In life I’ve tolerated a lot of people I never really liked for a minute to keep the peace but with animals you’re pretty unequivocal about where you stand, and that’s good. You don’t have to pretend with animals. You either like them and maybe even want to pet them or you don’t.

There was a time when I was living with flatmates who I had reason to not like, bar one, and I low-key wanted to get a cat just to have some living thing in my environment I did like and feel comfortable around and pets can be like that. A source of comfort when you’re surrounded by so much crap and trash. They’re really not there to judge you, drain your life-force or hold you back with a barrage of gaslighting and reverse-victimhood. You don’t need to be more generous to pets than they deserve because you have a good heart despite practically hating the people. They don’t ask you retarded questions like why you never really let them be you friend. That’s the job of people from hell. A cat or more goldfish (fish are one pet I did have growing up) would’ve got me through a lot in 2021.

Ah. Gotcha.

Have they ever brought back half-chewed mice for y’all as a “present?

Not the Cat that we've currently got, but our previous Cat brought back a dead Bird.

So long as they ain’t ironically bringing back rodent-vermin, still. A dead bird I can live with, to be fair.

Oh I will take a thousand dead bird gifts over my Cat bringing me live vermin as a gift.

…I’ve been more a dog person all of my life because I haven’t personally known cats …but I have two grandkittens now and they’re incredibly adorable and filled with gorgeous characters, so I’ll be boring and say both dogs and cats…
