I believe people who have animals (pets) have a insecurity sickness. Some even call them there kids, or sayings like they understand me,thier always there for me, I dont know what ill do w/out them or it. Thay lack the ability to comunicate with humans becuase humans talk back think for them self and have appinions,they agree $ disagree, BIG PLUS if you like a CLEAN ODERLESS HOUSE, humans dont track (STUFF) in $all over the house, We dont take #1s or #2s any & everywhere that includes spraying your turf, We dont shed or fur, claw the furniture, carpet curtians, ect ect ect. P.S. HERES A LITTLE HINT, PEOPLE LIVE INDOORS ANIMALS LIVE OUTDOORS, This pet thing was and still is a corporate $$$ Scam for the insecure who dont like or cant handle person to person conflict, comunications, or they just dont understand that each person has thier own feelings, likes, wants, needs and desires. TRY GITTING THOSE FROM YOUR ANIMAL (PETS).
Hmm, the human race has had pets well before there were corporations, so that I consider false.

Pets can communicate with humans, dogs that sit by the door wanting to go outside, a cat who meow's at 5 in the morning when their dish is empty, sorry but not all communication is in a human language.

Haha as for people tracking stuff into the house, we do that all the time, as for shedding, well people do that too, sorry... most dust is consisted of skin from humans. As for smelling, well humans smell too.

Pets are not for insecure people, they are for people who enjoy pets and their personalities, for the added joy they bring into their life.

So basically, everyone likes person to person conflict and if you have a pet you do not like it or cannot handle it, interesting.

So sorry, I fail to see any point you made here.

Good Grief!

Yes, people are either clean or not... regardless of whether they have pets or not.

Pets are a deal breaker for me as I have allergies. It sucks, but that is the way of life as my health is more important as I don't want to live everyday with swollen eyes or sneezing like there is no tomorrow.

So far everyone I have dated serious has not had any pets, but there have been a few in between relationships that I met that had pets and either stopped the relationship before the 1st date or ended it immediately after I found out.

If you are with someone and really loved the person, I would hope that you would be understanding if they had pet allergies as not everyone can cure their allergies with Claritin or Benadryl.

John8andy,


Oh my goodness what a funny story ! Pets really do bring a certain joy to my heart.

I work in health care and often see therapy dogs working. I get teary eyed. Just bring in a dog to a nursing home and watch what happens. ( A nice one that is trained..! )

I worked in a nursing home once that had a huge celarium area with palm trees and a cocktiel free flying about, water fountain etc.


Sigh.. And oh my goodness one a pet or animal is sick or abused I take action !!!

Hello everyone..

My best friend's husband had two organ transplants before they met. He cannot be round litter boxes or bird droppings...she had to make serious changes to accommodate him into her life, and she found homes for her bird and cats with other family members. Sometimes love just happens and you both have to deal with it; sometimes it's all about one person making it work...I agree it can be a serious dilemna.

A person that owns cats would definitely be a deal breaker for me. I could not handle the idea of a cat being on or getting on any surface that I would be fixing or laying food stuffs on. Even washing the surface before starting food prep would gross me out. Then there is the litter box and the invasion of privacy when you put the cat outside.
It's the strangest thing, but somehow I always figured you were a "dog" person. And those counters--Every cat I've ever had has always known that's where I draw the line, at tables and counters. The cat I have now is not allowed to leave my yard. It is possible to train cats, same as dogs.

One good laugh a day does the heart good, and we've had plenty in this thread of yours! There was that earlier post (we all know who I mean) made me wonder about any poor animals that had the misfortune to cross his path... Poor things.

I have found that my furry friends pick up on other's energy. If it's sour energy, I monitor my cat to see if it's indeed 'him'. If it is, that usually tells me that he's got to go. I've never run into this situation. But my ex-husband had a male friend that would come by on occasions. And both of our cats ran and hid EVERY time he came by to visit. Ended up, the guy was nothing but trouble.
I'm glad I have sensors in the house!

Lately, I find that I can be around dogs that are not of the hairy nature (no poodles or Shetlands for me..Labs and German Shepards are the best for me)...and cats that don't shed.




Cats that don't shed...Does such a creature actually exist?
I had a couple of dates earlier this year with a woman that actually owned such a creature.


It was a very very expensive Burmese show cat of some kind, that looked almost hairless but extremely attractive, with gold eyes, I forget what it was called, but she took it on the cat show circuit, and it slept with her in her bed, she admitted.

It was (she claimed) extremely low maintenance....did not shed hair at all....

Cats would be a deal breaker for me, but only because I have a severe allergy. I grew up with dogs, but haven't any pets for years because I'm on the road so much.

Not having pets has 'freed up my nose', so to speak: I'm surprised at how many pet owners are oblivious to the stench of their homes.
