    I used to date a narcissist. And at the time a had a very small, young dog. He was a teacup poodle that I got for my 19th birthday and he was the most precious, loveable thing. I started dating this guy who came off as so sweet and kind and considerate but, needless to say, he started showing his true colors eventually. When we became engaged, he was treating me badly. I was more blinded then because it was my very first relationship and I knew that relationships could have rough patches, but it should have never been like that. My little dog was my world. He was just like my child and he was my best friend and I felt like we had a deep connection, which was important because I had no friends at the time. He was my only support and this monster of a guy wanted to separate me from that love and support. Ive dealt with depression and anxiety since I was 15, so having that love and support was so important to me. That guy told me that when we got a place together that I wasnt allowed to bring my dog. He tried to call it my mum's dog, but I corrected him and said that it was MY dog. I was raising him, I cared for him, I payed the vet bill, I bought the food so he was mine. This guy said that I couldnt bring him with us, but he wanted to get a bunch of cats, which im allergic to. His thing was that I could take allergy pills for it. It was all about him. His wants were the most important and he couldnt stand that any of my time or affection was going to something or someone else. I couldnt even have time with my friends or family. Finally, one evening he was at my house and he had been having stomach aches for a while. My dog was all happy and trying to be affectionate and he jumped on this guys stomach and this guy swung his arm and knocked my dog on the floor. I was livid. I went straight into "mama wolf" mode and went off on the guy saying "Whats wrong with you?! Dont you know you could have broken his legs?! Hes so little!". The guy didnt like this and said that his stomach hurt. I blantly said that I didnt care and its no excuse to just knock a tiny creature to the floor. The guy was so pissed that I cared more about my dog than I did his stomach. Yeah! That dog was my baby. You hurt my baby and I hurt you! I broke up with that guys soon after and have never talked to him since. He always tried to make himself out to be this wonderful, honorable person, but he wasnt. He used me and abuse me because of my kind heart. I was taught to care for things and be loving. My little dog lived to be a bit over 16 btw. He passed away Feb of last year. Always my little love.

    When I was a kid my dad would not let me have a pet. Considering how abusive he was, that was probably just as well. When I was 7 years old my grandma began staying with us, because my mom had left. My grandma brought her dog. I would play with him. When my grandma realized her dog liked me more than her, she took her dog and left. From time to time she would visit, but not bring her dog. I never saw him again. I found out from my uncle that whenever the dog would hear children outside, he would run to look out the window, as if he was looking for someone. And then the dog would look sad and go lay in his bed. My uncle told me that he thinks the dog was looking for me. I think it was selfish of my grandma to keep her dog away from me, knowing how much we made each other happy.

      Yesterday, I saved our dog from being chocked to death by my narcissist husband. The dog had an eye problem and needed a little eye surgery, and than, at home, she needed to wear a cone. "Dear hubby" wanted put on the collar+cone himself. The dog started to choke to death. I immediately checked her and loosened the collar (it was VERY tight).
      The poor lil' soul went to sleep immediately (she was still under the anaesthetic's effect). Of course, the "hubby" was in total denial and I ended up bullied and being called "crazy, paranoid, liar..." you name it.

    I was with my ex for two years. We spent all our time at his home, and he often asked me to bring my cat from my own home, to stay at his house, permanently as though we were gonna live together. Intuitively I knew not to take her there. If she had as much as scratched his furniture I knew he'd hurt her.

    Thank you for talking about how cruel a narcissist can be to pets because they are jealous people. They go out of their way to talk down about you and your pet that is apparently in the way of them obtaining the attention they desire. Without even knowing about how narcissists act, I conclude and believe for sure my friend of 49 years was terribly jealous of my pets because he was not getting the attention he wanted from me. No contact has been in effect for almost a year and I can honestly say I feel great relief.

    I never realized the correlation between infants and pets, but I now can CLEARLY see how my NPD ex treated our new baby, his jealousy and the way he was always trying to separate me from the infant that I was breastfeeding. He did a lot of damage that I was blind to until this very moment. I have to agree that the word "EVIL" is closer to what these hard core NPD people truly seem to be. A disorder can often be worked with and rectified for the good of all involved. I don't think I have ever seen the upper NPD people come down off their pedestals for more than a few minutes, then it's right back to abuse, drama and outright lies.

