Facebook addiction among the youth is well known fact, but how does Facebook goingto the dogs and cats sound?

Social networking site, Facebook, is all ready to be owned by pets as their owners have started creating profiles for their furry companions. While some owners use the site to let their friends and family members know about their new pet, others use it to further their pet's career in show business.

One such pet owner is Jeff Simmons, a 45-year-old communications manager from Queens and former spokesman for Controller Bill Thompson, who posts Facebook status updates for his dog, Bruno. "People love to talk about their dogs," he said.

Bruno has nearly 500 friends on Facebook, which is more than most people have.

Pet owners are so exited about their new aquisiton that they want the whole world to know about it. They are impressed with their pet's love and behaviour and are willing to share it with everyone.

Erica Miolla, an investment banker had created a facebook page for her pet, Rocky about two years ago and she updates her status nearly every day. "I thought it was cute. I wanted to show him off to my friends," she said. Miolla admits it''s silly to have a Facebook page for her pet, but it makes her happy nonetheless.

Having a special page on the social networking sites for one's pet is one of the feel-good factors. Both owners and readers love it!
