Men, listen up! Women who own pets are more inclined to date or marry a man who also owns a pet.
But before you run out and get a dog or cat, know this: Fully 56 percent of women say their pets are more affectionate than their partners. That's the startling conclusion of a BizRate Research survey of 901 pet owners. Hey, that's not all! About 45 percent of women say their pets are cuter than their partners.
When it comes to pets, women spoil them. Big time. In this study, women said they had a deeper emotional connection with their pets than men did. Fully 99 percent of the women acknowledged that they frequently talked to their pets, versus 95 percent of men, and an astonishing 93 percent of women think that their pets communicate with them, versus 87 percent of men. "The most loving thing we can do for our pets is to understand them better and learn their language," Jackie Hakim, founder, Healing Arts Dog Training, said in a news release announcing the study findings. "Our furry friends come wired in a certain way and being considerate of that can be the building block to a successful relationship."
This is how much we love our pets: Approximately seven in 10 pet owners report their pets make them happier than their jobs. And that translates into dollars. Pet owners are spending big bucks on all-natural dog food, sweaters, diamond-studded collars, booties, doggy day care, dog ophthalmologists, spas, and endless other goods and services. Women are inclined to spend about $50 to $100 a month, somewhat more than men are willing to spend.
This is odd: Fully one-third of pet owners would consider taking their pet to a pet psychic, groomer, or therapist. "While the majority of my clients are women, more pet owners are seeking deeper relationships with their animals," said pet psychic Patrice Ryan, Celestial Crystals, Inc. "The difference is, men come to me for more critical situations such as a lost or sick pet. Women want to know if their pet is happy and comfortable."
