This could be a way of telling the pet to "come here" or make the pet a bit annoying by walking where it's not supposed to.
A "tamagotchi" like pet creature which can be interacted with but the player does not directly control.
Possible stuff to do related to a pet: feeding, petting, playing with, sleeping, washing, poop removing, healing, attracting attention
A pet would need to have stats like hunger or boredom.
It would operate on a finite state machine.
It would also need a way to "talk" to the player - preferably through "thought clouds".
