Pets inspire many different types of behaviour in their owners, mostly ranging from adoration to ridiculous obsessiveness, in my experience. Sheherazade Goldsmith
I think people are obsessed with their pets because pets don’t speak. It’s that simple. After you hang up the phone, you never hear a dog say, ‘You’re a liar, and you are making the same self-sabotaging mistakes that have kept you single for far too long.’ Taylor Negron
It’s important to remember that the animals are not grieving with us. They’re very accepting. They’re not lying there thinking ‘How could you do this to me? Why aren’t you keeping me going?’ Pets don’t do the human things of guilt and anger and recrimination that we do. They come and go with great acceptance. Jon Katz

Jo Brand
Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you’re making your own judgments, that could lead to a mistake.

Alison Sweeney
Ageing is very rare. We only see it in humans and laboratory animals and in zoo animals and in our pets. Basically, organisms that are protected from the external world. Once you create that protection, you live long enough to see ageing. S. Jay Olshansky

I had mice that I kept as pets when I was very young, and I’ve always liked the way they look. Even rats. I’m not scared of them. Catherine Deneuve

Juliana Hatfield
My campaign is about getting pets to be more active, and exercise with your animal is a great way for people to exercise. When you’re out with your pet, it becomes fun. You don’t think of it as a chore. For me, taking my dog out for a walk is very relaxing. Misty May-Treanor

One of my obsession is animals. I’m into dog rescues. It drives me crazy when people go to pet stores and buy dogs. There are so many dogs that need a good home. And this sounds crazy, but I really believe they know what is happening and are appreciative, and I just think they make for the best pets. Jim O’Heir
There is no such thing as a crazy dog person in New York. Are there people who are completely insane about their dogs? Hordes. But cat people may as well have whiskers and tails themselves.
