Single? Love Your Pets? Listen up.. this may be why...

So apparently whether or not a potential companion sticks around with you does depend on what pet you own, how many you have, and how much money you spend on your precious little "fuzzy wuzzy."
Here's some of the research that the Guardian reported:

• 48% of women admitted to being repelled at men who own pet spiders
• Men are turned off by partners who pamper their pets, identified by owners who spend on average $100 or more per week on their pets.
  

• One in four men said they would not date a woman with two or more cats
• A third of women said they would avoid men who let cats sleep on their pillows

I think the shock piece of information that they found was that if a pet owner was forced to make a choice between their pet and their new mate because their companion turned out to be highly allergic, one quarter would stick with their pet! WHAT?!?!
I think it's perfectly expressed by Victoria Lukats, a psychiatrist at Sussex Partnership NHS trust in Brighton, who was involved in the survey, said: "The image of Paris Hilton and her pampered pets is one that seems to send most men running for the hills."
