Pet A cat and dog, the two most popular pets A pet (or companion animal) is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or protection, as opposed to working animals, sport animals, livestock, and laboratory animals, which are kept primarily for performance, agricultural value, or research. The most popular pets are noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities. Pets commonly provide their owners (or guardians) physical and emotional benefits. The most popular pets are likely dogs and cats, but people also keep house rabbits, ferrets; rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, fancy rats, and guinea pigs; avian pets, such as canaries, parakeets, and parrots; reptile pets, such as turtles, lizards and snakes; aquatic pets, such as tropical fish and frogs; and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs. Some scholars and animal rights organizations have raised concern over pet-keeping with regards to the autonomy of nonhuman animals. Birds[edit]

Amazon.co.uk AB 1634 Official Site - California Healthy Pets Act AB 1634, the California Responsible Pet Ownership Act, is a common sense law to help combat pet overpopulation and bites. The law will allow law enforcement to target roaming dogs and cats, prevent unplanned litters and reduce attacks. The law requires that a dog or cat to be spayed or neutered, if the animal meets one of the following criteria: The dog or cat is repeatedly impounded by animal control or cited for being at large. The dog or cat is repeatedly cited for being unlicensed as required by current law. AB 1634 is humane and protects our pets. Overpopulation of domestic animals forces local animal control agencies in California to euthanize more than half a million dogs and cats every year. AB 1634 will save taxpayers millions of dollars. Local animal control agencies in California are forced to spend over $250 million taxpayer dollars every year to collect, control and euthanize the state's unwanted overpopulation of cats and dogs.

Adopt a pet on Petfinder Maneki Neko A maneki-neko figurine The maneki-neko (Japanese: 招き猫?, literally "beckoning cat") is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman), usually made of ceramic in modern times, which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—often at the entrance—in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. Maneki-neko come in different colors, styles, and degrees of ornateness. Common features[edit] The gesture[edit] Sometimes both paws are raised, though this is unusual To some Westerners (Italians and Spaniards are notable exceptions) it may seem as if the maneki-neko is waving rather than beckoning.[1][2] This is due to the difference in gestures and body language recognized by some Westerners and the Japanese. Maneki-neko can be found with either the right or left paw raised (and sometimes both). Colors[edit] Collar, bib and bell[edit] The coin[edit]
