Top Five Pets

Pets are a very important part of human society and life, teaching adults about science, teaching children about responsibility and providing loving family companionship or an attractive household display. The pet industry is worth billions of pounds worldwide and continues to grow. According to the Pet Food Manufacturer's Association, 43% of the UK's population owns a pet or pets of some kind. It is widely known now that cats are the most popular pets, with reptiles being the second most popular since very recently and dogs following in third position. Small mammals, birds and aquarium fish are all very popular companions as well and a select few households have more ...  Read the complete review

Having always owned dogs you may think that would be my first and perhaps only choice of favourite pet but you would be wrong... I have owned a wide variety of animals including fish, mice, hamsters, gerbils, rats, cats, birds, dogs and a few wide animals I rescued at one time or another. The top favourite pet would be cats. I have always liked cats and own one myself. Cats are friendly, affectionate and independent. They will curl up on your lap for a nap when it suits them but will also spend time on their own independantly. I love their affectionate nature and the way they purr when they are content. The only drawbacks are they go outside on their own and ...  Read the complete review

I get no respect! I got a job in a pet shop. The customers kept asking how big I get! (The great Rodney Dangerfield.R.I.P) So, with the news that the owners of a python have been charged under animal cruelty laws after 'their' pet snake crushed and then ate a cat whole (what snakes are supposed to do, Britain's 3.5 million domestic cats responsible for the murder of 272 million living things every year and so hardly not guilty in this), its time for my contribution to the silly season. Statistically 91% of animal abusers are classed as animla owners and lovers. Now I'm not one of those people who needs a cute animal as a pet ...  Read the complete review

Having amassed an infinite number of pets over my lifetime I found it extremely difficult to select the top five, as I have had some quite weird and exotic 'pets' including bird eating tarantulas, piranhas, chipmunks, and even some rats! So, after some intense thinking and calculations, I have arrived at my top five list: 1) Dog... I feel this animal has to take top spot because they make wonderful companions and are very loyal to their owners. I personally have a Husky named Xena. She is a two year old female and has brightened up my life no end since I purchased her. The way she howls like a wolf when she is greeting you, or the weird guttural ...  Read the complete review

Here is a list of my top five pets One: Dog I chose dog as my first because i have 2 dogs who are my best friends and i love them to pieces. They are loyal and friendly and fun when they are puppies, although annoying because they aren't house trained when younger. They are great if you have kids between the ages of 5 and 16 or if you live on your own and want a bit of company. Two: Hamster Hamsters are great if you have little children, they mainly come out at night but sometimes during the day they venture out so you can put them in the hamster ball for a run around. When i had hamsters we built mazes for them out of scraps of wood they ...  Read the complete review
