Relationships With Animals

There are many people who spend much of their time with animals. They like to dress them up, kiss the, love them, and maintain a very good relationship with them. They may spend so much time with the animals that normal human communication may be very uncomfortable for them. Luckily, there are not many people in fact any that act like that. I myself am a person that spend some time with my cat, but I do not do it pass an obsession like others might do. Like me, there are other people who have different types of relationships with animals.

Let us look at my sister and me as an example of having different relationships with our cat. We both share him and his name is Mandy and I believe that he has experienced two different relationships between my sister and me. My sister loves to get Mandy’s attention a lot. She does that by feeding him almost every time he meows and is by the kitchen side door. She likes to dress his wounds when he gets into fights and she loves to dress him in her doll clothes, like a tutu. She tends to go pick up Mandy any time anyone else tries to play with him, therefore claiming that Mandy is her “son.” Mandy does not seem to like when she is always squeezing him, but she does not take notice with stuff like that. On the other hand I care for a cat like a regular cat lover. I give him water and food when someone else cannot, I pick him up and cuddle with him, and I would play with him. Other than that my relationship is simple.

In conclusion, there are different relationships that people have with animals. Some could be too “lovey dovey”, while others could be plain and simple. Or they might have a crazy obsession with that animal.