      I understand your conflict well. When I think back to the time I began dating my husband (35 yrs ago), he showed so many signs of narcissism. But I had no idea what it was back then. I tolerated his odd behaviors because I 'loved' him. The first time that I realized how nasty and bizarre his behaviors were, was when we had our daughter. For the first 6 months of her life, he pouted, stomped around and complained about how she and I were getting so much attention from family/friends, and he was ignored. I specifically remember him telling my family that he was being treated like he had no part in creating this baby and felt like an ATM machine, etc. While I understood that it was a huge change in our lives and some of his concerns were valid, I couldn't get over how dramatic he was being about it all. Jealous, over a baby? YOUR baby?! Really?! He was behaving like a toddler who couldn't control his emotions and would literally have tantrums. I felt like I was Mommy to 2 children. It was embarrassing. For a time it got a little better, but he would end up going in and out of these fits throughout our marriage (did it with our 2nd child, pets, etc.) and ended up becoming distant and unfaithful. He often sought out the attention and company of co-workers (mostly female) for supply/validation. It's what he always needed and craved (and always will), in order to function normally and be 'happy' (ie. Regulated). It took me 36 years and a final discard by him to realize this and take the hint. 😢 I have always truly loved him and am devastated that our marriage didn't last, but I understand now that it just wasn't meant to be, and we need to go our seperate ways. I refuse to be in someone's life that doesn't want me there. I'm worth way more than that. It hurts, but it's ok. We will be alright. All the best to you and everyone else going through this.

    When we were growing up, we kids were not allowed pets, so it surprised me that my mother got an Alaskan husky, actually brought to her by her live in boyfriend.

    My situation with my Narc was odd and I think it was because of my father. He loved animals dearly, and it was a part of my mother’s act to pretend she loved them, too. But the only animals she liked were as you said, the ones who clung to her. But there were moments that I hated her for how she treated some of our pets. My 12 year old cat got thrown outside to never be let in again when I left for college. The reason was because she was shedding 🙄. I saw the cat at Thanksgiving that year but she had disappeared by Xmas break a month later. She either died of loneliness or a predator got her. I will always bear a hate for my mother for doing that to her. Another time, I had found a Boston terrier running along the street, which such an animal is very expensive and I imagined someone would want it back. It was a really high-stress dog at first but started to chill out. Meanwhile I had an ad in the paper advising I’d found the dog. I came home two days later to find she had loaded up the dog and dumped it on the opposite side of town. Once my father died, she got to being more active in preventing us from taking in pets, and I think the absolute worst thing she did to animals was when a Manx cat showed up at our house pregnant. My brother and I wanted to bring her in so we could tame her kittens and give them away. NO. We had to make a place for her outside in a shed. And then the cat disappeared, likely taken by a fox, and then her kittens began disappearing, but still we couldn’t bring them in. The last kitten we found shivering in a tree and that’s when I put my foot down and brought him indoors. And between me and my brother, we kept him indoors for 17 awesome years. I think what I hated most about my Narc mom was the way she picked and chose which animals she would tolerate and to hell with the ones she didn’t. 😢

    When I was a young child through my teen years my dad would beat literally punch and kick any and every dog we had if they had an accident in the house. They were puppies and just needed training. The sounds of their cries I can still remember. He told me that's what you had to do in order for them to learn. But what I observed is that those animals never respected him. They feared him and would keep their heads low everytime he would come around. That's exactly how he treated my mom and I. My mom and I reacted the same way the animals did.

    I had a mother and son cat pair. I’d had them about 14 years when I got married. I married a narcissist. She hated the cats, and showed absolutely no affection or desire to form a bond with them. Cats would walk on the counter tops. She demanded I put an end to this. I explained I had tried. Cats often times don’t follow their humans rules. So I had to spray them with water whenever they did this, which didn’t have any effect on the situation, as I knew it wouldn’t. She actually started demanding I give them to the pound. I loved these cats, and was upset my new wife would demand such a thing, knowing full well I was not willing, under circumstances, to get rid of these two cats, which I loved very much. Much to my dismay, I had two children with her, and had to watch treat our children in a similar manner, mainly in regards to neglect. The kids were always left with the grandmother, or myself. But hey, whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. I filed for divorce when the kids were just one and six months of age. So sad.

