Many of us count our pets among our best friends, but have you ever wondered how deep the spiritual connection between you and your pet may be?
Have you noticed how your pet always seems to know when you're upset? Or how your cat always seems to be waiting for you when you get home? Or your dog has his leash in his mouth when you've just thought of taking him for a walk? Well, maybe you've got a closer relationship than you ever realized.
Extra-Sensory Pets?
Scientists have long been divided on the question of animal ESP. Skeptics believe that animals react to your behavior and therefore seem to be reading your mind, but many eminent scientists would disagree.
Parapsychologists have argued that pets telepathically receive information from the thoughts of their owners. Next time you find your cat in the fridge, perhaps it's actually because they read your mind about the sliver of salmon you left in there!
Becoming closer to your pets -- Do you choose your pets simply because their features are familiar?
People are often said to look like their pets. Is this coincidence, an example of how you're attracted to what seems familiar, or is there more to it? Some researchers think that it's all in your genes. They examined dogs' genomes and discovered that 75% had a human equivalent. This possibly helps to explain why dogs have always been man's best friend.
A MATTER OF CHOICE: It could be that you set out to buy an Afghan hound that mirrors your own luscious locks or a cat whose aloof coolness reflects your own attitude to life -- or perhaps there's a deeper connection that has yet to be discovered. What's most important is that your pet becomes an important part of your family, whatever they look like, and that you grow closer as you spend more time together.
