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!
Me too! I would have them as pets again as an adult, but I’ve told myself no more pets with short natural lifespans because I’ve had to say goodbye to a enough pets in my life that it’s starting to take its toll (grew up with rats, budgerigars and chickens and they all have shortish lifespans 5-8 years goes by faster than you think)
It’s depressing really. Why I’m not interested in having rats/mice/similar.
I still miss my budgie. I hate how such incredible little dudes have such short lifespans. And when people go “oh there are so many you can just get another” they miss the point, because none of the others are him and have his personality
