Re: Dream Pet/Pet Preference?

(Anonymous) 2021-04-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I prefer cats to dogs because most dogs need people around way more than cats do, but I love both. I'm just not comfortable leaving a dog alone for the twelve+ hours a day I'm at or commuting to or from work. Plus my cat seems to hate dogs (and other cats!) But if I ever get another dog, it'll most likely be when I retire, if I live that long. My cat loves being petted and sitting/sleeping on me, and greets me at the door when I get home.

I also keep hens, but they mostly just need a clean safe place to sleep, a fenced space to run around and dustbathe in during the day, and food, water, and dried mealworms (if they could talk, mealworms would be the first thing on the list!)

They don't mind me sitting in the run with a book and will eat out of my hands, but they don't like being petted or anything. But I have one crippled one who I feed by hand twice a day, and she's definitely closer to being a cuddly pet than the others.

If I ever get my MLIS, my plan is to reward myself with dwarf milch goats; they're legal here provided you have two to keep each other company and get them dehorned (as babies, usually) and males neutered--intact males piss on themselves during rut.

My ridiculous dream lotto win pets would be a horse or two and maybe some rescue parrots alongside cats, dogs, chickens, and goats, plus funding a rooster and maybe wether (neutered male) goat sanctuary for people who have accidental pet roosters they can't keep but don't want to see eaten or used for cockfighting, or wethers that would otherwise be food. Excess male livestock is eaten, but I'm not the only suburban bleeding heart vegetarian who can't legally keep roosters but was heartbroken when I couldn't find a safe home for an accident (sexing baby chickens is an inexact science, RIP Beetlejuice my poor rooster.)

My only exists in dreams and fiction pet would be a dragon that could subsist on a mostly vegetarian diet and the occasional rat or mouse. I've had a pet rat and pet mice and they're very cute, but the wild ones that eat my garden, chew holes in my walls, and even eat stuff out of my pantry are less so.
