I don’t understand it.

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

Earl Derr Biggers
Cats are very independent animals. They’re very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. They’re familiar. They’re obedient.

I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I’ve never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me; it felt disloyal.

I have a pet goat.

There are conventions for people with serious, boring inventions, but fad inventors need help. You need someone to talk to. You just can’t tell your friends you’re going to invent a pet rock and mortgage your house to pay for it. It’s embarrassingrisky mentally. Your friends think you’re crazy.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.

If a dog jumps into your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.

Surely any man can appreciate the practicality of this choice.

I’m a writer who stacks cat food for a living. It’s true: I have a master‘s degree in creative writing, I’ve published two critically successful books, and I get paid to replenish the shelves of my local food co-op with pet food, sponges and toilet paper. Nine days out of 10, I do it quite happily.

I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It’s not. Mine had me trained in two days.

A pet can be a girl‘s best friend.

I’m not about to go out and buy a snake for a pet. I mean, I may have faced a few fears but I’m not insane.

Legislators are interested in their pet projects, getting re-elected, and popularity contests.

I admit my pet peeve is waiting on someone. I pride myself on being on time.

What happens when you take a lion out of the safari and try to take him to your place of residence and make him a house pet? It ain’t going to happen. That’s the type of person that I am. I’m that lion.

I got a pet monkey called Charlie Chan.

What a dog I got, his favorite bone is in my arm.

A pet around a small child teaches them responsibility and passion.

We need to bring awareness to how great of a pet cats are.

One of the joys of writing historical fiction is the chance to read as much as you like on a pet subject – so much that you could easily bore your friends senseless on the topic.

It might seem strange to feast on Guinea pig, but Ecuadorians love to eat cuy. Personally, I think it’s a phenomenal alternative to pork or chicken. High in protein, low in fat, cheap and easy to raise. Oh, and cuy tastes great, much like roast pig. You might call it a pet, but I prefer to call it dinner.

I want to be a lawyer, a dancer, an actress, a mother, a wife, a children’s author, a distance runner, a poet, a pianist, a pet store owner, an astronaut, an environmental and humanitarian activist, a psychiatrist, a ballet teacher, and the first woman president.

In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city. They’re low-pro now, not retro-worshipped in the manner of Depeche Mode, New Order, or The Cure, but you can hear the reason why – these guys are too sad.

I have a pet peeve about bands that don’t play their hits. I think it’s kind of selfish.

Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do, and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.

Do not make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans or they will treat you like dogs.

Martha Scott
I’m very into Taylor Swift. From her music to her wardrobe, she is absolutely killing it. Also, she has adorable cats that I would love to pet.

When I was 16… I worked in a pet store. And they fired me because… they had three snakes in there, and one day I braided them.

Pet me, touch me, love me, that’s what I get when I perform. That’s when I’m really getting what I want.

Connie Stevens
My pet peeve is when people come over to my house, and there are coasters, but they don’t use a coaster.

I liked animals better than people. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to be a vet – then I found out that every pet had a person that owned ’em.

Just watching my cats can make me happy.

I love pet animals, but I don’t have any.

For me, it’s always been one of my pet peeves to keep people engaged and talking, and just always being interested in what I have going on. To keep the level of creativity always turned up to the max.

Future
I saw myself as a teacher’s pet but with a little of Ed Haskell mixed in. I was the teacher’s pet, but that didn’t mean that I was trying to pull one over.

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

Kirsty Gallacher
Every time I decide I want a child I get another pet. I have 3 dogs, 13 birds and 3 horses, what does that tell you?

The dog has got more fun out of Man than Man has got out of the dog, for the clearly demonstrable reason that Man is the more laughable of the two animals.

You can get too bogged down in technology and you can sort of forget what it is you were trying to do. And with the Pet Shop Boys it’s primarily about the songs, it’s about song writing.

We are deeply sorry for the loss of anything – from your luggage to, of course, a loved pet.

I heard that Jesus had a pet dinosaur. Evolution must be a myth then.

John Bacon
Cats have a scam going – you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that’s the deal.

We wanted a pet food based on sound scientific principles and truth, not marketing hype.

I would say I don’t like people who are really into themselves or are very materialistic. Just always talking themselves up. Not being real is the pet peeve. Be true to yourself.

Austin Stowell
A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls… saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.

One of the most obvious ways dogs can improve our physical and mental health is via daily walks.

It is a pet peeve of mine when people throw around arguments citing ‘Fair Use’ and yet fail to actually explain what a fair use argument actually is.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

A hungry dog hunts best. A hungrier dog hunts even better.

Dogs got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Why would you want to do anything else but rescue a pet?

Kittens can happen to anyone.

Paul Gallico
Just because you have an exotic animal as a pet does not make you a danger or irresponsible.

Joe Exotic
I was ridiculed in public school for being smart. A teacher’s pet.

We have a habit of turning to scientists when we want factual answers and artists when we want entertainment, but where are the facts about the nature of the self? Neurologists peering at PET scans and fMRIs know they aren’t seeing the soul in there.

I worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get.

I always want to try to make films feel timeless, because one of my biggest pet peeves is that there’s a movie you love, and then you revisit it twenty years later, you show your kid or something, and it’s like, ‘Oh my God!’ with hairstyles and clothing and all that kind of stuff.

Cats are inquisitive, but hate to admit it.

People were a little leery when I was doing the press for my last album ‘Rumble Doll,’ yes. It’s always that thing that this is a dilettante or a pet project.

Patti Scialfa
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they’ve had their pets spayed or neutered.

Bob Barker
A move to a different town or school gives us new places to explore, new people to meet; a lost pet means we have to organize a careful search; baby-sitting requires looking out for dangers a young child can’t foresee; a car crash or fire demands that we get help immediately.

Jim Murphy
I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

Hippolyte Taine
I’d say the best is when I was in Africa, I saw a hippo in a house. Someone had a pet hippo. And they’re meant to be one of the most dangerous animals on the planet, and they had one that was sort of just wandering in and out of their house, just sort of roaming about.

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

Andre Norton
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

The world spends $40 billion a year on pet food.

I used to have a pet crawfish, so my friend made a mold of its claws and bronzed a key chain for me out of it.

I have realized that when you rescue your pet from a shelter, it is the most amazing feeling in the world how this animal changes your life by giving it a better one.

Where I go, rap goes. Rap is like my dog; it’s like my little pet. And where I go, I lead my little pet with me.
