I love dogs, cats and birds.
But I can never have any pets, just because my dear mom hates pets!
She always thinks that pets will make our place dirty, and in a mess.
One day I was playing with a cat wondering on the street. As I was going to give a soft touch for the lovely cat, my mom roared from upstairs, " Never TOUCHING AN ANIMAL, DON'T YOU REMEMBER?"
Gosh! How can I do?

Does your mother dislike animals only at the reason for being dirty? Surely pets may soil our place. However, I will think that pets are not dirty, if we take care of exactly. Pets are not only dear, but becomes good friends. Your mother understands it and I think that you just keep a pet. Very Happy

hi, I love animals and eager to have a pet, however, my mother thought pets may make our room dirty. and because I live in the domitory from Monday to Friday, I cannot always take care of my pets or stay with them, I cannot have a pet. but I once found that there were many cats appeared in my community in the evening. they are abandoned. I start to feed them and I feel happy when doing that. I am so glad, although I have no pet but I can get fun with these lovely cats.

Hi! I�m Japanese. I love cats and dogs so much Very Happy

They make me feel happy and relax Laughing

Now I�m living by myself, so I have no animal. It is very sad for me. When I lived with family, I have a cat which looks like an American short hair and also a dog which is not a pedigree dog. If I can have a pet now, I want to have a Chihuahua! It is so cute! Recently in Japan, people who want to have a small-sized dog. So there is a problem that some people leave their big-sized pet in the wood. I think such people are not pet lovers in true cense. Do you have any animal problem in your country Question
