Pets

Pets gather the everyday into something tender: a warm body at your feet, a watchful gaze, the small rituals of feeding, walking, waiting. Quotes in this category explore the bond between humans and the animals we invite into our homes—dogs and cats, birds, rabbits, and the odd companion that defies easy labels. You’ll find writers reflecting on loyalty and mischief, grief and gratitude, the comedy of shared habits, and the quiet lessons pets teach about attention and care. Some lines celebrate companionship as a kind of language without words; others admit the ache of short lifespans and the way a house changes after a collar goes silent. Expect affection, honesty, and sharp observation.
