When you begin a sentence with the noun modifier "which," you are asking a question.
Which cat annoyed the dog, the Persian or the Siamese?
You can begin a sentence with "what" as a pronoun, the subject in a content clause:
[What annoyed the dog] was that the cat was allowed on the bed.
The content clause is the subject of the main clause.
