[CD] Pets keep autonomously interacting with bushes

I have one cat and one dog in my sim's household both with the hunter/prowler trait because I'm trying to complete collections and I've noticed they get sprayed by skunks and bitten by squirrels seemingly excessively. between the two of them, and the two pop ups, they got either sprayed or bitten 8 times in the same in-game day. Unfortunately, its not just a bug with the pop up because at first I was trying desperately to give the dog a bath each time only for it to go outside and immediately be sprayed without fail. I have spent so many simoleons on vet treats, its wild.

What makes the bug particularly painful is that if you try to ignore it, it makes the pets miserable and they eventually run away. It reminds me why I rarely play with pets in my household. If this is more than just a me issue, it could definitely use some tuning.
