Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Well folks, I found an IRL cat hater!

Genuinely took me off guard when she said that.

She also snarled in disgust when I showed her a picture of one of the sweet heart strays in my neighborhood.

.....Probably coming off as a fake post, but no, I'm being serious!

I have rescue dogs and like yeah... they are a lot of work. I love them, but they take a lot of time and money and I can't explain concepts like "I'm very busy because of a deadline, please amuse yourself and I will make it up later". They have needs, and if I don't meet them nobody will.

I would not recommend adopting any non-human to someone that wasn't completely onboard with what they require, and aware that it means many other compromises like wear on things and travel restrictions but dogs can be particularly demanding on you time. Other non humans I have cared for have been able to enjoy their own company more or required less direct attention to play/exercise/socialise.
