Kun, I have never been scared of these pets, but bit scared of lizards. Although Most of the time I play with some road dogs too. They too love me to play with them. Why we need to be scared of these pets when we are ruling this world, without sharing with them. Atleast let us share our love with them.

Well I guess it depends on the nature of the company's business or the company's rules and the type of individuals or officemates and superiors you have.
But in relation to the company I'm working with for nearly four years now, we have never encountered anyone (pet owner, pet lover, or otherwise) who brought any pet in the workplace. It is not explicitly included and prohibited in the office's code of conduct but somehow, I feel that it is an unwritten rule.
No offense meant but eventhough you definitely love your pets, I don't think it's appropriate to bring them there; either for the welfare of your pets and your officemates. People may be shy to say it but they might be allergic to these furry friends of yours or they dislike them. Another point, I think that bringing them in a place outside their comfort zone would also make your pets uneasy.
Like you, I also love dogs and cats but personally, I don't have any pet mainly because we still don't have our own house and lot. At present, we are renting an apartment here in the city. But hopefully, my spouse and I will be able to buy our own property and eventually, take care of pets. Our three year old daughter is also fond of playing with cats which pass by the house.

I guess that would depend on the type of business you had, the image you were trying to project, whether or not there was room for pets and whether or not anyone in your workplace was allergic. There is a lot to consider when taking pets to work. But I would love to have my furbabies with me at work. I have two cats, Ashley (my avatar) and Carlye.

You too have a very nice cat. Ya you are right in the case of alergics. But most of the people like cats infact and most of the people have Dogs at thier home. So why we should not have cats at work place too. What will happen if we share love with animals nothings wrong in that. Human doesnt own this earth, all other animals have thier rights over this planet. Isnt'it..?

Maybe if you work in a pet store. But most places, it would just be a distraction and not appropriate.
I have 3 cats, Tiger, Sunshine and Oreo. Also 3 goldfish, no names!

I would love my Garfield and my Fifi stay at the office.Both are persian cats.You can check all my pics in my profile or you can actually see my cats in my avatar.But I will be afraid to lose them if they will just freely roam within the vicinity.I will lose my mind if one of them will be there when I check them out.

Thats very nice of you to see the love towards your pets. Also you Garfield is so cute and sweet. Keep loving animals share love to them because no one else will be there to them if we dont share our love towards them. Thanks For posring your feelings. It will be nice if you accept my friends request.