    That just shows, that I was right. I once had a housemate and she was in my opinion a Narcissist. I came home, after being 3 weeks in the country I was born (long story, why I call it like that) and I saw her limping as well. It broke my heart. 😿 She had already a tough time behind her, by being several years on the street and a while in a shelter. It was a black cat and I loved her. Unfortunately only after she lived with me about 2,5 years, I just came out of the bathroom and she was laying aside with some strange moves. It was in the middle of the night ans I had to take the vet which had open. She had a stroke and I had to decide the worst you can imagine, but he (hopefully he was not lying to me) was telling me, that she would not survive too long and was in pain. I still hope, that at least the last few years she could have a little bit of a taste, what a nice cat-life is.
    I also grew up in a narcissistic household. Believe it or not, in my case, my parents where able to turn the whole family against me, this is one of the reason, why I do not even live in the country anymore, I was born. I was always "too weird" and I recently made a personality test (although I hate to be in a special category) It turned out that I am an INFJ-T and well, I do now understand some things more, but it does not get it more easy.

I've been surching for him for months, but never found him back. He did that to break me because he had new supply and I wasn't easy going anymore...

    I have always loved animals, cats in particular. My mother and sister neglected my cat during my senior year in college. She died covered in fleas and shut away in my room. One of her remaining kittens from a litter of three is ill right now at 19 years old and my mom has me financially dependent (long, complicated story) and is watching her die slowly instead of helping me get her to the vet to see if anything can be done for her, knowing her health has been declining for 3 years. One of my first memories is her my mother making me and siblings abandon kittens she had let us have in the dead of night by the railroad in elementary school.

    I'm so thankful someone is finally talking about this topic about pets not just humans. Animal creulty is top on my list and I want to change the laws that have been so slack for years on end. They let abusers go up to 11 counts and still not punishing them. It should be one count and done. Where is the fight for animals ? eveyone turns a blind eye. Where is the culture change that keeps passing it on ?. I had a dog and he was senstive to thunder and had panic attacks so if you were not home he would try to escape and and scratch and put holes in the walls. Otherwise he had no issues. Then it happend we had a house and storm came and were not home.The dog put a whole in wall. So my ex husband then flipped out when he got home and agressively started to yell and pull the dogs collar as he coward under the table bcause he wanted him now out into the garage since he dammaged the walls and now he has ro repair it .He forcebly pulled the dog out and put him in garage and wanted him to stay there. Next he went online to some animal site and put my dog for sale. So I went on there and told the people what happend and that he was not for sale. The people were disgusted. From then on I knew he was wrong for me. Anyone who cares more about their house then the animals own fears that they cannot control and punishes them for it is not worthy. The animal doesnt even know what they did wrong since it was hours after event as well. He continued to punish and ignore our dog for any attention for a month which made me sad for him too. while we were married he get jealous of the attention to the dog and kids more than him. I said why woud you get married since when you do there is no allattention jsut on you anymore thats a given but he ddit like that. Prior in the past I had a bf and a cat then. We lived together for a short time I brought my cat. He got mad that the cat was crunching on his food in the kitchen late at night and waking him up. Also he complained that the cat hair was anonying and on his clothes and I needed to vacume more. I think we had a convo about the cat or him and it was def the cat not him and I lator left him.These people dont have any heart for anything less than perfect and thats not the way life is.

    I had to click on this video, because during my healing journey, my dog Mandy recently came into my mind. I found a couple of old snapshots of her from when she was a puppy then a year later when she was grown. I adopted her from the county fair when I was 14, at the FFA petting zoo where they would offer puppies and kittens for adoption.
    After much begging and pleading, I was allowed to take home the little puppy. I had intended to train her so that I could later show her at 4-H events. Even though we lived on 5 acres, I was not allowed to keep her in the house, although I did sneak her in from time to time. She was a puppy, but I had to keep her in the garage. Grant you, this is Minnesota where the winters can be excessively cold, oftentimes below 0 for weeks at a time. Still, she was not allowed inside. Our garage was attached, but not heated. We had an older fixed male dog who left her alone. He had a doghouse that was eventually moved into the garage. I didn't know a thing about raising an animal back then, but I lament now at age 53 that the bond was not able to be adequately formed because she was never allowed inside.
    Aside but related: when we were little, my father drove over-the-road semi truck. He would be gone for 2-3 weeks at a time, come home for 2-3 days, then be off again. My narcissist mother delighted in being able to tell us, "Just wait until your father gets home!" So she would tell him about the naughty things we had done over the past 2-3 weeks, and he would beat us with his belt in succession. It occurs to me that her doing so was a way of creating a 'negative association' between the children and their father, by making it so every time we saw him, we would be afraid of him and associate him being home with us getting hit.
    I believe (cannot say for certain, but it seems familiar - many of my memories are returning, slowly, and I have worked to decipher their realness v. contemplation). I believe that she also did that with me and my puppy. She would tell me that Mandy had done something wrong that day, then tell me to spank her. I didn't know back then --at age 14-15--that you don't do that to animals. They have no way of knowing why they are being spanked. And this was the 1980s where we didn't know not to hit animals. I played a little too rough with her outside, but tried to give her as much time and attention as I could and also train her to do tricks and walk on a leash, which she didn't like (probably because I was forced to keep her tied up all day while I was in school or at swim lessons, etc.).
    Over time, my mother brainwashed me into believing that there was something 'wrong' with the dog; she was too aggressive. My flying monkey siblings were all too happy to agree with this. She had me take the dog to the vet and request that she be euthanized. I can remember the vet seeming shocked, because she was young and healthy. I remember saying to the vet with flat affect, "I can't go home with the dog," using the term 'the dog' as opposed to her gender or name. This breaks my heart now, when I realize how cold I had become towards this little creature I had once loved. I now allow myself to grieve over it; I really hope and pray that the vet adopted her out rather than go through with the procedure.
    Now, whenever I think of the Barry Manilow song, it makes me tear up, because that's literally my song for her. She came and she gave without taking...but I sent her away.
    If I didn't know any better (sarcasm), I'd guess that my narcissist mother made it so I had nobody who loved me and so that I had nobody to love.
    So yes, I agree that narcissists are evil / demonic / satanic / soulless - how else could they work so hard to steal, kill and destroy the purest form of energy there is? Love? And innocent creatures such as dogs and cats? I remember we also had a dog named Ginger for a short while, but I do not recall what happened to her. I suspect my mother had her k'd too. I was probably told she 'ran away.'

