Thoughts on People and Pets

"Psychologists now recognize that the need in some people to have a dozen cats is really a sublimated desire to have two dozen cats."


"A cat, after being scolded, goes about its business. A dog slinks off into a corner and pretends to be doing a serious self-reappraisal."


"A dog is man's best friend; a cat is man's best formal acquaintance."


"If you could breed a dog to a cat, you would have man's best accomplice."


"A cat is a philosophical creature, never seen to cry over spilt milk."


"Human nature: the occurrence of animal instincts in humans."

I have a dog and a cat. These are so true!

Did you know that people with pets supposedly live longer? Something to do with pets helping to lower people's stress levels... so.. I suppose Man's best accomplice really makes us smile while we go about our business! :)

Daisy,

Be it human or animal, touch is a life-giving thing. Has anyone ever had a stroke or a heart attack while cozied up with a pet? I doubt it.
