There are many permutations of petting and heavy petting does no necessarily mean we need to go down to the local RSPCA and adopt a Rhinoceros.
We can pet a cat or kitten, a dog or puppy, keep it simple, start small.
If one has no place to house an animal or is not permitted to do so in the terms of a lease, there is an alternative, don’t despair.
An organisation has been set up especially to cater for those who wish to protect but can’t pet.
P. E. T. A.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
So, don’t feel as though you are not permitted to be part of a universal organisation of people who can PET with pity and no need for Kitty Litter or **** Scoops.
