RULER: Moon
ELEMENT: WaterCOLORS: Silver & Violet
KEYWORD: Security
Sensitive and rather moody, shy and very maternal. These are some of the main characteristics that make up a Cancer pet. Like the other water signs, Cancers are quite emotional so don't adopt this pet if you've got a quick temper or a noisy household. Both of these things upset them terribly. However, if you need a pet to mother and love, and want one who won't ever stray from home..Cancer is the pet for you.
Upon bringing your Cancer pet home don't expect it to take naturally to you and its new surroundings. It will probably run away and hide for a day or two. Leave some food and water out in accessible place and she'll probably sneak out at night to nibble. You will eventually have to coax her out and comfort her with hugs, kisses, and whispered nothings. Once you have gained her love and trust you shall not find a more loyal and loving animal. Nor will you ever be able to walk in a straight line again! Cancers love to rub against ankles and feet (whether they are in motion or not) when they're not being held...which they love immensely.
This is probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs. Although all water signs are sensitive, the Cancer takes things the hardest. A hurt Scorpio will simply wreak havoc on you in revenge, a hurt Pisces will simply ignore you for an hour and forget about it, whereas a hurt Cancer will retreat under a couch and peer out at you with a pained look in their eyes. You won't feel lower in your life than when those hurt Cancer eyes peer at you sadly. It is easy to hurt them, too, so always try to be patient and sweet to them. Never hit them or yell too loud. When training, do so patiently and they will train very well.
Cancers like to choose favorites. Usually the first person in the house that they warm to will be their favorite and that person will have constant affection. The Cancer pet will always want to be with their loved one. If their favorite human leaves the house, they will wait patiently for a return and greet you warmly at the door. However, if a favorite human is gone too long, a very unhappy Cancer will not even acknowledge your return.
Cancers don't like noisy people, homes, or other animals. Anything that bothers this usually sweet, loving pet could make it switch to an angry mood. Cancers are very moody so beware of sudden mood swings. These pets also love their homes and seldom wander away. They are definitely the homebodies of the zodiac.
If you can stand a little moodiness, a little shyness with strangers (this can mean hiding under a couch until guests leave), and a constant moving body to trip you every time you walk then you will also recieve a loyal, loving, sweet pet who will curl up and watch TV with you every night quite contentedly. This is the Cancer pet. How lucky you are to be their favorite.
