    All the cats around us are mostly feral and won’t even come close. Letting them in would result in piss, shit, and marking everywhere. I happily try to feed them some treats here and there, but no way they’re coming inside the house.

    Personally, and it might end me one day, but almost any kinda lizard I think I’d welcome in.

    Also sometimes groundhogs look like they might like a brief lift to another patch of dirt to dig around in, or I dunno, maybe a brief snack run.

    Ferret. They’re awesome pets and blind as hell. If you see one roaming around, he’s probably lost.

    A red panda. Sure, my cats would freak the hell out, but a red panda would quickly use their zen powers to calm them down.

    Elephant. Never met one outside the zoo, but I imagine they would be hard to say “no” to.

      But then you wouldn’t be able to ignore the elephant in the room.

    Our house is old. We have spiders. They’re not venomous and they’re pretty cool. I have to occasionally rescue them from the old farm sink downstairs.

    Spiders.

    They protect my plants from gnats and hide out during the day to not disturb or frighten me. Best roommates I’ve ever had.

    Probably a capybara, or a cheetah. Both are rather chill animals, and cheetahs are fairly able to be domesticated (and have been multiple times throughout history) at least compared to other big cats.

    Both are still a really bad idea, and the latter will probably result in injury or death. After having interacted with two Cheetahs through a rehab centre, I’d be open to try.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LItix3t1bO4

      That video kind of gave the impression that a cheetah might go from being apparently pretty chill to being an asshole pretty unexpectedly.

        To be fair, “domesticated” cats are as well and no doubt to the same degree. It’s just that due to their size they’re not in a position to do much to you.

        I certainly get randomly attacked by my cats whenever they get a bee in their bonnet, or want something, or are bored, or because it’s Tuesday, etc. The rest of the time they’re chill.

        I like how casual her “ow” sounded when being mauled by a cheetah
