"Is your pet overprotective?"

My Shadow has been guarding me every day. Whenever I go to certain spots, he always comes along with me. Literally, he is like my shadow. Either, he will sit beside me or sit on my lap. I felt like being guarded all the time. Well, I don’t think it is bad. It showed how loyal my pet is. In fact, I never had a pet who is so clingy and sweet. “Does your pet always on guard of you?” Image Credit: Shavkat

I think most of the pets are over protected because they know our weak points and they know how to exploit them! Thanks!

I agree. If they look at us with a cute gesture, it needs to give them a very delicious food.

You know that I have no pets, but the cats of my neighbor follows me as soon as I go outside. He is jealous if I try to pet other cats.

I think the cat wants you to be her own personal friend.

Wow! You have a lot of doggies there. But I do think that dogs are really overprotective to their masters.

@ridingbet In the family, it is my mom and I love having dogs in the house. My late father's dog "Putot" is the only left dog. I sometimes hear my mom talked to her every day.

Hachiko was a sweet dog but she is not like that. I think Shadow is not guarding you, I think Shadow just want to get close to you every day,

Uhm I forgot to write about Shadow's sister. Mousy often goes to me if she is hungry. Thus, Shadow usually fights with her. Is he not protective or selfish?lol

@Shavkat Shavkat, sometimes my cat appears if I am somewhere or sometimes she doesn't. I believe she likes to be where I am at times, but, I do not believe that she is overprotective towards me.

My cat Athena is very protective. She follows me everywhere and sometimes I have to watch my step. She'll get underfoot very quickly. She sleeps beside me in bed and she lays on the arm of the sofa when I'm napping on it. She loves to jump up on my lap when I'm busy doing other things. She is my baby and I am hers. :-)

Shadow does the same thing. He likes jumping to my lap. However. we need to be careful while walking with them. We might fall for stepping on them.

I think it can work for cats if they are a bit over protective. Dogs not so much. My old German Shepherd might have been a bit to protective of us and his home, so always had to keep a close eye because he could turn really aggressive on a dime if he saw or felt something he did not like.

I do agree that some dogs tend to be aggressive. That's the reason why I prefer to have a mixed breed.

What an adorable cat. My Sid is very independent but if he doesn't see me for awhile he will take a look where I am. Before I go to bed he makes sure we are in the room together and so on. After all I am all he has.

I also find it cool seeing them around. When I am having coffee this morning, Shadow sat beside me and feeling my presence.
