I wish more people regarded their family fuzzies as friends, not mere pets. If you spend time and bond with them, cats and dogs can be the most loving and rewarding people you know.
They're more like kids than friends, since friends don't usually rely on you to survive. They're call fur babies for a reason.
I think of my cat as an actual full-grown member of our family.....of course she's older now, but I want her to feel she's as well regarded and cared about as anyone else. My in laws were just here, and they treat the cat like a pet - meaning, they disregard her presence and never even once noticed her at all. I dote on her, but maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because she's so cute.....!
There's a documentary about Gunther, apparently it's all a scam and the whole thing is a cult.
Great pics - thanks for sharing those!
I don't think I've met anyone that wasn't ratchet or degen who thought of their pet as anything other than close companions.
There was a news article in USA Today (which we always get about five days late for some reason) about a woman who adopted a chihuahua that was mutilated by it's former owners and had it's paws chopped off to the bone.
The woman said, "please we don't know who did this to this dog, but no calls for justice, we just want to get the dog better." They were fitting it with special pads so it could try and walk again.
I just have to wonder about the criminally sick mentality that could harm a dog or cat that way.
