Permalink Reply by Rachel Lee on January 4, 2012 at 2:37am My last cat passed away last year :( Miss her dearly. But treating them as if they were people is weird. Sweet! ...but back away weird. There is a word for that kind of behavior in psychology, cant remember it, but yeah...you have a word. RIP Yenga xxx

When she was a kitten if you dangled string by her face she would bat it around like crazy and she got so excited when you took it away she didn't notice for a few seconds and just continue to bat the air then slowly stopping. SO CUTE!
Ok treating them special is fine, when you say treating them like your children it sounds like you make them a place at the dinner table and give them their own room lol. Even if you do fair play.

Some people anthropomorphize to the point of dressing them up and humiliating them, which is not enhancing the bond at all. I was a veterinary nurse and witnessed amazing bonds between human and animals which can't be explained by science, but is something very special. I have five cats, which I had not planned on, lol, but I do love them dearly. I think animals help us through difficult times and bring out sides of our personalities that we may not have experienced otherwise.
Having trouble uploading pics, but from oldest to youngest I have Jasper, Willow, Mr. Furley, Emu and Myrtle. They are all very dear to me and my oldest one is about 17 so I worry about losing her.