    Have faced all the points Danish😭 it breaks my heart to remember the past. Unfortunately I got married to a narcissist after trying to get out of my narcissistic maternal home. My babies -dog and turtles got abused like anything. They became so exhausted like me and scared. Literally traumatized. My mother abuses my dog when I am not watching. My dog avoids her. Poor baby. I feel so sad to have brought her into this shit with me. Her dog has separate set of rules. And my baby has separate. She would allow her dog to eat anything from the kitchen or even the counter. But my dog will be beaten up even if she is playing around somewhere near the kitchen. My now ex husband suddenly devalued my dog once he realised that i won't let him abuse her in any way. Finally suddenly one day he asked both of us to get out of his house that too at around 1-2 AM because his mother had allergies from dogs. 😲 they are sooooo complicated.my brain just hurts. On the pretext of dog my mom has abused me many times in several different ways. I feel so sad for my baby she was caged for several months. And tortured.my ex's family sprayed hand sanitizer in her eyes, threw burning matchstick at her. When I was not watching. Am so shocked how they condition us to fall prey for them even after all these tortures. Danish thank you for covering so many topics. I sincerely wait for your videos. Because they are lifeline right now for me.

    After the narc came to live with me, my little dog started to have unusual behaviour. He would hesitate to enter the room, however much gentle coaxing on my part. At this stage I wasn't aware that my partner was a narc, nor what that implied particularly. At the time I used to leave the narc on his own with my dog every weekday in order to see my elderly mother and ensure she was ok.
    It's only in retrospect that I realise the narc probably hurt my dog in my absence. He has recounted occasions when he had acted cruelly towards other dogs yet always acted lovingly tomy dog in my presence. If only I'd had a hidden cam in the room!

    It breaks my heart how widespread the mistreatment of our furry friends is. One of life’s biggest gifts is our relationship with dogs, cats or any other type of friend one can have. A human holds so much power objectively over a dog or cat that to abuse that bond in any way is so sad and angering. They deserve love and respect and nothing less. Abusing animals is a sign a person would abuse anyone they felt they could get away with abusing. Animals can’t literally tell us what a person does. I think that adds to why it makes me sick.
    Great video man. Blessings to you and yours.

    I pretend to be upset that my pet shows interest and love to the narcissistic, they get their fix of upsetting me and weaponizing my pets affection and in turn my pet is safe because the more they seen it as a useful tool that served them, the safer they were. They tried hard to remain the "good guy" in my pets eyes so they get the pay off of upsetting me but my pet remained safe and pampered. It hurt to see them spending time with someone who fake loved them when I wanted to love them for real but I had to put their safety first. Time is precious and something I will never get back but I hope she's looking down from heaven and sees the sacrifice as an act of unselfish love. My hell and torment for her heaven = worth it.

