Honestly, just a regular black cat. I can’t because of terrible allergies
That’s my idea of hell I love my kitties
Cats. (also test
)If it was ethically possible, a capybara. I’d just hangout in my own water and stone feature with my chill friend.
My partner took me to a place where we got to hang out with all sorts of animals, capybara included. They live up to their rep, for suuuuure. They just let me pet and hug them, and they loved being hand fed.
My favorites were binturong though. They had two babies they just let loose in a room with us. They were crawling all over our heads and bodies. I cried. I loved them so much.
Porcupines were also WAY more chill than I expected. I was scared to touch their quills, but they were happy to let me pet them and feed them carrot. They were pretty much as chill as capys!
I’d love to hang out with a capybara!
Godzilla.
You could destroy your enemies with him
And your friends. And passing strangers. Cars. Trucks. Tanks. Ships. Buildings. Small mountains. Large mountains. …
Don’t forget Tokyo! He’s actually very well behaved if you just let him sleep peacefully in the ocean.
A red panda. I’d be happy with just being able to pet it occasionally to be honest.
Alternative Tree Foxies are incredibly cute.
Tiger. There’s no other acceptable answer.
However, it would have to be a very chill tiger, because I can’t have it eating my chickens
Personally, after seeing all the pictures of pet tigers in the US, I’ve been put off anyone having a pet tiger.
Cool idea but it doesn’t seem right.
I agree in the real world.
But this is fun and games, so I get to pretend that the tiger would be happy, enjoy being a pet (those two aren’t inherently the same), and safe completely.
None of the big cats should ever be a pet, even cheetahs that have sometimes been kept and bred as hunting animals. Hell, no wild animal should be a pet at this point. Domestication is a massive undertaking when done intentionally. And we’ve got plenty of domesticated animals as it is, plenty of captive bred species that should more than satisfy the folks that just have to have something not domesticated (and likely can’t be) and exotic that’s a realistic “pet”. So taking a wild animal that’s in no way realistic is just stupid.
Yeah I understand. I even have trouble enjoying the idea in the land of fun and games because the land of real life ruined it for me 🙁
Get an elderly one
Raven!
Loved the Mortimer the Raven books when I was a kid and have wanted a corvid companion ever since.
Corvids are super cool!
I love cats, but in a fantasy world I’d like a horse. I’d have to be mega rich and have someone care for the horse, but it would be cool to be able to go out for rides when I fancied it
I have a horse and I’m not mega rich so you could totally do it if you want!
It’s the effort though… so much effort. Kudos to you for doing it!
I’d love to have ferrets. They are illegal where I am, but more importantly I couldn’t afford to take care of multiple ferrets, which is problematic with how social they are. They are soooo cute and fun though. ❤️
Bear. In case I meet a man in the woods.
(The animal choice is serious. The subsequent sentence is not.)
Someone who made the right choice in the viral hashtag.
I want a big ol’ grizzly bear to cuddle. :3
More realistically, a cow would be cool.
A giant squid. Just to be the first.
Good idea. What would you call them?
Squidward ofc.
It’s actually legal in my state to own a crocodile as a pet with no permits or anything, but I don’t have the time, space, or adequate habitat for such a critter. Ignoring that Craigslist post was soooo difficult…
My kid is absolutely hurting to have a Giant African Snail, but they’re illegal here.
…go figure.
Great horned owl 🥰
Great choice 👌
Extant: opossum
Extinct: some form of troodontid or other theropod
Mythical: dragon
Ooh. If we’re going with extinct, I’d love a pet trilobyte myself.
Opposum familiar please
