Animals have been domesticated for a long time. People all over the world use them for different reasons. In Egypt, they had cats as their pets and their goddesses, they were valued very much. This is referenced from the cat museum. In the U.S., 75 percent of people have pets. That is over half of Americans. That information came from the ASPCA pet shelter. Pets make us feel good and joyful because they give companionship, affection and do cute and funny things. It makes sense that pets like us and make us feel good because we’ve loved them and gave them a great life to live in. To begin with, pets make us feel like we have companionship, something of our own. When we adopt them, we agree that we will care and take responsibility to them.
