Too much of a good thing?

Let’s  face it; it’s difficult not to love animals. Be it their soft fluffy bodies, the way they move about or the way they seem to own you when you open your home to them: pets make life worth living.
After coming home at the end of a day that seemed longer than 24 hours and more complicated than solving a five block Rubik’s cube, there they are, ready to hug the worry out of us. Pets are amazing and they deserve every little bit of love they get.
It all starts going a bit wonky when we slowly turn crazy. It starts quite simple, like talking in baby voices with your pet: carrying actual meaningful conversations with your budgerigar or trying to cut a deal with your kitty if she lets you sleep peacefully in the morning.
Then it gets into including titbits of their daily activities into conversations because maybe your dentist needs to hear the story about when your dog almost picked up the phone because he was sleeping on it. And just when you think you are not really very crazy, there you are, holding your cat so it can Skype with another cat, because that’s the most logYes, Fluffles the rabbit is the cutest thing on the planet, but whether she needs eight sets of clothes is probably the question they’d ask to test your sanity. In that note, it might not be such a great idea to put make up on them either. An alarming number of people seem to believe otherwise.
Your house guests don’t like animals? It might not be in anyone’s best interest to carry your fur-balls to them so they realise how amazing animals really are. Suddenly being terrorised by a grumpy pet isn’t going to make them realise their love, nor is your pet going to like you more for waking it up from sleep.
All these are fine and dandy until you go too far though, because no matter how your brain might try to justify, it’s not cool when you start calling your four kilogram cats as ‘your babies’ and ‘meow’ them on the phone so they take their afternoon siesta.
Yes, it would have been more acceptable if they were little kittens, or better yet, actual human babies. Don’t get us wrong, they are still adorable and possibly smarter than majority of our countrymen, yet they still are tiny tigers, and not your babies, and probably should not be mentioned in maternity classes.
Pets are great, and let them stay that way. They don’t need a whiff of your crazy and you’re good to go.ical course of action, right?
