why do some people act like thier pet is a human child?

Answer 1

I have a good example of that. I have a cat that is more like my child than a cat. When I was a small child my female cat had kittens and I was going out of town and it was rainy and cold and I was afraid that the kittens would drown or freeze to death and it was close to christmas and I had gotten some mittens for christmas and so I put these small kittens in my mittens to keep them warm and to keep them dry but by the time I got back the kittens died. and for 20+years this has bothered me and thats one reason and another reason is that I had another cat and he was my baby and he died and it killed my soul and when I got another cat I vowed to take care of this cat as if it were my child, because he basically is my cat can say mowma (momma) its very interesting how a cat changed my life my cat is my everything!!!!!!

Answer 2

Why do some people think that owning a pet responsibly (ie, getting it the correct vet care, a decent quality food, and supervising it) is spoiling your pet?

It seems to me when you take responsibility of a life, you should take good care of your pet, and not feed it whatever is cheapest at Walmart, let it roam around unvaccinated, or not train it.

Answer 3

Because some people (such as myself) have no children and feel the need to spoil their pet as if it were their child. It's more to sooth their conscience. It doesn't hurt the pet, tho I have heard of this one Chihuahua who was so spoiled that it wouldn't eat anything except fille minion and drink only bottled water. Some spoiled pet, huh?

Answer 4

Because they are living things like human beings. I even treat my pets better than myself. I know for a fact, because people told me so.

Answer 5

I have 3 cats and 2 dogs ,I don't think of any of them as human children. My dogs are dogs , and my cats are cats.All 5 of my animals are loved and cared for.My dogs do sleep with me and hubby at night , and eat pretty decent food , walked , and given attention ,the same for my cats.I wouldn't call it spoiled , I call it caring for them when I took them on as pets ,and I love their affection in return.

Answer 6

Thank God that I study the different solutions right here before I clicked on the link to reveal screen it. i do not ignore that I dont want to pass everywhere close to that link. No way will I watch it. To me, it is the type of stuff that you will be compelled to reveal screen in hell for eternity. actually my 'description' of hell and what this is going to likely be like. Sorry you stumbled on the video. I study a piece of writing with images about it once and that i will not imagine having to reveal screen it fairly taking place. only reading about it has left me with a hollow in my heart and an empty ill feeling, so i can only imagine what you all must be feeling after seeing it.... actually TIME may be functional you supply up picturing it typically, sorry.

They are happy to see you.
Pets don't ask for anything.
They don't lie.
They are amusing.
Inexpensive for the most part.

Answer 8

Aimals have a soul too, just as we do. They feel pain and depression too. Except they cant take care of themselves like we can, so they need and depend on their owner for everything and if they are neglected they suffer just as a child would.
If you cant take care of your pet like you would you child, you should not own an animal PERIOD.

Answer 9

I do that, and hey---it doesn't hurt.
You treat them like living things, kindly, genourously, and compassionately. Because it is living, and it comes down to this, that it helps you ..A LOT...Because you learn to treat something pretty and nice, and u learn to care for an animal.

Answer 10

Because they really like their pets and don't ever want to lose them.
