    Are you a pet OWNER or a pet PARENT??

    A little quiz I made up......just for fun.

    1) What do your pets eat?
    a) my pets eat pet food
    b) My pets eat only the best pet food money can buy
    c) I cook for my pets using the freshest ingredient available, I eat McDonald's

    2) Where do your pets sleep?
    a) My pets sleep on the floor
    b) My pets have a choice of plush pet beds to choose from
    c) my pets sleep on my $1,500 orthopedic mattress because I REALLY prefer sleeping on the floor.

    3) What do your pets play with?
    a) I supply my pets with basic toys.
    b) My pets have a wider variety of toys than the local nursery school
    c) My pets are allowed to hire other pets to play with the toys so that they do not need to break into a sweat.

    4) what do your pets wear outside?
    a) standard collar and leash
    b) Matching collar and leash, preferably rhinestone studded and with matching coat
    c) Hat, coat, boots and a matching purse to hold the pooper scooper bags.

    5) what grooming does your pet get?
    a) Yearly hose off in the back yard, with monthly brushes the rest of the year.
    b) regular visits to the pet groomer, with no more than 2 months between groomings.
    c) Weekly visits to the pet SPA, for bubble bath, massage and aromatherapy.

    Now. rate your answers>>

    If you picked mostly a's you are a good pet owner.

    If you picked mostly b's you are a wonderful pet parent.

    On the other hand, if you picked mostly c's you are a pet fanatic who sleeps on the floor, eats junk food and probably has to cut your own hair.

    LOL..... this is all just for fun, hope you enjoyed.

    1) What do your pets eat?
    Only her favorite varieties of cat food, and of course treats and hoomin yummies.

    2) Where do your pets sleep?
    hahaha, anywhere she wants!

    3) What do your pets play with?
    Although I have purchased toys for Cassie, she prefers to play with things found around the house. Example: the rings that hold down caps on plastic milk jugs, pencils, the laces of shoes as they are being tied, and drawstrings on clothing.

    4) what do your pets wear outside?
    Cassie here. Outside? Are you kidding me? I don't do outside. You're welcome to go out there if you like. I'll stay in here.

    5) what grooming does your pet get?
    I comb her and clip her nails. Home grown kitty spa, I guess!

    Does that make me a purr-ent?

    1) What do your pets eat?
    b) My pets eat only the best pet food money can buy


    2) Where do your pets sleep?
    c) my pets sleep on my $1,500 orthopedic mattress because I REALLY prefer sleeping on the floor.

    3) What do your pets play with?
    b) My pets have a wider variety of toys than the local nursery school

    So I'm somewhere between a Parent and a Fanatic, te hee.

    FYI, by law, here in RI we are all GUARDIANS to pets!

    There are two types of people with pets:

    a) People who own pets
    b) People who are owned by their pets

    I proudly admit to being type "b"!

    The Clan had a good chuckle when I was read the questions and the answers!! They know, they are loved, well cared for, well fed, have quite a few toys, and run the show!!! I have to agree with MOMCAT, we are " owned " by our cats!!! And love it!!!!!!!!!

    Fun quiz!

    I truly think of mine as my children (seeing as I don't have any human ones) and treat them accordingly.

    When I call the vet's I say " This is T_C_ here, you know, Cleo's/Colette's mummy" (whichever I would be calling about)

    I have been known to read to them in bed when I have my book and they would gather round
    There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. (Albert Schweitzer)
