It looked like a nice brood you had at times. Pet people are gonna be pet people, doesn't matter cat, dog, even mice. We just like the critters that like us. I once had a parakeet when I was a kid, but doubt I will ever return to owning birds again. Hamsters were cool, we had to lock the running wheel in place at night, and all those boxes and tubes for it to run around and play in, it was a hoot watching him run.
Hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets. We have had many critters here at the Pookyville cat ranch.
River Turtle in an aquarium right now.
I would rather hang out with the critters most days rather than Humanoids
Same here on most days, they don't complain much, unless dinner is late. LoL.
