Have your pets been extra needy since Seasons?

My cat had the Affectionate trait and it became so annoying after seasons, it kept meowing all the time and demanding attention... I had 3 toddlers and one kid and the cat was driving me insane, I would never get rid of it and I was lucky because he died soon of old age... I was afraid to adopt a new pet after this cat, but I decided to get a dog and the dog is so quiet, I think it depends of the personality of the pet although the cat before seasons was needy but not that much lol
