Cat Vs. Dog Person

July 27th 2011 16:23
So many people are like their pets, and so many pets look like their people. What's crazy, is that no matter what, we're inheritantly cat or dog people. Our personalities just mesh and match with our pets, which is why we choose one or the other.

Now, that doesn't mean that your dog person has a cat or two, or vice versa, but some people just have personalities that just match a dog better than a cat, or vice versa.

Are You a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

Check out the link above to find out if you're really the dog person that you thought you were. Are you conscientious, extroverted, and agreeable? Then, you may really be a dog person.


I found that I'm actually a cat person, but I prefer dogs. Who knew.

Is your child ready for a pet?

May 13th 2008 22:48
There are so many pets out there that children tend to love to play with and pet. But is your child ready for the responsibility of having his own pet?

Pets are big responsibility even if you opt for just a small tank with one Betta fish- feeding schedules, water changes, chemicals, etc. It can be a big deal, and more than likely you, as the parent, have a lot on your plate already and would rather not add the responsibility of a pet.

The only thing that you can do is measure your child. Unfortunately there's no right way to tell if your child is at the same level as someone else's. I can't say that at 7 year old every child is ready for his first guinea pig, but I will admit some are.


It's up to you as the parent to determine whether or not your child is ready to take on the responsibility of caring for a new pet. But, at the same time you still have to make sure that the child IS properly feeding and caring for the pet. When it comes down to it, you just can't say "Well, it's his puppy, I assumed he was taking care of it." That's how you end up in jail for animal cruelty... So, you're still going to have to back track and make sure that the child is still being responsible for the care of the pet he had to have.

That doesn't mean that all the responsibility is your, it just means that you need to oversee what's going on.

You need to determine your child's maturity and responsibility level before you even opt to bring in a new pet to the family.
