It is important to understand that each animal has its own character and preferences.

There is also a big difference between the most popular types of pets – cats and dogs.

For example, a dog likes to be petted everywhere except its tail and paws, while a cat prefers to be petted only from above, and not always.

Let's try to understand how to properly express your love for animals.

What to look out for
