 The Leo pet requires a lot of attention. However, he or she will not resort to whining or gentle nudging for the needed tender, loving care...he or she demands it. For instance, in a very feline way (regardless of species), Leo animals will very subtly and seductively indicate that a tummy rub is exactly what is in order. This is achieved courtesy of eyes that are both begging and alluring, or expressed by way of body movements.
A Leo dog may, for example, convey his or her desires by behaving in a very catlike manner...swaying back and forth, coquettishly tossing the head over the shoulder while throwing an owner a distinct "come hither" look. When a Leo pet wants something...be it a pat, a treat or a walk...he or she will let an owner know in an assertive yet ingratiating fashion.
Regardless of species, the mannerisms of a Leo animal are unmistakably feline in character, but also exceedingly elegant in execution. Hence, when the pet governed by Leo desires anything, he or she will do whatever it takes to attain results...usually by putting on a magnificent performance worthy of an animal Oscar.
By nature, Leo creatures are the show-offs...the actors or actresses...of the Animal Kingdom. Leo dogs prance, Leo cats strut, Leo rabbits raise their heads in a lofty manner and Leo birds puff out their chests. In essence, the Leo pet is far from a needy soul, being very secure in his or her importance. These animals are well aware that their purpose is to protect an owner. They are fearless and fierce, but also rather conceited and possessed of a very healthy ego, which an owner would be wise not to wound.
When a Leo pet is not in the mood for something...a bath, for instance...he or she will definitely make it known. Leo animals pull no punches and have a formidable temper. Their inherent charismatic charm can be turned on and off at will and they have no problem in letting an owner know who is truly the boss. These are creatures who are capable of fighting to the death if need be. They are tenancious in everything they do and refuse to stop until they get their way.
The Leo pet requires an abundance of praise, recognition and adoration. In short, this animal wants to be showered with compliments...every trick should be applauded with superlative words and a supply of favored treats. Still, the tenacity of a Leo animal is not always necessarily negative. Indeed, there will be no pet more loyal than the one governed by this Zodiac Sign. By nature, this is an animal who will defend an owner, respect an owner and be a faithful companion for life...but it is important than any owner remember the word, "respect."
This is of paramount importance to any Leo native, whether animal or human. Of course, all living beings should be respected, but subjects of Leo will absolutely demand it. If an owner is out of line with a Leo pet, then that pet will have no qualms in expressing disapproval of such ungracious behavior. To an animal ruled by Leo, adultation, loyalty and total devotion to an owner are not unconditional...and are certainly not bestowed free of charge.
Since the Sign of Leo rules the heart, spine and back, these pets are especially vulnerable to weak hearts, heart attacks and disorders related to the back and spinal areas. Still, these are extremely hardy souls who rarely suffer major health problems, particularly when they are well taken care of. If a household contains more than one pet...and one of those pets is a Leo...it will be necessary to ensure that the Leo animal is allowed to be "leader of the pack."
If two or more animals are governed by this Sign, then there could well be a problem. By nature, Leo is a natural born leader and he or she is aware of that fact. A Leo dog makes for a magnificent watch dog, but he or she should not simply be tossed outside and left there to act as house sentry without plenty of respectful love and attention from the owner. He or she will certainly defend the post as dogmatically as he or she will defend the owner...but beneath all that bravado is a very tender heart that should not be ignored or neglected under any circumstances.
