Could you live without a pet?

[dogboy123]

I was thinking the other day, if my family didn't have our cats then I think life would be a bit different. MY cats bring a sence of happiness almost to the house and make it a nice place to be imo. I can't imagine living without them, I recon there'd be more arguments and more stress.

Could you live without a pet?

I'm a pretty big fan of pets - especially cats. It livens things up, having a cat running around the house

Its proved that a cats purring relives stress in a stressful situation.

No I doubt it. Thomas (cat) is so cute and we treat him just like another member of the family.

No, I would of been really fat and died eventually because I wouldn't of walked the dog

I can, but extremely hard. When we lost our dog, I thought I wouldn't be able to but sadly we have to with my mums long work shifts

It's still not the same and this was a few years ago. Coming home to an empty house, having to pick food up off the floor, nobody to cuddle when you're feeling down

Yeah like one of my cats, every night sleeps on my bed. He really likes the attention. The other cat (whiskers) is quite timid, but he's got some character to him and he really likes the attention aswell. They are basically part of the family

My friends cat sleeps on her bed. She really doesn't look amused when we're all sat on it

I can, but its not easy. We lost our dog couple of months ago, it was very hard to deal with at first because they got the dog before they even had me so she had been in the family for quite a while. The things that i found hardest to cope with at first was getting used to not doing those little things like putting out the dog food, clean water, coming home to an empty house etc... Before any of this happened i thought i wouldnt be able to live without my dog but life goes on i guess.

Well, seeing as I don't have a pet, I think I could live without one, yes.

And it's a bit worrying for people that can't, because what will they do when their pet dies?!

My fish all seem to hate each other, and another lot of snails have found their way into the tank- other than that, the gentle whirring of the pump soothes me to sleep.
