So What's Your Pet of Choice?

[Togakure]

I had a rat for a pet back in junior high school. I attended a special summer school session that had us doing some cool stuff, including making stained glass windows and training rats to do tricks. After the class was over I was the lucky one who got to take our mascot home. Her name was Harley and she was too cool. Got her a wheel which she peeled out on all night long, and I loved to watch her tear up her fresh newspaper with relish and make her cave in the mess. My mom liked her too and even let us keep her in a rather large cage on the kitchen floor (which was unprecendented for a Japanese mom; but we had to keep her living space immaculately clean, of course). Man I loved that rat. She was hella smart.

What choice? there is no choice!

Might as well imply that there are people who like vanilla better than chocolate.

As if!

cats first, dogs come a close second
had cats for most of my life (have 2 now), had a bunch of stray dogs on and off - they were not living _in_ my house, ofc, butI'd bring em in occasionally to feed them, and pet them, and especially during winters, so they can warmp up a bit.
otherwise I'd just play outside with em - they loved kids, and obeyed them almost blindly.
unfortunately, I don't think a dog would be happy in the middle of a city, among steel, glass and such - but if I ever move into a house with a decent yard, or in some reasonably remote neck of the woods, my cats will get some bigger companions ;P

Cats first... Then female humans I guess! I do like dogs too, but outdoors. Someday I'll learn horseback riding I hope... Oh, I like cattle too. Fond memories of the summers in moms village.

I like vanilla....

Anways, I went dogs.

So loyal and loving. They ask for nothing but love. And you can play fetch with them, unlike any other pets.

I would have to say a good dog. Dogs that run off are not as good as most cats that I have met, but a good dog is better than a good cat. Dogs are also more open with emotions. My dog hugs me with her front paws when I get home, my cat is nowhere to be found.

I play fetch with my cat all the time I think hawks are good at it also.

He probably knows you like the dog better. Cats are just as affewctionate if not more so than dogs. But at least the dont drool and slobber all over you. They also tend to be much cleaner and dont stink when their wet.

I like them both equally most of the time, the dog is only better for playing with and as a greeter. You cannot have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever sit in your lap while you play an FPS or RTS, it just does not work with a 70-75 pound dog; but a cat can and will sit in my lap while I play. It is nice to be able to get some quality time with the cat during load times. Anyway, I like dogs a tiny bit more than cats. One advantage to cats is if you have two you can watch them bicker every now and then. Better than the Coliseum...

Cats are born quite active when they do a lot of hunting but as they grow up, they turn into lazy, sleeping animals.

pigs are supposed to be the perfect pets and yet they are left out of the list??

the reasoning behind this is that dogs look up to humans too much
cats look down on humans
but pigs treat us as equal!

anyway i voted cats, i've had cats most of my life and i love them!
but you come to love any pet no matte what it is but i really feel close to my cats!

[TonyJ]

Well a few people agree with me that ferrets are the animal of choice !!

They are affectionate, playful and need next to zero maintenance (much like a cat, but oh so unlike a human female).

I have two (ferrets, not human females): an albino and a sable - had them both from kits and my life wouldn't be the same without the little buggers.

So here's to ferrets, this man's second best friend (girlfriend is in the roon)

Whatever a guest would find most intimidating. Big cats are kind of high maintence though. Maybe a falcon.

[Craterus]

a guest would find a small annoying child intimidating?
