30% of pet owners say their pets sleep in bed with them
Before my partner and I moved in together, my oldest cat would sleep with me quite often. I just hate that annoying sound of them grooming themselves while I'm trying to go to sleep. I love my cats but, I need to sleep!
30% of pet owners celebrate their pets birthdays
Of course! A new toy or pillow of catnip is always in order.
20% of pet owners have purchased outfits for their pets
I got a lion hat thing for my male cat once and that was it.
more then 30% include their pets in holiday cards
I send out generic holiday cards so this is a no for me.
17% say their pets go to work with them
I don't think anyone would appreciate terrified cats running around. I would fear for their safety as well. Another no. But, I'd love to have a large dog escort me around.
42% have taken their pets on vacation with them
The cats hate car rides, so no. I haven't been out of town on vacation since I brought my Quaker home, so maybe that's a possibility in the future.
35% have included pets in a family portrait
I don't have a family portrait. 
I'd rather have a portrait of all of them and no humans but that's not gonna happen! Three cats, a bird, and a snake... something is bound to get eaten in the process!
43% say their pets have a sense of style
They certainly do have their own little personalities! Even the fish.
I definitely see my pets as part of the family. I care about them a lot and while I don't have human children, I see my furry companions as equally important as the rest of us.
