What does your pet mean to you?

First of all, you all know I am dealing with a ton right now.
I went to PetSmart today to buy my dog food that would be acceptable for her to eat on Passover.
There were kitties there. In cages  i am ALLERGIC to cats. BUT I went to say hello...
There was a cat there. A black and white one. And I wanted to bring it home desperately!
Seeing that cat and having it purr at me made my day 
My dog Shana is SUPER! I love her to bits.  I can tell her anything and she won't stop loving me. She's always happy. And fun! She does the ctest things. And comes and licks me when I cry.
She's my baby (for now!)
I never realized how therpaeutic a pet could be!
Anyone have any pet stories to share?

I love going to Petsmart! Everytime I pass by, whether I need to stop in for something or not, I usually will stop just to go see the kitties!!! I always have to control myself....I already have one cat, and I've been known to take in several at a time. But you are right, Ruchie, they are soooo cute!!
My cat, Rocky, is the prettiest cat I've ever seen (I must say, I'm a bit biased  ) I think he's cuter than the cats on commercials!! He's silver and black striped, with big gorgeous gold eyes, and all the vets always oooh and aaaah over him, and say "What a big, handsome cat", even though I'm sure they see a million cats a day  Anyway, he's my baby, and he knows it. He gets very very jealous, though...if I have a boyfriend or a new roomate, he will pee on my bedspread or the couch or something until he gets used to the new situation. I think he does it to get my attention too. That is when I get VERY angry at him....grrrr....bad cat. But most of the time he is so adorable, and he fetches!! I can literally throw a ball and he goes and chases it and attacks it sometimes, and then once he's caught it he brings it back! It's so cute to see him trotting back with this little ball in his mouth.
I could go on and on about pets! I love them! They are very therapeutic, and they love you no matter what!

My orange cat Toby (lee lee) is totally aloof. He ignores all people all the time, except he gets in these moods where he wants pats and chases me (literally) all over the house clawing at my pants leg and meowing, telling me he wants attention. So cute.
Charlotte (the roon) is mostly a cow. She wanders round like she owns the place but if I'm upset she's the first one to jump in my lap and sit there looking at me like she's listening to me. She'll then cuddle in my lap purring and go to sleep.
Yep, they're definately my first born babies and I love em

Archie is my baby, no doubt about it. I've even got the mommy thing of waking up as soon as he does in the night! He's always ecstatic to see me, gives me hugs and kisses and still runs to me whenever anything scares or hurts him. He's a rascal in many ways, but then he's so good as well - and given all the cr*p the little darling's been through in his short life, he's amazing. All his vets love him...even when he'd just broken his leg, he wasn't snappy at all but just wanted the nice people to help him. I'm so proud of how he's done...he's been getting his first walks off the lead for two months this weeks and it's sooooo amazing to see him racing around totally happy given how bad he was a month ago! I'll have to post some new pics soon! 
Our old family dog, Jake, is just that - a member of the family. We all love him to bits even tho he was a terror when he was younger and now poops in his sleep. Ew! We think he's going to live forever! He's been knocked down by cars 3 times (before we owned him), has jumped off a cliff , had kidney failure, has got really bad arthritis and cataracts, has had 3 strokes AND has cancer, but he's still trotting! Tho he looks a total mess atm...he hates being groomed and as we were't expecting him to live beyond this winter just gone we didn't make him have a haircut. Now he's still going but is a big fluff-ball!

um... I'm not much of a motherly sort. But my sister has an orange moggy, and we don't really get along.
The cat was on my chair just now and I made like I was going to sit on it, to see whether it'd move. It didn't. I have to share the chair.
Then I accidentally broke wind on it just now. It still hasn't moved.
Dang lazy cat.

First of all, it was my ex-husband's idea to get these cats. I had wanted a cat, but I would have been pretty happy to go to a shelter and adopt an old cat, just one. He had a friend who'd found a mama cat with kittens, and that's how I ended up with two feral cats, and boy, what a pain in the butt they were!
When my ex and I decided to split up, he made it very clear that under no circumstances would he take the cats. They were "my" problem. I was furious... not because I didn't want them, but because I was about to potentially be homeless and I didn't know what the heck I was going to do with the felines.
One night, I was sleeping down in the basement (yes, the BASEMENT), crying about the whole mess I was in, and Phoebe jumped up on the bed. She curled up against my belly, and I draped an arm around her. Well, she took a paw and stuck it in my hand, like she wanted to hold my hand, and looked up at me with these big, sad, "I just want to comfort you!" eyes. I just bawled, and I decided right at that moment that those two cats were going to stay with me no matter what.
And they have... through some less-than-ideal living arrangements and an awful lot of moves. They're still my #1 source of constant daily laughs, with some of the insanely dumb things they do. They still comfort me when I'm feeling blue, and they snuggle me when I'm sick. They even sat with me in the bathroom through 95% of my IBS attacks - LOL!
It's going to sound awful to people who don't understand, but there's no doubt in my mind that if it came down to choosing between a significant other and my cats, my cats would win. They are 100% unconditional love.
