Would you date your pet? 🐶

You love your pet…but how much?

There’s a trend where people use A.I. to see what their cat or dog would look like as a human…so MetLife Pet Insurance asked pet owners if they would date them if they were HUMAN!

Many of us would…a third said “Yes”…but most said “Nope”…40% wouldn’t do it.

Why not?

Some people said no based solely on looks…you may love your orange tabby but not be into redheads.

Most, though, cited how high-maintenance they are:

  • They need constant attention
  • They’re too clingy
  • Not great with boundaries
  • Easily jealous or territorial
  • Too moody or temperamental

At least you’d save on litter!
