What you have in common with pets

Do you feel that you have more in common with your cat or dog than with
other people, even in your family?

Wondering.
 

I'm not sure I understand the question, but, yes, I like my dog and cat a lot more than I do some other people. In fact, a lot of other people. Than family? Definitely some, but not close family. It's not a simple question, really.
 
You asked if I had more in common with pets over people. My answer is no;

Like my dog, I am social but that's it. However, I love my dog more than some people I have met.
 
I'm not sure if I have anything in common with the pets I have had but found them to be sensitive, comforting, loving and very aware of my emotions. When I was a child I had some rough days in school like most kids I guess. when I came home my dog was there for me. I'd cry into his fur until he was wet with tears. He just held so still as if he knew I needed to be comforted and he certainly did his part well much more than some people I've known through my lifetime.
 
They only thing I can think of that we have in common is neither of us is a fussy eater. Cat eats any kind of cat food, or meat, cheese, or anything appropriate for a cat. Other cats I've had prefer one type and one flavor.
 
Sometimes I feel I have more in common with my present and former cats.

It's a loner sort of question...very extraverted people would never agree and would look down
on persons who actually have more in common with their pets...at least they know our
personal habits, the , sounds, smells of your home and you.
 
A Psychiatrist I went to a long time ago , had a picture on his wall of his 5 shitzu's with the caption
"the more I meet peoplet, the more I like my dogs" . That's really reassuring -NOT ~ !

oh,.....ditto for my cat!....and....they don't judge, hate, discriminate, hold grudges, care about money....just love unconditionally. So....lots in common!:)
 
Our two little rescues are like having "three year olds" in the house and they are so entertaining. My favorite saying is..."Be the person your dog thinks you are"!
 
According to Philly I have a feline nature. Hmmm, small, fastidious, comfort loving, self contained, enjoy delicious food, love gardens, sounds right. I don’t hunt, however. Loll.

*tosses Shali some cat treats*

Don't worry about the hunting - this overgrown cat will take care of that.
