This is what I mean dongle. We don't do that very much to each other do we, yet we do it to our pets so naturally.
I can easily see why that poll said 80% admitted showing more affection to their pets than their humans.

Re: Showing affection to pets
Having had 7 dogs 3 cats 2 horses 3 donkeys all at thesame time l did notice my dear wife showed more concern
for the animals if they were sick or injured, than she did for
me in the same situation, when she would say,do something
about it then!
I rest my case.
We loved all our animals equally & they all reciprocated in
different way's, l suppose they have different languages.
Best Regards, Donkeyman.

feel a little neglected sometimes Mups.

The answer to the problem is dont say hello!

My goats were like that with latches and bolts, so I know what you mean. They'd fiddle about with their lips then slide all the bolts open.
I support the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. There are so many abused ones that have lives of hell, aren't there.
BTW, I don't believe a word of it when you say you felt neglected at times.
