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 like all the mammal pets and the aves. i had a friend that had a pet tarantula. we just looked at each other warily. i didn't want to get close.

i have another friend that has scorpions and snakes, and that's hard for me to wrap my head around. ive watched and held pet snakes plenty, but i don't get it. i look at their eyes and whatever is going on there is a total mystery to me. don't even get me started on scorpions. little alien fighting robots. ill just watch, thank you.

ill take dogs and cats all day. i find people who don't like mammals to have some kind of sad or limited history with a species. sure cats can play aloof head games and dogs can be pushy. birds can be noisy. whatever. i can be all those things too. it takes all kinds to make a world.

Some reptiles that will let you hold and pet them, have the best bellies ever to rub. It's like if a cat belly was combined with a beanbag. I had a pet bearded dragon as a kid, holding himbs was the best sensory experience ever.

I just like pythons and geckos I just think they’re cute. Not the biggest fan of bearded dragons but I love to see a weirdo (laudatory) walking around with one on their head.

Bug pets are for fearless people who like plants but wish the plants moved more often.

Dogs are alright. High maintenance, but alright.
