Aw, why can’t you get one? Allergies? Parental restrictions? My parents point-blank REFUSED to let me get a rabbit when I first asked, but after a year of intense research and begging, they finally caved. Don’t give up a-hard-days-night-ringo-15

I dunno, we just aren’t in the position to get a cat right now. (It would be a family cat.) Our first and last cat, ten years ago, was very bad about abusing the litter-box and getting abused by neighbouring cats, plus we live on kind of a busy street, so I think that has something to do with it.

That’s a shame, maybe someday. 🙁

Here’s a related question: If you could have any pet (not including species you already own) what would it be? I’d like a horse, but it’ll never happen.

(oh and mythical creatures don’t count, we all want dragons)

A cat, obviously, and a bird would be cool too. I love parrots, they’re amazingly intelligent. It’d be a high-commitment kind of pet to have, though — they often bond with you for life.

Talking birds are scary as hell. If we’re talking high functioning animals, i’d much rather go with a primate like Koko the gorilla. What i love about monkeys and apes is that they can’t speak so you don’t have to worry about getting the s**t scared out of you but they are still very smart and can communicate through sign language.

But the best pet of all IMO is a baby. You may call it cheating but when you think about it, raising a baby is like taking care of a pet.

Actually, pets do grow up, it’s just not as obvious because they’re not nearly as smart as us.

Duh, obviously. I meant ‘grow up’ in the colloquial sense of ‘grow into a mature adult human that can be independent of its parents’, which obviously a dog or cat never will, because it’s not a human.

Cats? Why yes indeed, let me tell you a tale. I’m thinking of adding a second cat to my first cat, Noot. Mainly because she’s very social and I don’t want her to get bored and become a fuddy-duddy kitty. Then I would have to rename her Snooty Nooty. That would be difficult for a cat to bear.

She is the kind of cat to demand pats and cuddles before she has a nap, and I think that is very sensible. I just need to find an obliging cat to take over this duty from time to time.

How could you refuse such cuteness? (That’s a rhetorical question, not a candid one). There is a slight danger that the answer to Cats? is more cats but fortunately economics prevents a full-blown attack of cattery.

If I could have any pet, I would want a horse. Or an elephant. But realistically, I can see myself having 5 more dogs over the course of my life. It really sucks that they’re so much better than humans, but they don’t live nearly as long.

Here’s another question:

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Or in between? I’ve always been introverted. I hate parties, and I would much rather do this all day

Such a forum does tend to skew toward the nerdish introverts who spend time in their rooms conversing with others through writing rather than those exhausting real-world social interaction things. a-hard-days-night-paul-7 (Yes, I am an introvert. I enjoy socialisation… like once a week, with people I know well. ahdn_george_06)

And I talk to myself all the time. This is primarily because I sometimes think out loud, and I think too much, therefore I talk too much, and I don’t want to bore other people too much. a-hard-days-night-john-6