    It bothers me when people say that we don't deserve pets, because they love so unconditionally. I think that the people with that view actually hate humans, as though others are evil and don't deserve love themselves. And that maybe they aren't in the 'others' group, THEY are the ones who see the value in pets but nobody else does. I know that this is probably out of nowhere but every time I hear that, I am trying to figure that out because it always seems to be self serving instead of just appreciating the lovely animals

    When I first moved in with my ex, I noticed he had been locking his dogs in the dark basement for extremely long periods of time. I would ask for him to allow the dogs upstairs with us but he'd make excuses for why he wouldn't. When one of our dogs died, I would hear the other crying and knew how lonely and sad he must be so I finally convinced him to allow him upstairs. The catch was, he had to stay in a crate a majority of the time. I had to wait for my ex to leave to let him out to play and be a part of the family. After he passed our boy was so devastated, I was convinced to get us a new dog. I refused to allow the crate so one day when I was at work, my daughter called hysterical. She told me my ex had kicked our new puppy so hard the entire neighborhood could hear him yelping. I rushed home and found that not only did he abuse our puppy, he did it in front of our little boy. We decided we had enough at that moment so we moved. While in the process of moving I had to leave the cats. I never witnessed him mistreat them so thought it would be okay for a few days. As a form of punishment, my ex locked the cats in the basement with no food or water. I wasn't narcissist aware at the time but happy to know now so I'm better equipped at dealing with him.

    After a couple of months, he called me to ask what to do. I stopped by and examined him. Every lymph node in his body was swollen and he had zero appetite.
    He refused to go back with him when he had to be euthanized...so i did. Feeling that cold...that kind of quickness...it enraged me. If i had demanded to take him, at least he would have had peace and pain management.
    Because i was so afraid of what he would do, i failed that dog.

I called her out on the pointlessness of owning the dog and encouraged her to give him to a loving family who would spend time with him. Ignored me.

Then my ex used that to be rude to me and hit my dog. That happened twice, and I had to carry my dog inside because I wasn't going to let it happen a third time. But it was so annoying because he would come to me and my dog every time I had to take it for a walk, so my dog's walk was interrupted. He also had a dog, but the dog was always sad and anxious, I felt bad for that dog.

    I suspect that my nar abused my best best buddy (my dog) after he demanded I go back to work and pay more money to live with him even though I was caring for his personal care and buying all the food and household items needed plus my bills. One day I came home from work and my dog was very sick My nar bf said he didn't want to call me at work and worry me. My best buddy survived a few more days and die. I never suspected the abuse until he kicked me out of his house, and one day out of nowhere, the thought came to mind he threw him across the room for getting on the bed. One of the hardest things to live with. I blame myself because if I had never went to live with such a bad person I believe my best buddy would still be alive. He has a dog and he would scream and yell at the dog everyday. At least while I lived with him I could kinda watch over her. After 8 months after he kicked me out he threw me some bread crumbs and I went to visit. When I got there he would scream and yell at her as usual and make her stay in the bedroom so I couldn't show her affection. She didn’t going blind. I believe its will most likely kill her. Lord help him and me if I ever find out he killed my best buddy. I will find a way to notify authorities anonymously for his dog's safety after watching this video. When I would show attention to dogs he would bark like a dog because he wasn't getting attention. At times I still have problems wondering if could have done more in the relationship to keep it together. But after watching this video I don't think I'll have that problem anymore. This is just one more confirmation to add to the hundreds I already have.

    I used to date a serial cheater, a narcissist, and he'd found himself someone new. I was taking him to task and he was standing in his living room telling me that he was in love, nothing he'd ever experienced came close, and he threatened to break up with me. His cat came to me and rubbed on my leg during this argument, then came to him, and he kicked his cat. I told him I'd call animal control on him if he ever touched his cat that way again, but I needn't have done so; the cat bit him on the back of the ankle and he wound up in the hospital for a week with infection. The breakup happened, of course, and all I heard after from him was a lament about ending up in the hospital. No regrets for anything he did to the cat or to me. Total narcissist.

    Il était sûr de gagner tous les concours.
    En fait il était éliminé à chaque fois.
    Et puis il a constaté que j'avais créé un lien avec la jument.
    Alors il a dit que s'il ne gagnait pas en concours c'est parce que je montais mal à cheval. C'était de ma faute.
    Il a voulu m'imposer une façon de monter qui était mauvaise pour le cheval. Moi j'avais plus d'expérience que lui, j'ai continué comme je savais faire.
    Alors il m'a interdit de monter, puis de m'occuper de la jument.
    En fait il était devenu jaloux !
    Je devais aller les weekends en concours avec lui pour faire les tâches ingrates mais j'avais interdiction de toucher la jument. Je ne pouvais pas lui donner à boire.
    Il préférait que la jument attende 1/2 en pleine chaleur pour boire dans le seau qu'il lui donnait, lui.
    J'aimais cette jument qui avait un petit caractère rebelle et qui était très vive. Elle était intéressante.
    J'ai quitté le mec.
    La jument, je l'ai revue 3 ans plus tard. Elle était devenue triste. Le caractère complètement cassé. Plus aucune volonté.
    C'est là que j'ai vraiment compris que ce gars était un PN. (La jument était"morte dans sa tête" c'était comme une machine.)

