Does anyone else treat their pets like their babies/family?

My boyfriend and I have a cat and he is our FurryBaby. We love him with all our heart and would do anything to make sure he is happy and safe. My maternal emotions are so strong with our cat. I was just wondering if anyone else feels this strongly about their pets too? I hope some people do, haha!

Cats are about the size of an infant, they meow like a baby cries, and they relate to their human friends as if they were the cat's mother. (Dogs relate to their human friend as if the human were the pack's alpha dog). Maternal feelings are natural with cats.

@greenmountaingal: This cannot be more true haha! My cat always kneads me and according to the internet that's the cat relating to trying to knead milk from it's mother or something? Also, I watched a documentary that spoke about the baby cries as well. They're so interesting right?

Although I love dogs too and hope my boyfriend and I are able to get one soon. We've been talking about bringing a dog into the family for a long while.
