Even pets need to air their grievances.

It's hard out there for a celebrity pet.

Most animals get to enjoy the spotlight 24/7. They're cute, they're fluffy, they do funny things, and they reap the attention benefits for those qualities. But celebrities' pets are different. They have to sit at home while their human parents get to travel the world, get their picture taken, and make glamorous appearance after glamorous appearance. Sure sometimes they'll get a little Instagram love or a mention on a talk show, but they know who the star of the relationship really is.

So naturally these pets harbor some resentment. Everybody has pet peeves—even pets. We held a top secret roundtable with everyone from Meredith and Olivia Swift to Finn Seyfried, and we've learned their most secret inner thoughts about their lives in the captivity of A-listers. Read ahead for the real scoop.

I'm so proud to post my first photo as the face of @Coach for this year's #CoachPups Campaign, shot by Steven Meisel!

Lamby has never accepted a bed besides mine until this gorgeous one from @vintagewhiteelephant appeared. Maybe he knows they found us through #dogdayafternoon and want to help his friends @seespotrescued? Amendment at 10:43 pm: some of you have been expressing disappointment about the cost of the beds. This is one passionate woman running a small company and I respect the hard work that goes into her creations. but I also respect your bank accounts and am not encouraging everyone to spend half their rent on a dog bed. I just happen to love this gift Lamby was given and the good intentions of its creator ?? ?? I try and share products that are accessible and ethical- that will be a part of the culture of @lennyletter as well. Carry on, wild ones!
