Sažetak
The information presented in this paper provides an overview of the research conducted in order to prepare the exhibition entitled Of Animals and Humans. The exhibition was partly dedicated also the the unique relationship with animals, or more specifically pets, established by humans, which, from the documentary aspect, has almost disappeared. The interpretation started from a concise chronological overview or the perception and the position of dogs and cats in the societies of Ancient History and the Middle Ages and the appearance of the burgeoisie as the promoter of spreading of the practices of owning pets. It ends on the territory of Croatia, during the period ranging from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, based on the views collected in the Miscellany of the Folk Life and Customs of the Southern Slavs and enhancing them with legal (veterinary) regulations from the same period. The ending is dedicated to the steps that need to be taken in order to record the actual, primarily, urban culture of pets, as well as the decay of museologically valuable materials linked with this topic, of which there is an overall shortage in museums in general.
