Ah, pets! They aren't just decorations like a comfortable chair or an ornamental dagger. Any pet owner knows that our animal friends are blessed with their own unique personalities and distinct preferences. But since pets rarely speak, we're often left guessing just what those preferences really are--and how deep they go. All too often, we mistake their silence for heterosexuality.
