I personally prefer parrots over every other type of pet, as I find I have complete empathy for their situational reactions. If happy, they talk a lot, and sometimes need to scream. Their idea of a good time is tearing shit apart and coming up with games like "Throw ball on floor and wait for owner to get it while calling ‘come here’ ".
They develop instantaneous crushes during which they have no idea who their previous crush was, but when they get tired they always want to go back to the same person. Biting is sometimes a really fun game. When they get horny they will first try to have sex with their favorite living thing and when that doesn’t work, experiment with every toy in sight.
Lastly, these animals are smart enough to hold a grudge when appropriate. My little bird is in love with my boyfriend, and acts happy for about 5 minutes when he comes back. Then he starts looking for an opportunity to lace his ear open for leaving him. Once this is accomplished, it’s back to the loving.[/quote]
Pets must take on the traits of their owner, either that or owners are attracted to them because of affinity to the pet’s traits.[/quote]
If you have something like a dog, it may pick up your traits, which is another reason why they’d be my last choice of a companion. Who the fuck wants something that panders to their whim like that?
The only thing you can do with a cat or a parrot is establish things that they probably shouldn’t do, such as biting or destroying massive chunks of your house, or pooping on your computer monitor. Other than that, they’re their own animal.

Another reason why they’re such an awesome pet! Although, if a cat truly likes you, good luck getting away.

I’ve always loved cats.
My one cat is the cutest most loving little fuzzball in the world until you let her outside. Then she turns into apex predator/dog trainer extraordinaire. She slinks up the tree line into the field and returns minutes later with a rabbit. She holds the rabbit until the dog comes outside, then plops it down for the doggy to have a nice bunny snack.
In return for her kindness, she is the only one of my cats that the dog lets cuddle up with her at night when they sleep.

I’ve only had one kitten that I liked and that one could scare off my basset hound and lab.[/quote]
My cat prior to the ones I have now let my dog know who was boss right off the bat. As we brought the dog through the door she whacked Puppy right in the nose from up on a chair. Pup never even looked directly at her since.
Puppy is a lab/pit that destroys raccoons then proudly trots around the yard with her catch before eating it.
Bears! I feel like a bear, and people tell me I remind them of a bear.
If I could, I would have maybe 3 or 4 bears as pets.
I like bears.
Forme it would be either a bear or a wolf. Cave bear and dire wolf if they didn’t die out.

why do you prefer to keep a certain type of pet? What is it about the species, or family of animal that works for you?[/quote]
I’m a little confused. Is the question, “Why do we have the pets we have?” or “What’s your spirit animal/what do you identify with?”
As pets, we currently have two cats and a dog (10yr old, 70-pound pit mix). The dog and one cat were strays we took in off the street*. All of their personalities are a riot. Especially since the fatso 11-pound stray cat frequently intimidates and slaps around the pit (both are female), asserting her reign as queen of the castle.
-
- The dog was actually lost, not totally stray. We eventually tracked down the owner who, even though they raised her from a puppy, basically said, “Yeah, um, you can just keep her.” She’s a ginormous sweetheart, so it was a no-brainer.
As far as an ideal pet I’d most identify with, definitely a porcupine.
I’m generally easy-going and just try to go along doing my own thing. Confrontation-wise, I believe in giving every opportunity for you to not start trouble, but in the end, if something starts, it will end badly for you regardless of the lumps I take in the process.
Also, rubbing my soft underbelly is always a safe and good idea.
I want a monkey. I will teach my monkey to dance for women until they take clothing items off. His dance will become more and more complex the more naked she gets.
Than I will feed my monkey “monkey treats” for doing such a great job…but then, he will have to wait downstairs while we knock boots and he will be alone and scared.
Oh, and cats are of the Devil.

Mine was a two timing cat slut >_< Twice he ran away to some crazy cat lady!
Special thanks to DaVinci for helping to prove my point. Even PushHarder proved my point by admitting he’d want a hippo and a weapon with some range on it.
Porcupine? Psh. A badger will actively attack a lion, not just count on his ‘armor.’
