Your Ultimate IRL pet?
I was having an argument with my friend the other day about what would make the ultimate fantasy pet in the real world?
He decided on a baby panda that never grew up, and could roll around sandshrew style by curling up into a ball.

I on the other hand think that a fully grown, totally harmless grizzly bear that is not properly affected by gravity would be the best. It kind of just floats along... and is confused by what's happening permanently. Kind of like this:

Let me know which of these guys you think would be the coolest, and also any other ideas you think beat it'Aside from getting rescued what is it you do?'

Personally I consider black bears and polar bears cuter than grizzlies.

A pocket-sized unicorn.
Or anything pocket-sized, really. Smaller = cuter and cooler. Also = less food and less mess.
A pocket-sized giraffe would be excellent.

Re: Your Ultimate IRL pet?
In an ideal world I would have a pet cheetah (or more likely two) and a large estate they could run around in. Of course, that would also be totally impractical. In fact, I wouldn't say no to any big cat as a pet, provided it was properly domesticated (lol that). Ever since seeing Ring of Bright Water as a child, I've also wanted a pet otter.
If I lived a few hundred years ago, I'd definitely be into falconry and have a few hunting birds. I know that it's still possible, but not exactly common these days. It's more of an occupation than a pastime.
More realistically, but still pretty unlikely to happen, I'd like a pair of ferrets.
I'm happy enough with domestic cats, though.Last edited by Aedilred; 2012-11-16 at 09:21 PM.

Re: Your Ultimate IRL pet?
Yes. though I'd want one a bit bigger, like in that DirecTV commercial. Ever since that came out I've said that if they could do that to a giraffe, I'd pay pretty much any price to get one. It's just too awesome not to.

Re: Your Ultimate IRL pet?
The interesting thing about cheetahs is that they can be tamed and trained, but humans failed to domesticate them because we can't get them to breed in captivity. It's too bad, we were so close to everyone being able to own a rocket cat.
Since I'm allergic to dogs and my parents are allergic to cats, I'd say one of those intelligent speaking owls that run around from time to time. Like Archimedes.

Cat.
Out of all these, either a small house cat or a big cat of some kind would be awesome.
If you mean a fantasy pet... pseudodragon. Small, gorgeous, and a conversation starter. People will go "wow" if you have a pseudodragon."I'm just going on motive and opportunity here and the fact that if the earth got swallowed by a black hole, I'd look suspiciously in your direction first."

He'd love to be able to chase the magpies (although I think he's too old, even with bat-wings).

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Your Ultimate IRL pet?
Honestly, a sentient AI. Not sure if that counts as a pet, though. More like a "friend."
