It's cause the bonding hormone Oxytocin which is released when we interact with our kids is the same one released when we interact with pets or even romantic partners (which is probably why some couples talk to each other in a soppy, childish way). Also some pet owners can't have or don't want children so pets obviously get that focus and attitude that would otherwise go towards their kids.

This has been your regularly scheduled :biotruths: post.

Also my dog is 14 so he’s not my baby. He’s my teenage son, but he’s geriatric so he’s really my little old man and I love him

I act like my dog is my dad. He doesn't say much, but we watch the ball game whenever I visit. He likes corona beer and his couch.

Just mostly ignore your pets other than fulfilling only their most basic needs and call them only by their names with no inflection or emotion, just like you do with human kids

My cat just waits outside of the shower to slurp up all that warm salty shower water. Then she sits in it. Then she goes and shits and I clean it up and call her my most beautiful lovely daughter and tell her about the handsome dowry shell bring on the day she attracts an eligible suitor.

When I was younger I had a German Shepherd that wouldn't drink Corona, only Pacifico. That's my dog story hope you liked it.

These people probably have deep emotional problems and deserve empathy, OP. Maybe save the hate for those who view their pets as a lover

what about people who make a social media account for their pets and then write insane first-person captions from the perspective of a three-pound dog

are we allowed to bite and/or kick them

These people probably need the social correction of reasonable mockery, or else we allow nobody to notice that's a severe cry for help

I think that's part of why the idea of "fur baby"/"cat/dog mommy" weirds me out so much. I am specifically not a mother of any kind.

Also, that fake childish "doggo" language might be the most annoying thing on the entire internet.

Mooey Cow posted:

Agreed OP it's weird and bad that they do that. Your dog is not your son or daughter, it's your dog. Reminds me of the people that call their lovers "daddy" or "mommy".

Ugh, yeah, "daddy" is gross.

it's pretty weird and off-putting but it doesn't really matter unless it goes as far as animal abuse. taking dogs for walks without actually letting them walk is deeply hosed up. there is a whole category for pet strollers on amazon!

I cringe when I pick any of our animals up from the vet and the vet tech is all "your daddy is here to take you home!" in a cutesy voice. Like wtf it's a cat in a cardboard box she doesn't give a gently caress.
Or I just paid you to stick a finger in the dog's rear end. He's just happy he doesn't feel the need to scoot anymore.
