Why do you have a pet (logical and sentimental reasons)?

  • Favorite Answer

    Aside from the; pets are comforting, and sweet, and joyful.

    Here's why;

    We have two cats because we originally got them when my sister and I were very young to help "teach us some mild responsibility."

    We have a dog because we felt more comfortable having a dog who barked and warned us when there was someone coming near our house.

    My sister and I both have pets, her Cockatiels and I ferrets, to show our parents that we're responsible and can handle another life.

    I have pets to keep me busy and because i love animals. If you are thinking of getting a pet a leopard gecko is the way to go if you want something easy. If you dont care about the amount of work get a dog. if you like something that will curl up next to you and is not to hard to take care of get a cat. if you want a rodent get a guinea pig if you dont mind the smell. Hamsters bite but they are cute and easyer than guinea pigs. fish can be a pain in the butt but if you dont mind cleaning a gross tank once a month thats what you could do. so depending on the person it could be sentimental or logical. It depends on the kind of person you are.

    Source(s): I have 2 dogs, 3 leopard geckos, 1 cat, 2 guinea pigs, a bunch of fish, and a hamster.

    They make me happy and it's so funny watching my rabbit's binky.

    They make me laugh and smile and the time passes quite fast when I'm with them.

    I feel proud and responsible because I have to look after them, it's like they're sort of like my child - I feed them, play with them, clean their space, brush them... etc