    I was engaged to marry a narcissist and lived with him for 4 yrs before I had to move over 2500 miles away to hide from him. He wasn’t the average, cookie cutter (which is bad enough) narcissist.., no, he was the Grand High Witch President CEO Rothschild level narcissist. He was the evil I had underestimated existed through all prior indirect experiences. Evil I hadn’t imagined and will never be able to forget. He was jealous of our 2 tiny chihuahuas. He despised my love for them because he thought it took away from the love I should only have for him. There were instances, I won’t elaborate to describe in detail, that had me preparing mentally to rehome the only joyous things in my life at that point, they were the only real love I experienced on a day to day basis. They were my most precious things. I could never understand how anyone could mistreat anyone else. I’m happy to say that I got the 3 of us out of that situation and both my sweet girls went on to live to 19yrs old with a 2yr gap because Pixie was 2yrs older than Sophie. Pets are not safe with narcissists, neither are children., especially if they aren’t biologically theirs. I have to say that you saying narcissists have no soul has a real ring of truth and sparked my interest to entertain that thought further and more in depth.🤟

    Some weeks ago I read a few books about narcissism and came to conclusion thay I am a nerc, however this video makes no sense to me... When I visit my parents I carry my old pup with me anywhere, I cannot take my eyes off of her gaze, I always pet her clean her, take the buggers out of her face, put her on my shoulder like she's a patrot, put it into everyone's faces telling them to worship her, I ripp food into smaller pieces for her to be more comfy to eat and I comfort her when my parents yell at her...
    My parents however ... My mom is surely a narc.. she cries when someone dies but she just cannot bare living things, I was terribly pisses when I came back from abroad after my pup was rum over with a car and obviously been sick after that for a while which I have noticed asap, I was the only person who did.. I brought her to a vet and turns out her diaphragm is split from the impact and she was like that for a few months, I paid for tests and surgery and I gave no fucks about the money and let me tell you it was somw investment, my family said if it was up to them they would have put her down rather than pay 500€... I'd kill for that dog... Soooo I am unsure if all narcs are abusive.. I am still quite convinced I am a vulnerable(aka covert) narcissist

And she has 3 legs, no tail, a very traumatic accident when she was 3-4 weeks old. I'm her only person, her comfort.

    They also treat the animals better than you. They love it more, give it an abundance of attention and affection. In order to make you jealous and to show you the animal means more than you do, to put strife between you and the animal. The make the animal extremely anxious they they are not around because the animal is so dependent upon them and they love the fact that the animal only wants them. The animal can do no wrong, if the animal is hit it begs for love, if it’s yelled at if forgives quickly. If the animal does anything that is if they fly off the handle yelling, screaming and hitting it. With my animal it was hidden abuse and I knew it because it would cower or shy away in their presence. These people are sick and can be dangerous. Psychologically damaging for all.

    I've seen a few narcissists deal with my dog two of them want to obsess that the dog was more interested in them and loved them more than me... one even threatened to steal my dog and repeatedly told me this is a man's dog, because yes my pup is big and adorable and perfectly behaved, and I know that when I wasn't around he didn't harm him because if you hurt him he will react to you he won't go with you he won't like you he will act differently around you and he never did that with that specific douchebag narcissist, the other hated the fact that I had a dog even though the dog loved him it was a distraction for me to have the dog and not make everything completely about the narcissist, he wouldn't allow my perfectly behaved dog at his house and went out of his way to make up several long-winded lies, one time I met up with his roommate and asked about some of the reasons and things I have been told and he said no none of that is right you guys are welcome here anytime... I was never allowed to meet with that man again in person, because the conversation was had in front of the narcissist

    She would treat her cat like a king, but she would also tell it "I'm gonna break your neck" or "I'm going to smack you" if it misbehaved. My friends and gf's would also see this-my mother didn't care-and would just be like "wtf was that/why would she do that?". I had no answer. She would also put said cat between her legs while she'd lay on the couch in a position... that's all I'll say. And when I called her out on doing that, she got mad at me. I guess she didn't want to be called out on something so heinous.

