Gemini is simply too active for Cancer! Cancer likes to stay at home and relax while Gemini wants to go and have fun.

Although the Gemini energy level is much higher than that of home-loving and security-needing Cancer, don't forget that any obstacles in a relationship can be overcome with enough determination - opposites really do attract!

General Advice:
Gemini pets are often extremely active and like very much to be heard. They will notify you whenever anything happens in your neighborhood (whether it's a child walking down the street or a car crash down the block).

Being active and extrovert can occasionally mean being a bit of a troublemaker. With a Gemini as a pet you can be sure that life will never be dull.

With an insatiable curiosity and keen powers of observation, Gemini pets will try to communicate with you using body language, eye contact and by making noises (growls, barks, meows, etc.).

Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Pets born under this sign tend to be independent and not necessarily very interested in physical contact. However, when your pet does want a cuddle he will make it known to you (it will probably happen when he is exhausted from running around). Don't be disappointed or insulted if at times he doesn't seem interested in your affection.

When choosing your Gemini pet it might be a good idea to take home two animals from the same litter - after all, Gemini is the sign of the Twins!

To stop your pet becoming bored, try to vary his daily routine and teach him lots of new games and tricks.

Gemini Facts:
Gemini the Twins represents the third sign of the Zodiac (21 May - 21 June).

This constellation gets its name from two bright stars, Castor and Pollux (the famous mythical twins of Greek mythology).

Whereas the ancient Greeks recognized the constellation as representing Castor and Pollux (sons of Leda and Zeus), the Romans identified the twins as Romulus and Remus.

Gemini is one of the few constellations that look like the figures it is meant to represent. Once you find the twins' heads, (the bright stars Castor and Pollux), it is not difficult to find their arms and legs.

The three Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) tend to be great thinkers with excellent communication skills.
