There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most countries, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In some countries, however, people treat their pets like members of their own families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and delicious food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, they sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, mittens and hats for pets.
    In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets.  It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. On the menu, there is a variety of special tasty dishes for the dogs to choose from.
    In the United States, there is a very rich cat, who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat received one hundred thousand dollars when his owner died. In addition, the owner left Kitty Cat a beautiful house to live in. There is a person who comes to the house every day to feed and take care of Kitty Cat.
    Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don’t live in such wealth and luxury. There is a more practical and functional attitude toward pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have some affectionate feeling for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn’t any special clothing, or jewelry, or gourmet food for these animals. There aren’t any special restaurants for the dogs. There are no rich cats who live in large and beautiful houses.
    Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.
