- All pets need water. Cats should be given water to drink (not milk).
- Pets need a safe home to live.
- You need to brush cats and dogs often.
- Animals need to be loved.
- Cats use an indoor bathroom while dogs go outside.
- If you want to pat a dog that you see on the street. You must ask its owner for permission before touching the dog.
