| description | The relationship between the pet and it's owner is a very important and interesting
issue. Unfortunately there is not so much research on this and in addition to that
Swedish veterinarian education does not put much emphasis on pet's role in society
or their pattern of behaviour nor treatment. This thesis is based on an opinion poll
that 20 dog owners and 20 cat owners contributed. The main purpose of the thesis
was to compare the relationships that the pet (dog or cat) and its owner can have.
The issues such as the pet owner's attitude to his/her pet, how the pet owner
percieves and interprets the signals from the animal, and what they think about the
natural behaviours and needs that their pets (might) have.
The results show that dog- and cat owners are people who generally love animals,
that they used to have even other animal species in the past, but when it comes to
choice between a new dog or a new cat they choose the one that they previously
have had and that they are used to. Most of a dog owners choose the dog to be their
pet because of the company while the majority of a cat owners choose cat because
cats are independent and they are used to cats. Both dog- and cat owners have a
close and emotional relationship to their pet, but the results show that cat owners
find this issue even more important. Dogs influence their owners rather physically
while in the cats' case, the owners are influenced psychologically. A dog owners'
social life becomes richer since they meet new people thanks to their pet, while
owning a cat can lead both to positive and negative contacts with people. |

Relationen mellan djurägare och deras djur är ett mycket viktigt och aktuellt ämne, men tyvärr finns det inte mycket forskning om detta. Undervisningen om djurens roll i samhället, djurs beteende, samt behandling av problembeteenden är också mycket begränsad. Den här undersökningen är en enkätstudie som tjugo hundägare och tjugo kattägare har deltagit i. Syftet med undersökningen var att jämföra hundoch kattägare i deras relation till sitt djur, t.ex. deras attityd till sitt djur, hur de tolkar sitt djurs signaler gentemot dem själva, samt hur de ser på djurets naturliga beteende och behov. Av resultatet framgick att de flesta hundägarna väljer hund som husdjur på grund av sällskapet och majoriteten av kattägarna väljer katt på grund av att det är ett självständigt djur och för att de är vana vid katter. Både hund- och kattägare har ett nära och känslomässigt förhållande till sitt djur, men kattägare har enligt studien en ännu närmare relation till sitt djur än vad hundägare har. Hundarna har vidare en större fysisk påverkan på sina ägare än katter, men katterna har en större psykisk påverkan på sina ägare. Hundägarna får fler positiva nya kontakter tack vare sin hund och ökar på så sätt sitt sociala nätverk, medan kattägare får både positiva och negativa nya kontakter på grund av sin katt. Studien visade också att hund- och kattägare är människor som generellt tycker om djur och som över lag har haft flera olika djurslag, men när det gäller att skaffa ett nytt djur så verkar djurägare föredra det djurslag (hund eller katt) som han eller hon har haft förut och är vana vid.
