50 Possessive Pets Who Made Their Owners Feel Like The Third Wheel

Despite the occasional mess and tendencies of unruliness, living with a furry friend is still an enjoyable experience. In fact, most, if not all, pet owners even treat their animals as family members. In a similar way, pets reciprocate this unconditional love by staying loyal to their owners. And while there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, it’s also no secret that possessive pets can be a problem at times. In fact, sometimes, it even comes to a point where they don’t want other people getting close to their favorite humans—not even their partners!

“My cat absolutely adores my boyfriend.”

“I was in another room and I heard my BF explaining a game to someone, by his voice he was really excited about it, but there was no one else in the apartment. When I went back to the room, this is what I saw.”

There has been a long-standing debate on animals’ capacity to think and feel. According to Lynne James, a veterinarian at PDSA, UK’s leading vet charity, animals also experience the same range of emotions as humans. These include excitement, happiness, love, as well as distress and fear among many others.

 

“They pick up on moods, emotions, and pheromones produced by people and other animals. By responding to these and acting accordingly, they are reacting with empathy, but this will definitely apply to some pets more than others.”

 

Be it at the dining table or even in bed, it’s clear that these possessive pets won’t allow anyone near their favorite humans—not even their significant others!

So, it’s important for fur parents to fulfil the needs of their fur babies, especially their need for attention and love. In addition, the PDSA vet also stressed the importance of socializing with our furry friends.

 

“A sociable animal won’t thrive in life if their need for companionship isn’t met. How many of us humans have struggled with lockdown? We’re sociable creatures and the lack of social interaction has meant that lots of us are finding things hard, but can you imagine if we had to live like this permanently? We wouldn’t want to inflict that on our sociable pets either.”
