Pet humanization

Pet humanization is a form of anthropomorphism in which pets, typically animals kept for companionship such as dogs, cats and even smaller animals like rabbits or hamsters, are treated more like human family members than traditional pets.[1] This trend of pet culture involves providing pets with a higher level of care, attention and often even luxury, similar to the way humans are treated.[2]

The phenomenon of pet humanization is where pets are kept for companionship that are treated, cared for and valued in a manner that mirrors the way humans are treated within a family or social context. It involves attributing human-like qualities, emotions and needs to pets and providing them with care, attention and comforts similar to those given to human family members. In a pet-humanized context, pets are often regarded as beloved members of the family, rather than just animals or possessions.

It is important to note that pet humanization can have both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, it reflects a deep love and care for animals and can lead to improved welfare and well-being for pets. However, it can potentially lead to unrealistic expectations, anthropomorphism and overlooking the unique needs and behaviors of different species.

Overall, pet humanization is a complex and evolving cultural shift that reflects the evolving role of pets in modern society and the deep emotional connections people form with their animal companions.

Can seeing pets in human terms be helpful?
Seeing pets or objects as human-like could help fulfill a social need, some scientists propose. Some research suggests that people who are lonelier or who tend to feel more worry or sensitivity about social relationships are somewhat more inclined to attribute certain human-like features (such as emotions) to their pets.

Can anthropomorphism cause misunderstandings?
Yes. Non-human animals share many mental faculties with humans. But the tendency to read animals based on human ways of thinking and behaving could lead people to exaggerate the similarities and misunderstand the meaning of animal behavior—or even project their own personality characteristics onto animals.
