Have your pets been extra needy since Seasons?

I haven't had interactions going off the screen but my sims do want to pet the dog/cat a lot - only one interaction though so fairly easy to cancel but still somewhat annoying. They also keep telling me they're hungry when there are two full food bowls available to them! Some of them will only eat from them if my sims call them to eat.. which didn't happen before Seasons. I really hope this gets fixed soon as my sims love their pets but they are being extra needy at the moment!
