Hey Pandas, it's me again (I know, I know). This time I’m wondering how your pet is dealing with you being home all the time. Are they trying to avoid you, or simply staring at you in confusion? How has being home with your pet changed their attitude and behavior?
Post your story and don’t forget to add a picture of your pet!

I think my presence is disrupting the regular midday poker game he usually runs while I'm at school.
On another note, my guinea pig is currently wearing crocheted bunny ears.

I feel like I’m prisoner in my own head. I only have this to do instead. On another note, my dog who is in her 50’s or 60’s just sneezed and only basically eats twice a day, sleeps and rests all day, walks around our local lake, and loves us unconditionally even though she has leg and hip problems due to age I think and other stuff. Her tail’s waggin, me in a chair is saggin’.

My 16-year-old cat has enjoyed having a lap to sleep on for much of the day, and a human to give him chin scratches.
His kidneys started failing last week - my boyfriend and I will be saying goodbye to him forever.
I’m glad that we got to spend so much time with him these last 6 weeks.

My cat learned to be way more meow-explicit. He became extremely talkative! And my lady cat developed an allergy to blossoming thingies and she sneezes :D Generally they were confused at first, now they are terrified when I go out with trash. I'm afraid of how they will take us disappearing back to work... :x We will have to adjust them by daily go-outs!

Sophie the AussieDoodle loves quarantine! Both of us home all the time! petting on demand! Dance (running in circles and jumping straight up) for joy when she sees she's going out is evolving into a routine! What fun when our daughter delivers our groceries with one of her children!
At first she was anxious, constantly checking where we were in the duplex apartment. And if we were on different floors, couldn't relax until we were together.
Now it's the new normal for her. (For us, a source of laughter, company and reassurance...nice to have in your 70's and 80's.)

First of all it’s pets, plural. Three cats, one dog, and a dead fish. My two year old Australian Labradoodle is going crazy over how much attention he’s getting. My oldest cat just turned seven as of yesterday. My six year old cats are doing fine, and they all seem to be loving all the attention they are getting. Except for the dead fish, of course.

Sadly, I don't have a pet, but I do want to encourage others to adopt pets at this time of struggle. On the other hand, two of my friends are getting miniature golden doodles!
EDIT: I have a brother. I think that counts.

I have a husky named Reese (like the candy). since she's a husky she's usually dramatic.She has been so confused why everyone is at home all day instead of at work or at school, I think she likes all the attention she's getting.Reese loves cuddling with me,playing in the backyard and singing Opera.She is currently acting like a lap dog.

Every time I walk through my home office (where the fish tank is) my fish stares at me like WHERE FOOD ME LIKE FOOD because everyone is home more, and feeding him more. I think he'll need a new tank after quarantine, he's getting so huge.

My dog unlike others hates nature. No, like a lot. To the point where she won’t walk on grass. She also hates moving. She is pretty content with this quarantine thing. Really enjoys staying on the couch for 12 hours straight.

I have 3 cats with me during this quarantine...
The first one thinks it's hilarious to stare at my food and steal it thinking I don't see him.
The second one thinks the sink is more comfortable than the bed I bought him, but he loves the catnip fish!
And finally, the third one sleeps and talks to the mailman and enjoys their conversations about the newest Amazon package.
But I would not have it any other way. Love them all!!

My Australian Labradoodle is annoyed because she can't see her friends as often. However, she gets lots of cuddle time when the other 5 members of the family decide to take a nap. She has been photobombing my school conference calls and started barking when my math teacher's dog started barking. She also has eaten 2 chicken breasts, a pint of homemade ice cream (made with dry ice), and 3 loaves of bread. Arya has taken to licking my feet for whatever reason, and she had LOTS of fun trying to play with us while we were mulching. (She kept on sitting on the beds right where we were trying to work.) Then, once we were done with the front beds, she saw a bunny run across the lawn and went sprinting after it, spreading freshly mulched mulch everywhere...

My dog loves getting attention all day, and the pigeon is probably happier because, since I'm home, I can keep his cage clean, and give him what ever he needs all day. Also, the pigeon might be a little bit mad, because, we are around all the time, bothering him. I think the pigeon will be a little friendlier by the end of quarantine.

We're retired , so not a big change, we are self isolating so more deliveries but he barely reacts now. He knows the mailman & regular grocery guy but people in the street (so unusual now) & he goes nuts.