    I think another thing that is done is the narcissist will bring animals home to dump unannounced on family members. My ex-husband thing would do this to me all the time!! We had 2 small children, and he was a truck driver, so he was gone a lot and would dump extra things (animals) on me all the time. Then, I would look like the bad person to my kids when I would take them to the shelter.
    And yes, he would go into rages at the animals when they irritated him!!

    My father is a true narcissist. Back in the 70's, we had a beagle and he would like to dig in the yard. My dad would abuse the dog by burying him up to his head and then turning the water hose on him. Finally, he had our dog killed while we were gone on vacation one year. We came back from vacation and were told that our dog ran away and we spent weeks looking for him, creating flyings, etc. My dad confessed years later than he he had someone kill the family pet.

    In time as I began to acquire a formal education my narcissist husband was exhibiting physical aggression. Afraid I was going to have the money to leave him with a good paying job. One by one there were times when each of us would get quickly punched on the leg or the arm for one stupid reason or another. One day he even reached out and punched the cat. I knew he was sick but I didn't know what to call it. And yes it was hard enough to leave a bruise. I couldn't wait to get a job and leave him. And yes I went to a shelter because that's the only place I could go with my steady income. I wish I could have left sooner.

      I think one of the best way to test a person's character is by finding out what their opinion on cats are, and how they treat them. Dogs are obedient so it's easy to get along with them. But cats are kinda like roommates. If someone can't handle living with a cat and gets abusive, let alone at the sight of them, it would likely transpose to their human relationships to some extent. I'm not saying people have to like cats or even not dislike them. But those who actually wish for and would carry out harm on cats have never been ONCE good people in my experience.

      @@MissX33 It's an individual thing, and also narcissism is on a spectrum. Narcissist are abusive people, some worse than others. As for pets, yes SOME narcissists are abusive to pets, I would imagine they particularly dont like cats, as they are independent, whereas dogs are more subordinate and so more likely to be tolerated as they can control them. The narcissistic abuse towards pets can be quite subtle, such as taking in a pet and then giving it away a year or two later or just leaving them home locked in a laundry room for most of the day or in an outside dog run. What Danish is referring to is the narcissists partner's pet and how the narcissist often will pretend to be kind to them in your presence (and I think we are talking more about cats here) and then behind their backs treat them abysmally, such as not feeding them, force feeding them and/or physically abusing them. I have written about my experience my narcissistic husband did with my cat elsewhere in this thread. If you truly have a narcissist in your family, then count yourself lucky if they truly did nothing to your pets behind your back, but please do not paint all narcissists with the same brush as yours, when clearly just reading the comments here and from Danish's own experience, it seems there is a twisted thing going on between many narcissists and pets.

I never liked leaving the dogs alone with him as I knew he’d neglect them. When we split my first thought was “No matter what the dogs come with me”. Luckily he didn’t care at all and instead was relieved. One less thing to distract him from himself.😮

      @@sleepingdogslie It's really sad how much a narcissist misses of the world, like having a carton of ice cream and only licking the drops of condensed water off the pretty picture on the outside.
      I am dog dependent, not that I couldn't live without one, but having a sincere companion enriches my life in so many ways. And I guess that reveals I've suffered through a number of insincere non-canine companions, too.

    The reason I finally got the motivation to leave my mom's house was this. I was at the breaking point and one day i told her that i was going to start looking into moving out and getting my own place. She smiled at me with this evil glint in her eye, but said nothing. I thought to myself, I'm still going to leave, there's nothing you can do to stop me. I then went to bed and woke up to find that she had left the doors open to the room where all her plants were kept, every single one of them being toxic to cats. There are two doors between where the cats live and the plants are kept. She left both doors open. Luckily my cats didn't get into the plants, but they had all day to do so (I worked nights and slept days). I confronted my mom about it and, with the same evil glint in her eye, she said she had been so distraught about me talking about abandoning her that she must have accidentally left the doors open. I got the message. After that, i said nothing more about leaving, but secretly put my plan together, covering all my tracks and playing into her narcissism, being a good little victim, so she didn't get suspicious.

