Your pet is dreaming about you … Scientists say that all mammals have similar attributes, one of those being that they have dreams. That’s right, our cats and pups enter into a REM sleep cycle too, just like us, and chances are they dream about the things that happen to them every day. So it’s likely they dream about you! Unfortunately, that also means that pets can have nightmares, too. If you ever notice your pet in what looks to be a nightmare, try not to startle them awake. Just like us, they want to be woken up gently!
Speaking of pets … A new survey of pet owners found that they would dump their partner if they didn’t accept the way they treated their pet. 50% of those surveyed said if a partner didn’t agree with their “pet care philosophies” – like letting their dog sleep in bed with them or get on the furniture – then they would end the relationship.
