 The Virgo pet is by nature extremely neat, clean and tidy. Everything the Virgo animal does...from walking, eating, drinking and sleeping to caring for his or her bed, blanket, pillow and toys...is done in a very orderly, meticulous and quiet fashion.
Indeed, an owner may not even be aware that the Virgo pet is around the majority of the time. Virgo pets do not ask for much from an owner, only some nutritious food...and they are quite finicky about what they eat...and a comfortable place to rest when they are not busy putting away their toys or straightening their beds. Virgo pets always have to be occupied with doing something. If not, they tend to feel helpless and bored.
The pet ruled by this Sign should be given practical activities as often as possible...being taught a new trick that can be useful such as bringing in the newspaper, for example, or switching on the lights when it gets dark. Virgo animals are extremely intelligent, very quick to learn and are blessed with a magnificent memory. No matter what is taught to the self-sufficient Virgo pet, an owner will never have to worry about the lesson being forgotten.
Animals ruled by this Zodiac Sign are more than delighted to be of service to an owner...whatever that owner wishes will be the Virgo pet's command. Virgo is inherently the Sign of service, so it will be this creature's natural tendency to desire to follow through with anything that is asked of him or her. Indeed, the motto of a Virgo pet is probably best described as, "eager to please."
Yet, the creature governed by Virgo can be somewhat ornery, since the energy associated with this Sign can make both its human and animal natives rather cranky. In the case of a Virgo pet, this could manifest itself in the propensity to snap or become annoyed over trivial things. This is not necessarily typical behavior of the Virgo animal, but it does surface from time to time. If a pet does display this type of conduct, then it would be best for an owner to simply write it off as a harmless idiosyncrasy. For the most part, the Virgo animal will probably behave like an angel...always anxious to comply with an owner's wishes and do his or her best to not get in anybody's way.
Virgo pets are inherently very clean souls, constantly grooming themselves and maintaining relatively neat surroundings, but an owner should be prepared help out when and where needed. The hutch of the Virgo rabbit should be cleaned regularly so that he or she has a litter box with fresh shavings at all times. The Virgo bird's water and food containers should always be freshly filled and the cage maintained to expected standards of tidiness.
Of course, all pets' things should be clean and well taken care of, but the Virgo animal is particularly picky in this regard and will let an owner know...in some manner...if everything is not in order.
Since the Sign of Virgo rules the intestines and the nervous system, particular care should be taken with the food consumed by a Virgo pet. Yogurt or acidophilus may be offered on occasion, since the live cultures in these food items will keep the sensitive innards of a Virgo animal functioning smoothly and regularly. Dogs, cats and rabbits alike generally adore acidophilus and/or yogurt and so, is beneficial to the diets of these animals.
However, a veterinarian should be consulted prior to giving these foods to any other species. It is not uncommon for the Virgo pet to become somewhat edgy or agitated every so often...especially when he or she has nothing to do. Deprive the Virgo animal of an agenda, and he or she will expend an abundance of nervous energy doing nothing...except possibly chewing on whatever is handy and/or being testy with an owner or other household pets.
The Virgo pet also requires plenty of sleep. No other Zodiac Sign...with the possible exception of Gemini...needs as much sleep as does the Virgo animal. To a Virgo pet, slumber is akin to the oil that prevents his or her nervous system from getting rusty. It is important not to become offended if the Virgo animal seems a tad more independent than the owner might prefer. As much as this animal desires to please, he or she also expects some free time alone. Hence, an owner should not be concerned if the Virgo pet selects a clean but remote corner to take an afternoon nap, or to simply sit back and relax while observing all the action from afar. This is the method by which the Virgo animal recharges his or her delicate system in order to be bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and faithfully ready to serve...with that characteristically unerring Virgo precision and unending devotion.
