Pet-O-Philia
After reading this section I came to realize that my generalization of cats was quite wrong. Some cats are comforting and lovable, I suppose; after reading the story about Nancy and Charlie it made my heart melt of how the little kitten helped Nancy get on with her life. Even she stated that she was happy once again after the lost of her husband. This story made me think about one of my friends, Ailin, she's always make comments about her cat and how he's so cute and stuff but I never really understood why she loved that cat so much. However now after reading this story I realize that cats can also be loving and sweet, at first I thought that cats were mean and distant. I still prefer dogs over cats though, however my opinion about cats has changed quite a bit.
"Nancy and Charlie illustrate the best of the human-animal bond." Animals can help humans emotionally just like Charlie helped Nancy. Mostly dogs are known be a man's best friend but even cats can be people's friends.
Even if pets really did provide unconditional love I wouldn't like the thought of it because what if these pets are mistreated and no matter what we do they still love us. I think it would be cruel of our part if we do what we wish to our pets knowing no matter what they still care for one.
