Most often people start pets from loneliness or misunderstandings of their loved ones. They so want to understand, love, warmth and affection, and most often they get these feelings only from a pet. It's nice to come back from work and meet the "joyous face" of your favorite dog or cat on the threshold. This is for an indifferent cat, dogs and all other animals "on the same face". For the owner of the animal, his pet has a special face, which he learns from a thousand. People start pets, motivating it with love for cats or dogs, parrots or turtles, fish or newts. In fact, most often the whole thing in the formation of personality. It often happens that a person simply does not have to care about anyone or lacks care for himself.
Having spent numerous soc. Polls we get different answers, and many of them are: because animals are like babies; because I want to take care of someone; I want to have a sincere friend alongside. " And this is not all the answers to the question "why do people start a pet".
Have you ever thought about the fact that it's not we choose an animal, but the animal chooses its owner? Have you ever had cases when a dog or cat was following you down the street? I remember when I went home after walking with a guy or from an institute, the same dog always followed me. I could not take her to live with me, at that time in my family there was a cat and a parrot. And the dog kept following me for about a year. I even feed her beginnings, as the dog did not just walk behind me from a distance, she tried to guard me. And even waited at every stop on the way home, if I went to the shops. Therefore, I could not feed such a guard. And with me such stories have happened more than once since childhood. I do not think that I'm alone. Animals, like guardian angels, protect us from something dirty. After all, they are so pure and innocent. They do not know how to betray, but they know how to forgive betrayal, our betrayal. It's not they who throw us, we throw them when we think that they do not need us. We first tame the "puppy" of a puppy, a kitten, a chick, and then, when he becomes an adult, we throw ourselves to the mercy of fate, saying that we released him at will, or somehow explaining the fact of betrayal.
Animals often choose their own master to guard it and make it purer and kinder. Think of tales of dragons. It says that the dragon chooses his own master. So dogs, cats and all other animals choose to themselves whom they are able to do kinder and stronger. And if we justify their hopes, this question remains open until the end of the life of this very being.
We are adults, we believe that we have the right to dispose of animal life, without thinking that this little lump saves our lives more than once. Children are much cleaner than us, they are more devoted to their animal friends than we are. We are more often guided by the pragmatic and financial side of the issue, and they just love children and are ready to help their pet, whoever he is.
Parents often start a pet for their child, so that the kid learns to love the world around him. But the child does not need to learn this, the child is taught this before birth. He just needs to help remember this truth.
When you walk in the park, you often meet people with dogs. And if you look closely, then, as a rule, the dog and its owner are very similar to each other. And, probably, it is no accident. This rule applies not only to dogs, but also to other pets.
Psychologists say that most of the people who start this or that animal, just try to find those qualities of character that they could not find in themselves. Or vice versa - they recognize themselves in a particular being.
And still it is possible to spend an inexplicable border between similarity of men and women with dogs and cats. Women choose to themselves those dogs that subconsciously resemble the character of the man of their dreams, and regardless of the sex of this dog. Men in a dog see themselves, just as unconsciously. But the child is looking for a real friend and assistant in the dog. If a child asks for a dog, then it is lonely, and you pay little attention to it. We do not blame you for this, because we live in a market economy, and we understand that you will not be full of holy spirit. A child is not always clear, but he (the child) knows for sure that the dog will never abandon him at the right moment for him and will be with him, by all means, and will protect him to the last drop of blood.
With cats, too, everything is much easier than we think. Any woman wants to be like an independent, graceful, slender, beautiful cat. And so it is not surprising that women are very fond of these beauties in fur. Men also subconsciously identify a cat with a woman. But the children love cats, as many scientists say, only because this animal reminds them of their mother - affectionate, tender, soft.
Pets are innumerable, choose every taste, but do not forget that you need to look after them. Do not forget that animals also need your love and support, which they are always happy to give you without a trace.
Man is a being that, irrespective of opportunities and abilities, is eager for power, whether it's its own small world, state or the whole world. And power over the animal, power full, gives the illusion of power at least some. But who knows: do people have power over animals or, animals have full power over us!
