Calliers Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Dog, more precisely a Golden Labrador. And my gf owns one, called Molly, also I used to have mostly dogs (and cats) growing up, so I love dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I chose multiple, for cat or dog. Up until recently I would have very much said cat, but I recently got a puppy and she is so adorable, and I couldn't imagine loving her any more than I do.

Thanks, he's been gone for a couple of years now--made it all the way to fifteen years! I'd get a dog tomorrow except for the specific combination of my job and where I'm living which make that a bit difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also get a dog tomorrow if I could, but they don't allow pets where I live. So yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicedUpSnake Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 All of my friends thought it was weird to have frogs as pets... They were wild frogs of our garden but there is some sort of hole with a horizontal fence on top and the frogs would just fall in. When we saw that we gave the frogs things to eat and days later we would just find dried out frogs in the house cause they escaped literally all the time but new ones would come so it was fine.

Hermit Advocate Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Snakes. Hands down the easiest pets I have ever had. They all have vastly different personalities and I love them all in their own way. Even when they are refusing to eat and driving me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Advocate Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 @SlicedUpSnake I have 2 Ball Pythons (the picky eaters) 1 Western/Plains Hognose (drama queen) 1 Dumerils Boa (new guy, still figuring out his personality but he's pretty chill) I swear snakes are even easier pets in terms of basic care requirements than goldfish. They like hanging out with me for a little bit and then they hit a point where they tell me they are done and want to go back to their enclosures. It's all about learning their individual body language. The only downside is they are not really snuggly like my cat is. But my cat is old so he looks at them and just gives me this look like "That looks like a fun toy to play with, but I am way to lazy to walk over and even sniff it so you have fun." I would be more worried with a younger, more energetic cat trying to mess with them. All in all, they are great pets, but not for everyone. My mom who was ambivalent towards them is now absolutely in love with them all. My dad who has always been afraid of snakes likes watching them in their enclosures and will on some occasions hold one of them for a few minutes.

Hermit Advocate Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 @SlicedUpSnake yeah, always do your research. If you ever want to talk about where to find info or types of snakes just private message me. If you haven't I recommend checking out Clint's Reptiles YouTube channel. He give a decent overview of a lot of species. Not necessarily care guides, but still good info. https://www.youtube.com/c/ClintsReptiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentle Giant Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I chose cat, but I also love dogs. If I ever get a pet again someday it would more likely be a cat. But a certain kind of dog I could have, if they aren’t too big and unruly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkaloke Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Cats for sure. They're basically a furry little friend who wanders around the house; what's not to like? To me, they're clearly the best pet. I've had more than one cat who was my best friend. I understand dogs can be similar for people who like to be around them, but I'm afraid of them. I've had a variety of rodents in the past (hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, mice), and they're kind of neat, but the combination of being cage-kept critters and not living long at all is why I'll probably never have another one. Rats especially are neat, though. Lizards and snakes are cool, but I've never had one, and they do seem difficult to take care of and a little more difficult to interact with.

Passer Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Cats all the way! I grew up with cats (two, who were just as old as I was) and had two cats when I moved out. Unfortunately, one of them got really stressed when we had a baby, so we moved her to live with a friend of ours. I actually visited her a couple of weeks back! She's 14 now. The other cat stayed with us until she died of cancer at the age of 17, now three years ago. I still miss her, even though she slept most of the day, haha! My husband is allergic to cats and dogs (something we discovered after we already had two cats), so he doesn't want a new cat. Instead, we indulged our son and got two bunnies: French Lops. We only have 1 left, she lives a happy life in our backyard, where she has free roam. My other kid has a hamster and we also have a small aquarium with fish and shrimps. I like to watch the fish, but the hamster and the bunny are a bit boring. Also, while I'm certain that our bunny is perfectly happy outside (she starts stomping angrily whenever I take her in when the weather gets too bad), I still worry a bit during winters. I prefer inside-pets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveb Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Might be more of an internet thing? Self-selecting, introverts, cat-lovers might be more likely to spend more time online, while extroverts and dog-lovers may be more likely to go out into analog space.
