I'll start. My girlfriend's cat never purrs or does the "baking biscuits" thing even when he is clearly enjoying the cuddles.

If I scritch my cat just right on a certain spot on her back, she’ll immediately fall over onto her side to accept my offering of more back scritches. It works nearly every time.

My partner gets jealous because the cat refuses to fall over whenever he tries it.

My cat used to go in my bathroom and yowl until I went in and got him. Now he has progressed to just yowling in any room with no people in it.

My inlaws' cat makes makes it as difficult as possible to pet her when she likes it a lot. Doesn't sit still, if I pet her chin she twists her head away to show me the top of her head instead, keeps walking back and forth, and even lays belly up sometimes (and she does not like her belly touched at all).

I know she's liking it because she purrs like crazy, does not move away, if I stop looks at me until I start again. If in her walking back and forth I don't chase her and leave my hand out she moves into it for more pets.

I've developed some techniques to pet her two handed where she sits still for some reason. Like chin scritches with one hand coming from each side, she loves it.

My partner's Chihuahua hates gettint wet, but he has no problem yellowing his front leg when he pees. Also when he takes a shit, he moves on of his feet up and down slowly, like he is pumping the shit out.

He does not ever want you to stop petting him. When you take a break, he pushes his head into your hand or paws at it, much like a cat would do.

One of my cats loves to sit inside those little cardboard-esque drink holders.

The other loves cheese and ice cubes

My cat likes to sit in my jackets.

When I speak to him directly he'll often make really dumb faces