      My mother was mean. My mother was mean to a little beagle mix we had. She would scream at her. The dog was not allowed inside. She had a dog house and was chained to it 90% of the time. When my sis went to college I looked after the dog. But Mom did treat one dog okay. That dog stuck to Mom like glue. When the dog died Mom cried. She treated my sister horribly and after my sis left she started on me. She pulled my hair and slapped me. She called me a dummy, and when I got into my teens and as an adult she was verbally mean and physically abusive. She ended up with dementia and died. My dad left her when I was 14 because of her abuse. Thank God I had a Uncle that got me through. She turned me on Dad for a short time as well. But Dad and I were close and it did not last long. She knew it bothered me whenever she was mean to the cat and dog. When Mom passed I was not sad.

    looking back, this all kind of makes sense. My father would brag about how great his dogs were when he was growing up. But he barely took care of any of our pets. He actually put our first dog down when I was very young without telling anyone because it peed on the bed a couple of times and sometimes would have seizures. That made my mom cry, and I was left wondering why the dog was there one day and gone the next. He said it was for my sake years later because he thought the dog was dangerous. I got a turtle for my 7th birthday that I neither wanted nor asked for. He didn't help take care of it at all and then chastised me for not taking care of it and being ungrateful for having it. We had two dogs after that that he was very minimally involved with, barely trained them, never walked them, never cleaned up after them, was critical of whether or not they needed to go to the vet. His first action in disciplining them was to hit them, anger was always his first resort. It's amazing how we tend to miss these signs, or explain them away for the sake of preserving piece of mind.

    I've had suspicions that my dogs were being abused when I was gone at work ⁶and he would be home. One day I came home and my 9 year old female Rottweiler wasn't quite right. She was running into things her legs werent working properly and when I left everything was fine. He did something to my dog that day and she suffers everyday now because of him. I feel so horrible like how did I let this happen to my loved pet? I had a voice recorder and recorded the next day and sure enough I caught him on tape beating my animals and then turn around and act as if nothing was wrong. I'm filled with rage because of this, I can only hope one day he will run into his karma. Monitor your pets closely people. Mine has suffered brain damage from my narc ex! On top of other pain inflicted from him.

      I am so sorry for your dog...
      Poor innocent soul
      I was married to a covert narc
      I had a cat at my Mother's house before
      I was so sad not having him with me anymore...
      I was always talking about him, watching videos of cats on youtube
      The narc would say, you always watch these videos aren't you bored ???
      He was annoyed of course because i showed less attention to him..
      On day he told me well you should go to your Mother's house and bring buddy here (my cat's name)
      I was so surprised !!!
      Couldn't believe it and i shouldn't...
      Long story short, he showed jealousy and animosity to this poor innocent soul but he managed to manipulate me...
      We can't believe that there are evil people...
      One day like you i wasn't there
      Buddy stayed with the narc
      And when i came back he was hiding under the couch and stayed there terrified....
      This was the Last time my ex saw him
      Well i tought so...
      I brought him back to my Mother's house
      Months late, he suddenly disapeared...
      My ex would say well you know buddy is very vocal(this cat loved to "talk" with me)
      Maybe one your Brothers chased him....
      I believed it for one time but i had this feeling... Plus one day he told me
      You know buddy is the type of cat that if you kicked him he would never ever come back Right ?
      This !!!!!
      I knew it was him who did it !!!
      But i had no proofs....
      Anyways God SAW it all and i Pray for Justice for Buddy🤲❤️❤️❤️

    My narc sister went out of her way to buy a cute little dog. She researched for weeks and finally met up with the seller and got the dog. She was telling everyone about it. She purchased a bed, lots of wee wee pads, toys and even scheduled to take pictures with the dog and Santa and place the photo on the wall at her place.
    She didn’t have ANY patience with potty training the little pup. She couldn’t tolerate the mess when she got home and then tried to guilt trip other people into taking care of the dog when she went to work. I wanted no parts because I just brought a newborn home and didn’t want to have to think about a puppy to mind as well. This of course got her upset because who in the world tells her no right??!?!
    She then started to neglect the dog and instead of leaving the dog in the house while she was at work, she left him in the cold dark garage. And I mean COLD. He got matted and dirty and she stopped talking sweet to him. Then a blizzard came and you know what she did?? She took him to the groomers and shaved all his fur down to his bare skin because it was so matted and dirty. The groomer had no choice but to do that. And instead of bringing the dog in house where it is warm…she put him back in the cold dark garage again. When asked why doesn’t she bring him in, she responds with “I can’t be bothered.”😒
    Next morning she goes in the garage and finds him frozen to death. And you know what she started to do??? Cry. She started to cry and tell everyone about how hurt she is.
    I can’t tell you how much she disgusts me. She continued to cry for weeks looking for sympathy from everyone. She is seriously a special case.
