What kinds of household pets are common around the world?
Not all people own dogs and cats. While many Europeans, including the British, French, and Italians, own dogs and cats, other people have different relationships to them.
Why does my cat arch its back?
Like meowing and purring, a cat’s arching back is part of its complex body language system, usually associated with feeling threatened.
Why do dogs bark?
Dogs bark to communicate with other dogs and with humans. Dogs are descendants of wolves, which are social animals that live in packs, and they share many of the behaviors that define the complex relationships that exist within such animal groups.
