They are courageous adventure seekers that love exploring their surroundings and having activities that stimulate their minds.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)

If continuous cuddles from your furry friend sounds like your perfect match, then you may find yourself with a Taurus. Being an earth sign, Taurus pets are grounded, patient and affectionate with a deep love of nature. They are also dependable, practical and hard working but at times can be a little stubborn and don’t particularly like change, they thrive on routine and comfort so appreciate exploring in a safe environment. They are extremely loyal and loving and will love nothing more than a night spent cuddled up with their owner with plenty of snacks and treats.
