Cannot load Mysql LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE

Question

Trying to load a small .txt file into mysql but get all my data show in one fields except the null and \\n.

This is the data layout:

Fluffy,Harold,cat,f,1993-02-04,null \N
Claws,Gwen,cat,m,1994-03-17,null \N
Buffy,Harold,dog,f,1989-05-13,null  \N
Fang,Benny,dog,m,1990-08-27,null  \N
Bowser,Diane,dog,m,1995-08-31,1998-07-29 \n
Chirpy,Gwen,bird,f,1998-09-11,null  \N
Whistler,Gwen,bird,null,1997-12-09,null  \N
Slim,Benny,snake,m,1996-04-29,null  \N

The command I using is: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE"c://petdata.txt" INTO TABLE pet; this seem to be working as the data is going into table but in the wrong format.

This is my output

mysql> SELECT*FROM pet;
