DailyDirt: Caring For Our Pets

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

People with pets sometimes go a bit overboard when it comes to spoiling their animals. There's nothing really wrong with that, but non-pet people might question how the treatment of animals can trump the treatment of people. Here are just a few pet-related stories to ponder. If you'd like to read more awesome and interesting stuff, check out this unrelated (but not entirely random!) Techdirt post.

    Cats are the worst. I remember reading an article that said they'll tune their "meow" to the same frequency of an infant's crying (if you have one) so that you'll pay attention to them.
