Do you consider your pet a friend?

My dogs sleep in the bed with us. If we have to go buy dog food, they jump in the car and go with us. If we go to the park, or some other outdoor activity, they jump in the car and go there also. I take them almost everywhere I go, but not if they will be sitting in the car for a long time. I don't want them to get too hot during the summer or too cold during the winter. At Christmas, they each get a stocking filled with treats and toys that they get to "open". They are a big part of our family.

Yeah I consider my pets friends because they are really good companions and they like to hang out with me all day. That's basically what my normal human friends are like so I treat my pets like my friends because I love them both.

yes .. my dog is a friend of mine... He sleeps with me as well..

Absolutely. My cat is a very good friend. When I am sick she always comes and just sits with me. She is excellent company when I am home alone. She "talks" to me. She is a great kitty. I would miss her very much if she were gone. The whole family feels this way about her. We have had her for 11 years. She is part of our family. She has been a confidant to the kids through the years. I think that if you can't accept a pet as a family member that you shouldn't even have one. But that's our household I am sure many others are different.

Hello. I have a cat. Very nice looking and very friendly. If I tell her to come, she would come running. If I tell her to stay away, she would just jump out and disappear. Ha ha! A very understanding and intelligent pat. Yes, she is a very good friend, understanding and faithful. She is also very friendly with the guests visiting our house.

Of course. If you are alone, but you have a pet, they make you feel obviously that you are not alone. You play with them, cuddle with them, go for walks. Just like a friend, just more fuzzy, and loveable...

i love my dog of course i consider him as a friend he's my best friend even i take him on a walk everyday he's made me happier and im glad i have him ive had hime all my life and now he's blind and its sad but he's still holding strong and it makes me sad of what he has to go through im surpried he made it all this time and i couldnt live without him

My pets are part of the family. They're not just "Pets". The decisions we make also involve them because we care about them and love them very much. I have both cats and dogs, all of which have been adopted.

My family and I share the same love for animals. We also have some pretty sad stories to share like yours but well, back to your question, my answer would be...my pets are more than just friends. They are family.

Yeah, pets or animals may be considered a friend if we want to treat them that way. In some countries, they really give importance to their pets such that they bath them everyday, they buy them expensive shampoos, they provide them a good shelter, good food every day and even buy clothings for them. In our place, animals are just natural animals and we don't give much emphasis on how they look.

I think it's a beautiful thing you and your family are doing for your little cat. I strongly believe that pets are friends. When I was growing up, my family pet cat was usually the best form of comfort for me when I was feeling down, especially when she would rub her head against my leg, and I'd pick her up and cradle her at night until she fell nicely to sleep. Then I'd put her outside in her little house my dad made for her. She was so very loving and affectionate.
