I am in a Pet

I always wondered what being in a pet was or at least how the word came to mean: to be in a snit. Wow, I just looked pet up in Roger's Thesaurus.
Here it all is.
The positive and negative of the word pet. From pet name to pet person or pet animal and onward to pet peeve and pet anger.

I'm going to do that right now and savor all the thoughts and feelings surrounding the action verb Pet - to stroke, gently in a comforting, camaraderie sort of way.
