Do you find the company of animals calming?

I found a feral hedgehog a few years ago and adopted it. He was mean, messy, not cuddly in the slightest, but I still loved having him around. Hearing his little feet scurry across the tile in my apartment while I worked on my computer always made the place feel a little less lonely

    • Dogs make the best best friends. What kind of dog do you have?

    Im not a pet person. But if you want one that's your business. But you don't have to take them everywhere you go. I have seen people dragging their "precious fur babies" out onto pavement that is too hot even for the tires on my car and these schmucks don't give a crap and bring out fluffy.

    • People who dress their pets in clothes and put them in baby strollers are taking it way too far

    They make me happy. I've had domestic pets (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets, etc) and wild (raccoons, squirrels, frogs, turtles, skunks, possums, etc). I like petting, playing & laying down with them while they crawl over me.

        Until they tear your throat out and eat you while you're still dying.

        • Big cats are actually unusual in that way. Most predators will eat their prey while it's still alive. Big cats typically kill their prey first
