Fat Cats
I view pets as a member of the family. When we lose them, we're devistated, and we mourn their loss as we would if they were human. I believe we're obligated to protect and care for our pets as though it were a parent/child relationship. After all, they don't know about all of the things that can be harmful, dangerous, or deadly. So, I'm puzzled when I see, or hear, about pets being abused or neglected.

I totally agree that "our" pets are part of "our" families. Animals are the essence of innocence. Children grow up to become potentially dangerous adults. However, these cute fuzzy creatures that exist within our house hold never reach a maturity on the human emotional level. Not only do our pets rummage their “territory” with pure imagination but they each behave in their own mysterious ways. For example, I have a demented cat that for some reason or another fails to grasp the concept of being pampered (which as adults we all learn how to enjoy). He revels in the fact that you're petting him, yet at the same time can't stand the attention. It's almost like what you're doing to him is too stimulating. He gets rubbed and then runs away in frustration only to return again. He needs help; what can I say!
