A Cancer owner loves being at home whereas a Sagittarius pet will quickly become upset and frustrated if not allowed to run freely around the wide-open countryside.

Sagittarius likes to have fun and be noticed. Cancer can often be moody and unaware of his pet's enthusiasm.

Although polar opposites in many respects, the affectionate side of Cancer combined with the fun-loving nature of Sagittarius can result in a happy and healthy pet-person relationship if the Cancer owner is sensitive to his pet's needs.

General Advice:
If you looking for a fun-loving and entertaining companion, a Sagittarius pet is probably for you. However, although usually very active, Sagittarius can at times be extremely lazy (perhaps the laziest pet in the Zodiac).

When they want it (which is most of the time), Sagittarius pets demand attention and expect to be noticed. This is why they are so social and companionable.

Don't try to make a Sagittarius do something he doesn't want to do. He will stubbornly refuse and is likely to get angry quite quickly.

These pets really value their independence and love to be outside. They love nothing more than running around and playing in wide open spaces. They yearn for freedom, and become extremely unhappy and restless if locked up all day.

Hunters and explorers by nature, Sagittarius cats are excellent at catching mice, birds and rats, while Sagittarius dogs love going for long country walks and retrieving sticks you throw for them.
