My cat, Teddy. I left home for a bit, I come back to see she's gone. Nobody told me or anything. I know she's fine wherever she is, but I still miss her.
pet skunks are a thing, you have to get its anal glands surgically removed though.
You don’t have to. You can train them not to spray as long as you get them as a kit. I’ve known a few people with skunks that they raised from babies that didn’t get their scent glands removed.
Yeah I wouldn't descent mine. I believe it would be unethical to surgically alter them to better suit humans. I want a skunk for the lovable, smelly floofball they are.
A powerful politician. The reasons should be obvious.
Boston Dynamics Spot, for no reason.
I want a fully cloned megaraptor. I don't even care if it's trained or not.
just release it in Florida for me when it's done.
An army of pet dragonflies.
Never be bothered by mosquitoes again.
You can get a dragonfly on a flexible arm that clips to your hat. Apparently it works pretty well, bugs see a dragonfly floating around your head and fuck right off.
Pangolin, maybe? It's probably as close as one could get to a pet draco vulgaris.
Capybara are actually supposed to be already pretty cool. Some selective breeding might make them even cooler.
Sloth could be interesting.
There are some aquaria that would be unrealistic to own now but if there were no limits it'd be interesting to have some of the deep sea creatures.
But also, really, if money, time, etc. were no issue, I'd probably take over an entire american state to build an enormous shelter/kennel/animal hospital/rescue centre for the lost, abandoned, unhoused, or otherwise uncared for pets of the world.
Capybara because capybara
Red Panda
None.
Pets are anchors.
A donkey but I don't know how to take care of them
You going to ride that ass?
Dragon. And anyone who says otherwise isn’t being completely honest with themselves. Everyone wants a dragon.
Have you not seen Rick & Morty?
You slut!
I'd have my cat. If the devil came acallin' I'd sell my soul for me and the lil guy to be immortal. I could spend eternity in his company and it wouldn't be enough.
I, also, choose this guy's cat.
What a classic
A giraffe. Because it's a giraffe, I believe no further explanation should be necessary.
FYI they have giraffe hotels where they can just stuck their head in your room
Counter point: elephant.
Also valid, I just think I personally would prefer giraffe
I've been interested in snakes lately, they are actually quite a very interesting topic, I didn't realize just how many hundreds of morphs there are and not to mention variations of species.
Always fancied Abyssinian cats but I hate that they're bred and cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Owl
Right before I was born, my mom had a pet skunk named Petunia. She loved her and talked about her all the time growing up.
tbh, I'd rather be the pet.
Can I have a pet human or is that too problematic?
It's called having a child, and it's a lot different from any other kind of pet.
Is this some consensual sex thing? If so, will you care for them and love them?
I have answered this the same way every time I've been asked:
A great big fuck-off raven.
My dog Denver, who died a couple years ago. She was so awesome, my little buddy. Lived 18 great years, miss her every day.
Otter.
Yes, I know it would bite the shit out of me, but they're so cute.
My dogs. Because I loved them, and still do.
I'll stick with my dog family
