First off, it is totally fine if you think you are a crazy cat lady or dog lover. You are not the only one. It is even more understandable that you love your pet more than your friends or your another half. People can bug you but not animal on some of your bad days. You may not realize your secret obsession with animals. If you say yes to more than half of the things listed below, you gotta admit you are an animal lover.
1. You own a pet in real life or even in your own imagination.
You have at least a dog or a cat (fish also counts) at your home and you are treating him or her as one of your family members. Even if you don't, you wish someone else's dog is your or to say, you call it your property.
2. You go crazy watching dog videos and reading their memes.
You cannot resist the cuteness and stupidness they act in the videos (at least, that's me when it comes to corgis). You cannot even hide that excitement and share those videos with your friends like a lunatic. Well, that's nothing wrong about. They made your day better, don't day?
3. You always want to hang out with that one friend that has a pet.
Don't even try to deny it. The first thing you ask and say when you hang out with that friend is either "I miss seeing your dog" or "Aww I want to play with it", and that's how you know you are a secret animal lover within your friend group.
4. Getting a pet is included in your 5 year's plan
Knowing your career path after graduation is important but it is incomplete without having your own pet in your own apartment. You don't even consider being single is relevant because a pet is what truly makes you happy.
5. Pet stores give you excitement.
Whenever you pass by a pet store, you high key want the puppies notice you through the window and would more than glad to kidnap them.
6. You feel extremely empathetic for homeless dogs and cats.
You almost burst into tears when you see them unwanted on streets or even on commercials saying they are waiting for adoption. One day, soon enough, they will be in good care in your arms.
7. The moment you hug and hold a pet makes your life complete.
Those are tears of joy. Your heart melts, how can you possibly resist from their furrinesses, big watery eyes or even lick your nose a little?
