I don’t like sharing pets with my family in the sense that If I give my full commitment to the cat I would be constantly concerned how others are treating her. So I don’t get too attached to her.
I miss my pups 
I miss a cat. I only have a dog left, i prefer the cat. wish it was still alive
I think so long as your pet doesn’t have serious behavioral problems they are good for your mental health.
Having my rats at school with me had a hugely positive impact on my life. When I was totally crazy one summer from dropping meds cold turkey and ragingly suicidal the only thing that stopped me from trying was knowing no one would take care of my rats. At the hospital program I was in they called pets a “protective factor”
I love animals. I would most definitely love to have some pets of my own when I get a place. Selfishly, the responsibility of taking care of them would be very rewarding for me, and it would certainly give me another reason to keep on surviving.
I miss my pets. My wife is hating on me. She tells me I get two dogs and I get to leave to go out of town. She says the dogs are too much work and are driving her crazy. I am out of town working for 34 days.
Can’t wait to get home and see the pups and the cats. My wife keeps saying she is going to sell our puppy but I don’t think she will do it.
I love my cat but I miss having a dog. I fostered a dog with 4 puppies and it was so amazing watching them grow and I fell in love with mama dog. My cat really helps cheer me up in the morning by being so loveable and playful. I’m just happy to have a companion with a range of his own moods and needs that I can attend to.
Dogs are super bad for my mental health. I like them but I can’t live with them. My sister and her dog live here now and thankfully they’re moving out soon because it’s literally hurting me to have him here. It’s just too much. I can’t handle a dog. They’re way, way too much for me.
I have a cat though and he’s helpful for me. He’s affectionate but not constantly up my butt about it and the care is easier.
