What Does Your Pet Say About You?

Much like all our choices in life, the kind of pet we choose to buy, take into our home and live with says a lot about us as people. Similarly to how we take our coffee, what kind of gadget we buy into or the colour of our car – all these life choices say something to the outside world about us. Subconsciously, we choose such things as a signal to the outside world. It is therefore out duty to tell you our thoughts on what your pet says about you…

DOG, You’re committed, organised and sociable. Having a dog is a big commitment, so you’ve clearly got life pretty in check. That said, however, the breed of said dog also says a lot about you too. If you have a labrador, golden retriever or spaniel then you’re probably quite a traditionalist, whereas if you have a pit bull you’re more likely to be some kind of model-slash-photographer-slash-DJ who lives in Shoreditch. On the other end of the scale, if you’re lucky enough be the owner of a small, ‘toy’ dog, such as a Chihuahua or Pomeranian then either you’re completely whipped by your girlfriend, or you’re an evil genius using your poor pooch as the ultimate babe-magnet.

REPTILE, You probably have a goatee and some kind of ‘cool’ leather wrist band that you view as a subtle F-You to society and your boss who isn’t you wear the regular office uniform. We’re going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that you’re probably single right now, but don’t worry, much like your little sister will grow out of her obsession with Twilight, you too will grow out of your love of leathery skinned poisonous animals – just sit tight!

CAT, Much like your feline friend, you’re somewhat aloof, you like to do things when you want to do them and not on anyone else’s terms. When it comes to relationships you can be temperamental, but the woman who wins your affection will know that playing hard to get is the one way to your heart.

RABBIT OR OTHER RODENT, A real softie, you’re the sort of guy who would rather stay in and watch a movie than go out for a raucous night with the boys. That, or you’re a stoner who ‘likes the feel of his fur’ when high. Still, there is the more innocent reasoning that you have small children who wanted a dog, so you hushed them with the purchase of a rabbit or hamster until they get bored and start begging for a real pet again.

BIRD, You’re a creative type, and a bit of an exhibitionist (the blue parrot man who walks the streets of Kensington & Chelsea anyone?) who likes to be centre of attention – the kind of guy who wears speedos on the beach ‘just for fun’.

GOLDFISH, You’re non-committal, and either very lazy, or just sensible and know that your busy lifestyle won’t be jeopardised by owning this short lived pet – plus you don’t have to waste time with walks or cuddles.
