I have black dog and a stray cat, which are almost part of our family. Dog is constant companion of ours and although eats and drinks with me, it keeps me always alert. Cat is a wanderer and always roam about and comes to me for some milk and chapati!

I treat my pets like my friends. I really love animals. I have two miniature poodles called Secret and Magic. They are such loving companions. They feel soft to touch and they look cute to look at. We spend great times together at home or out walking. We go along the path and to the sandy beach. Sometimes we go across the green fields. Last year I took them on a camping trip with me. Every night Secret would try to get me off my camping mattress but he did have his own comfortable place to sleep.

i do not have any pets so i would not know if one should treat pets as a friend or not. i thought pets were supposed to be loyal at least in the case of dogs. As you have pointed out different kinds of pets have different habits. Dogs are more friendly and want to play with the owners while cats are happier being left alone as they always want to roam till they get tired and get hungry and make a fuss if they are not fed well.

I have a cat, very friendly and sweet. Yes, I treat her as a friend, even as a member of the family. But, I had to name her "Picky", because she is really picky about the food I give her ! Ha Ha !
