I am so unlucky. NONE of my relatives have pets My dad's parents used to have a cat called Puddles when i was very young, but he passed on when i was about six. No other relatives in my family have ever had pets whilst i have been alive. Only in my family household have we ever had pets. The rest of my family cannot understand why we keep them, especially Tia, my rat I've always relied on my own and friends' or neighbours' pets.
