Don't traumatise your pets

I read an article the other day about pets, and I'd like your views. The writer said that we confuse and even shock our pets if we suddenly act out of character. They are used to a norm and a sudden change of behaviour confuses them.

The article said if you undress in front of your cat or dog he's likely to wonder what is going on. He's never seen you with no clothes on, has he? This gives the pet quite a shock because they discover things they've never seen before. The pet's whole view of you has suddenly changed.

The article mentioned someone showering and the cat walked in the bathroom. He soon ran away up the curtain at what he'd seen.

Apparently, most pets are affected by sudden changes in circumstances. Goldfish for instance, or birds in a cage like a parrot, are very confused when you switch the TV On or Off, or turn the room lights On or Off and also sudden noises like music playing on the radio. 

My thoughts wondered about undressing in-front of the goldfish - I don't have one!

When looking through the goldfish bowl everything a fish sees is out of proportion and looks bigger than it really is because of the curvature of the glass bowl and the water. So when you're standing in front of your goldfish ... ... ...

At this point my thoughts were doing somersaults, as I suspect yours are doing right now! 

Then I had another thought. Can the souls of dead people see us and what we do? Even when you're in the shower?

What do you think? Do you undress in front of your pets?
