Q5.
It is no secret that British people love their pets to bits and would do anything to make their life happy. But 
just how far does this love go? The answer is QUITE far. Today, half of the 24.2 million homes in Great 
Britain have a pet. Cats are especially popular because many people who live alone and go to work like 
independent pets. There are eight million cats in Britain. Other popular pets are dogs, birds, rabbits, fish, 
guinea-pigs and hamsters. But you can also come across such exotic pets as crocodiles, spiders, snakes and 
lizards. 
Q6.
The British have always loved animals. Great Britain was the first country to create a society to protect 
animals in 1824. The society still exists today, and it is called the RSPCA - the Royal Society for the 
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The RSPCA finds new owners for 96,000 homeless animals every year. 
Besides, it organizes different public events and is involved in lots of activities in the sphere of protecting 
animals’ rights. The RSPCA also provides charity support to animal shelters. 
Q7.
Today’s posh pets need more than good food. They want to be pampered, just like humans. In Britain you 
can see an astrologer who will do a special horoscope for your pet. You can take your pet to see a 
psychologist. You can buy pet accessories and designer clothes. There are also special accessories designed 
to keep your pet fit, such as treadmills for dogs to exercise indoors or orthopaedic beds for dogs that suffer 
from a bad back. There is even a pet hotel in Newcastle that offers cats and dogs a gym, a jacuzzi and 
watching videos of their owners!
