Pronunciation: [pˈɛtəz] (IPA) 
The word "petters" is spelled with a double "t" in the middle, despite the fact that the word "pet" only has one "t."

The IPA phonetic transcription for "petters" would be /ˈpɛt.ərz/, with the stress on the first syllable and the final sound being the voiced "z" sound.
Petters is a term used to refer to individuals who engage in the act of petting, which involves tenderly stroking or caressing animals. Petters are individuals who derive pleasure from the physical interaction with animals and find solace in the act of gently touching and interconnecting with them. This term encompasses people of all ages and genders who enjoy the sensation and emotional connection that petting animals provides.
The act of petting not only brings pleasure to the petters but is also often reciprocated by the animals, who, in turn, enjoy the gentle touch and attention. This creates a sense of bonding and mutual affection between the petter and the concerned animal, whether it be a pet cat, dog, or any other furry companion.
Petting is known to have various positive effects on both the emotional and physical well-being of the individuals involved. It can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase the release of endorphins, thereby providing a sense of calmness and relaxation. Additionally, it fosters a sense of companionship, trust, and love between the petter and the animal, contributing to overall happiness and contentment.
Petters often seek out opportunities to engage in petting activities, either with their own pets or through visits to animal shelters, zoos, or other places where animals are present. The act of petting is widely recognized as a therapeutic practice, as it promotes empathy, compassion, and a deeper understanding of the needs and emotions of animals.
