Importance of having pets

When you have a pet, you have a companion that you can tell all your cahoots and feelings to because pets can't talk human languages. You can also play with your pets for the whole day, since pets have nothing to do. They also reduce loneliness, depression and stress levels. And increases our child self-esteem and positive emotions.

Regardless whether you’re a girl, a boy, nonbinary, or any other gender, I hope you realize that if you’re your pet’s main caretaker, to them your name is Mom.

Do they yowl at you to get attention?

Do they yowl at you to feed them?

Do they cry because they want in/out and up/down?

Do they unceremoniously demand they have a way to have access to you even when they don’t actually plan to be in the room with you (e.g. “You can’t fully close the door to the bathroom or I’ll scream bloody murder”)?

Have you had to wake up in the middle of the night because they needed/wanted your attention?

Have you wrestled their mouth open to see what they were chewing on and then fought tooth and nail to make them spit it out?

Exactly. You’re Mom. That’s your name.

Animal companions help their owners live longer, happier lives.

Having a pet really helps me to feel less alone and less stressed when I have tough moments

Walking into McDonalds, trying to politely get past a guy with his little poodle dog in front of the door, the little guy tried to follow me in when his owner said "No Charlie, you can't go in unless you're buying something" and if that doesn't perfectly sum up what it's like to have a pet I don't know what will

Me and my mum discussing the possibility of having a pet.

Me: can I have a pet?

Mum: no, you have your siblings.

Me: ........ I knew it. I always knew they are animals!!
