Good/Bad Pets

Daily writing prompt

What animals make the best/worst pets?

I don’t think any pet is a bad pet if you love it. Some would be more… challenging than others, but in the interest of discussion let’s start with the good pet while I think of an answer for a bad pet.

You don’t have to scroll far into the history of this blog to figure out my answer. Cats. Cats are the best because they take work. There’s none of that unconditional love shit with cats. You have to earn their love and respect. You have to convince them that you’re their humans. It’s possible that they might think that we are their pets rather than the other way around, but that’s okay with me.

Okay… what animals make bad pets… besides none, of course. I was going to say something prone to serious violence like an alligator with anger management issues, or a rabid tiger. Instead I am going to borrow my answer from an early South Park episode.

An elephant would suck as a pet. As Kyle said on South Park, its poop would be bigger than your couch. If it tried to cuddle up against you it would squash you to jelly. That doesn’t sound like a terribly pleasant pet/human interaction at all! Yeah, an elephant as a pet would kind of suck.

Cat Day

I’m off work today to take my father to a doctor’s appointment. it gave me a little extra time for cat pics. Just because.

Point and Shoot Goofiness

Last night while I was searching the house trying to find Lily’s mysterious hiding place, I happened to find an old point and shoot digital camera in Bellana’s room. I think she got it as a gift when she was maybe seven or eight years old. It was just sitting there abandoned so I decided to see if it works. It does. I may be back on the digicam bandwagon. We’ll see.

It’s a GE A950. It works, but it is a really cheap little sucker.
