense moodlets; dogs can dig up collectables for you and make you money; dog walking replenishes the fun need; feeling the love interaction earns bonus reward trait points.
Me too and this is so frustrating, my pets live with my simself and her parents. My simself parents rarely care of them autonomously, so this is often my simself who does this but she is a policewomen she often come back home tired and exhausted and my pets got the social and the play bars red often. But no way to say goodbye to them.
I got the mod that allows me to play pets.

As for pets being to needy... I think that it depends on the traits given. I have avoided some because of the needy factor. As others said an automatic feeder and a self cleaning litter box helps. I make sure to have wellness treats on hand in one sims inventory so I don't have to go to the vet for anything. Kids, toddlers, elders tend to automatically que interactions with them more than teens - adults.
My dog no matter what trait I put is too needy. How do I make my dog stop being so annoying?
I was bored one day and wanted to see how long it would take my sim family to drown. They had a dog and since they were all locked in the pool they couldn’t interact with the dog. It ended up running away and I felt so bad about that that went into manage households and transferred it to another family. I’m a sucker for dogs.
I have one family with 4 cats, and one of them is really clingy. She basically follows the Sims around the house and never leaves them alone. The others are far more independent.
Also I never realised you can get mouse holes in the game
I totally take this back. All the cats are being a nightmare - they just don't leave my Sims alone, are always begging for food or attention and frequently get sick. I've had to stop them going into the bedroom because they keep disturbing their owners whilst they're sleeping. I decided to put one up for adoption in the end as it was just too much. I should have stuck with just 1 cat or gotten a dog XD
I don't miss controlling the pets, on the whole, but I do find them needy. I mostly no longer have pets in my home, beyond fish, that in this iteration you don't even really need to feed. I do miss the ability to have the large birds from Sims3. My celebrity Sim really loved his bird. But, yes, the pets tend to be very needy in this game. My celebrity has chickens, though. So, it's almost the same thing.
