Did you know? May is National Pet Month! While we’re generally partial to commemorating special occasions with cake, we decided a more feasible way to celebrate furry friends with our far-away customers was to make a list of reasons we love our pets – plus adorable photos. So, without further adieu…

• Pets are cuddly.
  A fluffy cat is essentially the equivalent of a heated blanket. And you don’t have to worry about getting too toasty – a simple scratch on the tummy will have it gone in no time.
  
• Pets don’t judge.
  Your dog is the only person (animal…no, person) who will never disapprove of you honoring a three-day weekend by lying on the couch, not showering, and binge-watching literally anything on E!.
  
• Pets keep secrets.
  Okay, so you weren’t really sick when you called into work. You weren’t actually the reason Brad & Angelina split. You can’t exactly speak French. Your cat has heard you tell many lies like these – but she’s far more likely to kill a rat than rat you out.
  
• Pets > wifi.
  Forgot to pay your internet bill? No batteries in the remote? No problem! Your pet will happily entertain you – for free – all day long. If you’re feeling particularly ambitious (and slightly cruel), just slap some booties on its paws, sit back, and start laughing.
  
• Pets don’t discriminate.
  You know when you try merging friend groups and you’re super nervous because you don’t know if everyone’s going to get along? When you’re introducing a new friend to your pup, you needn’t worry – Fido’s practically guaranteed to get along with everyone.
  

If we’re being honest, five isn’t enough – there are millions of reasons we love our pets. We’d love to hear why you love yours! Drop us a line in the comments section.
