 it should be normal to play with other people's animals and the fact that it
 isn't is because some people don't know how to handle the family horse [er,
 hang out with a dog without being super bored] [play fetch with a cat] etc.

 my cat doesn't know that my family is my family. She thinks they're just some
 other people who visit the house.
 
 but they're special to me, as all people are, and I think she takes notice.

 Every time you see the same dog being dog-sat by another person it's an
 opportunity to make a new friend.
 
 or do you not know your apartment neighbors? do they not wander through your
 shared yards?
 
 the ones with dogs, at least.
 
 and no, I don't know many of my neighbors.
 
 these are considerations to be taken note of for future forethought planning.

 people usually pet animals either too hard, or too soft. When you get to know
 them, animals tend to respond to affection most accurately when it corresponds
 to something they know how to measure, within the most acceptable tolerances.

 why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
 computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
 read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
 a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
 who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.
