Ever wondered why your cat acts as if they’re the master of the universe or your dog seems to know your every emotion? The answer could be written in the stars. As with humans, pets of different zodiac signs possess distinct behavior patterns that will allow you to understand their particular needs and preferences. They crave attention, tricks for treats, and possess a born sense of style.
From coping with a drama queen Leo cat to an obstinate Taurus dog, pet astrology gives you a playful glimpse into what drives your pet.
Fire Signs: The Active Performers (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Aries pets (March 21 – April 19) are born to lead and charge headfirst into everything. These confidence-inspiring pets like to be first, first to the food bowl, first out the door, first to greet visitors. Your Aries pet probably takes the initiative for play and isn’t afraid to demand attention when they want it.
Leo pets (July 23 – August 22) are drama queens and kings of the animal kingdom. They crave attention, love, and treats, and have a natural sense of style. Let your Leo cat pose for the camera, or your Leo dog walk like he is on a catwalk.
Sagittarius creatures (Nov 22 – Dec 21) are wild souls that love to travel into new territories.
Sagittarius pets are curious by nature, always exploring new smells, ears open for new noises, and sniffing about new rooms. They’re the ones who’ll get you out for longer walks and express genuine excitement about car trips to new places.

Earth Signs: The Loyal Comfort Seekers (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Taurus pets (April 20 – May 20) are pleasure animals who love the finer things in life. They love luxury, the softest blankets, the best treats, and the most comfortable places to sleep. They are very loyal but can be stubborn when their routine is broken.
Virgo animals (August 23 – September 22) are perfectionists of the animal zodiac. They like clean living spaces and tend to develop very particular habits. Your Virgo animal may be the one who will not eat out of a dirty bowl or always sleep in the same spot.
Capricorn pets (December 22 – January 19) are responsible-minded, conscientious pets that take their job as your friend seriously. They’re natural guarders who observe situations before reacting, making them excellent watchdogs or guard cats.

Gemini pets (May 21 – June 20) are social butterflies who love diversity and mental stimulation. These pets thrive on interaction, play, and variety, but tire easily.
Cancer pets (June 21 – July 22) are beautifully intuitive and attuned to their humans’ emotions and often serve as furry therapists.
Libra pets (September 23 – October 22) are pacifist diplomats who hate to fight and love harmony.
Scorpio pets (October 23 – November 21) are passionate and mysterious, and often form strong attachments to one very special individual.
Aquarius pets (January 20 – February 18) are quirky independents who follow their own path.
Pisces pets (February 19 – March 20) are dreamy, sensitive souls who seem to live in their own wonderful world.
Discovering your pet’s zodiac sign brings a light-hearted touch to your relationship, and you’ll start to see what makes them tick.
Pet zodiac signs are not to be used in place of obedience training or veterinary care, but they give fun insights into the reasons behind why your pet behaves the way he or she does. Whether your pet is a confident Leo demanding center stage or a sensitive Pisces who needs extra comfort during storms, astrology can deepen your bond with your beloved companion.
