This is a quiz from Bayer about what kind of pet house hold you live in. Read the article below and leave a comment on the Bayer website.
I would have to say that I would mostly be a B cat owner, my cat lives in the garage, as he does not like our Jack Russell. We love Aussie our cat, but he has to fit into our busy household with 3 children, and two dogs. Aussie now mostly lives in our front garden and comes in of a night time to the garage. The best thing about this is Aussie often greets me first when I drive home, I open the car door and he jumps in for a pat and a head rub.
Last night he actually came inside and sat on my lap as I watched TV. Ruff Ruff was hiding in my bedroom, so Aussie felt comfortable in the house, it was great to have a purring creature on my lap, for change than a panting one.

Obviously each of us loves our kitty dearly, and want to create the most loving home environment, yet lately, what experts are calling ‘petocracies’ are becoming more and more prevalent in Australian households. A Petocracy is a pet-run democracy…where your furry friend has equal (or sometimes more) say in the way the household is run than its human inhabitants. To find out if your home is a petocracy, take our fun, easy quiz and discover whether you’ve been usurped as ruler of your roost!
It’s bedtime. You:
a) Put your cat outside for the night
b) Send him to bed in his cat-bed in the laundry
c) Let him curl up at the foot of your bed…he’s a good foot warmer!
d) Plump up the pillow in your bed that he likes to sleep on and make sure he has most of the blankets.
Your cat’s diet consists of:
a) Dry food only
b) Mostly dry food, with other morsels as occasional treats
c) A mixture of dry and wet food, with daily treats and a specially-designed eating plan to keep him interested and fit.
d) It depends on the day of the week. He likes steak on Mondays, liver on Tuesdays, and I bake him little foie gras biscuits on Wednesday….
Regarding drinking water for your cat:
a) He knows where his bowl is, and it is always full
b) You change his water regularly to keep it fresh
c) After each drink you tip out the bowl, clean it, and refill it with purified water
d) He doesn’t like his bowl so you strategically place cups around the house and leave the bathroom tap dripping…that’s his favourite.
The rules you have for your cat are:
a) Very strict—animals need discipline otherwise they get carried away.
b) Fairly strict—he knows who is boss but sometimes gets away with things for being so cute!
c) Quite lax—he knows how to get what he wants by using his kitten charm.
d) No watching Law and Order (the theme song bothers him), no staying out past 9pm (he gets lonely) and no dogs in the house (naturally)….Oh, you meant what rules do I have for the cat….
Now for the tally…
Mostly As:
You’re from the old school, and believe that cats need to firmly know their place and respect their masters. You’re diligent in setting up boundaries for your pet and value obedience, loyalty and good behaviour. This is a perfectly acceptable attitude towards cat ownership, just remember to let your hair down and have some fun with your moggie…after all, it’s what they’re best at!
Mostly Bs:
While discipline is important to you, you recognise the importance of a pet needing to fit in with the family’s lifestyle, not the other way around. You can’t help but indulge your furry friend every once in a while and you like to be organised in your approach to having a pet.
Mostly Cs:
Your cat is an important member of your family and you consider its needs as a high priority. You work hard to ensure your pet’s happiness and probably sacrifice a lot of time to its care…which is worth it for you because of the love and affection you get back in return.
Mostly Ds:
Oh, Mostly Ds, what are we going to do with you? You’ve given complete control over to your kitty commander–whoops, sorry—companion, but we’ll forgive you because, well, we love cats too! Just make sure you try to set some boundaries, as pets do respect leadership and need to know what behaviour is acceptable.
