 The Cancer pet is sensitive to the phases of the Moon. Animals governed by Cancer are also influenced by the "day of the Moon," which is Monday.
On this day of the week, Cancer pets may appear more depressed than normal...possibly more "whiny" or needy of an owner's attention, especially if the Monday in question happens to fall on a Full Moon. Under such circumstances, it will be necessary for an owner to be particularly sensitive and aware of the animal's intense mood swings.
In essence, no demands should be made upon the Cancer pet during this time since he or she cannot be expected to respond favorably. With the exception of animals governed by the Sign of Pisces, those creatures ruled by Cancer will be the most emotional and sensitive of souls. Indeed, even pets who are not born under this Zodiac Sign tend to be somewhat influenced by the Moon's phases.
The Cancer pet is otherwise a very caring animal, given to regular licking, cooing and cuddling...but he or she will also require an abundance of affection from an owner. These creatues must be provided with as much love and tenderness as possible. However, it needs to be a special type of attention, very different from that given to any other Sign. Cancer pets need plenty of quiet time...massages, kisses and an abundance of reassurance that they are truly adored.
These are extremely needy creatures on an emotional level and such should not be taken lightly. Being so sensitive by nature, the animal governed by Cancer will quickly pick up any resentment or anger the owner may be harboring. In short, Cancer pets require constant emotional gratification and are far too "clingy" and needy to belong in a household where the inhabitants are seldom home. These are animals who are far happier knowing that the owner is close by...just in case they feel the need for an occasional gesture of reassurance that they are safe and, more importantly, that they are loved.
The Cancer pet must be spoken to in a gentle fashion and they must be showered with lots of tender, loving care. While on the subject of showers, these animals probably would not be adverse to indulging in a bath or shower every now and again. Cancer is ruled by the element of Water, and any chance these creatures get to go swimming, take a leisurely run along the beach, or maybe even indulge in a shower or bath would greatly delight pets governed by this Zodiac Sign.
The Cancer pet will likely thoroughly enjoy the company of other animals...particularly of the younger variety. Cancer animals (regardless of species or gender) possess a strong maternal instinct. If there are no younger creatures for the older Cancer animal to nurture, then he or she should be provided with a small, stuffed animal to care for.
Since the Sign of Cancer rules the stomach, extra special attention should be paid to the food given to a Cancer pet. The diet needs to be carefully watched to ensure that he or she is provided with the most balanced and nutritious foods available. These animals are especially vulnerable to ulcers, upset tummies, vomiting and many other disorders that can adversely affect the alimentary canal and stomach area. Cancer animals prefer to stay at home, so there should be little if any trouble keeping them indoors. As long as the owner is in residence and these pets feel well taken care of and loved, then everything in the world of these animals is complete. However, during a Full Moon, these seemingly innocent creatures can turn into somewhat hellish beings.
