People love their pets for a variety of reasons, principally for the level of company that they provide.

Pets give us love, shed-loads of love, unconditional love. They care not if you look terrible, have a rotten cold, need a shower, are feeling happy or sad or bad tempered, they just love you.

Our fellow humans can never give us this type of love. Pets are amusing, they make us laugh with their antics, they help us to exercise, especially if the pet is a dog who needs to be walked.

If you live alone, you never return to an empty house, if you have a pet, they are there to greet you. Pets are good for you in so many ways, it has been shown that your blood pressure becomes lower when stroking your pet, particularly cats. A pet makes a house into a home.

People, whether they admit it or not, need someone to need them. Taking care of a pet fills that need. Pets look up to us with pure adoration. No matter how down you are, you cannot look into the soulful eyes of your dog who loves you more than life, and still fell disconnected from the world. We love them because they make us feel worthwhile.

Many people refer to humans as pack animals. This means that we don't feel safe alone and do better with others. Some people feel safer and more secure with pets. Of course having a relationship with a pet is going to give a person an attachment. Some humans get more attached than others.

Whether it be a dog, cat, bird, cow, etc... compassion and love can come from the companionship and caring for a pet. Not only that, it can come from receiving attention, understanding, friendship and loyalty from the pet. I will admit that some people do go over board, at least in my eyes. I do understand what is to love a pet as well.

When I was a little girl I can remember saying to my cat "I love you forever, you never tell my secrets and you always put a smile on my face... you're my best friend" In a world where people are not dependable, not responsible and have lost compassion, pets remain loyal. Besides, they are so cute and cuddly.

There are several reasons why people love pets so much. First they provide great company for people, especially those that are alone. When you have a pet for a long time, they become part of the family. Pets of lower intelligence such as fish or any other reptile might not fit in to this category, most of them, especially fish as just for visual appearance and the calming effect that they have on people. Many people just love to watch fish swim in a well lit, well decorated aquarium. But pets like dogs, cats and birds that interact with people, are the kind that people get attatched to because the pets show devotion that many humans don't show. Certain pets like parrots can outlive humans, so anyone with a pet like that certainly would have them for life and absolutely would be like a member of the family. I suggest anyone that is alone to have a pet of some kind.
