I want a Gir to follow me round, and Salem to come home to. That's the perfect combination right there^

Oh, and a judo grizzly to fly around on. Yeah, NOW we're talking

You never heard his Doom song? It was in the first episode of the series.

Mine would be a psuedodragon. I played one once in DnD. Funnily enough though, I threw a potion at a quest givers head (she was a witch in an alchemist shop or something, potions all over the walls) and her head blew up. DM hated me for that.

A flock of diverse and beautiful tropical birds. All of which have been trained to follow obey commands I whistle at them (and ONLY to obey my commands).

A single one will lead the group, actually landing near a person I point out to them and whispering "We're waiting for you! Soon, hahahaha, soon!"

I will then travel the country, using this flock on solitary people on a whim. No one will ever believe their stories.

Human. Female. Chose it's situation. Does some cleaning up in addition to the normal pet expectations, like being cute & such. (I know a few people who do this sort of thing & watching them do it makes me want to take them home in the same way that watching a cat being cute & playing does. This seems to make them very happy, which is part of it. I get a lot of the pieces of this from my girl, which is nice.)

Cats are also great. My girl & I have a couple munchkin kitties.

A mouse-chasing budgie with night vision goggles. But I'd give her to Kneenibnle.

Don't know if you can rightly define women as 'pets', but ok, each to their own

If an animal walks on fours, cuddles, is cute, is playful & wears a collar, then it seems to me to be a pet. (Though I suppose the collar can be optional.) A human is certainly an animal & can certainly do those things. My girl does 2 of them all the time & 4 of them at various times, which is not enough to make her a pet. I have friends who do all 5 very consistently & often find what they're doing to be cute in the same way that I find a cat playing with a string to be cute. It's entirely separate from romantic notions.

I'm sorry, but you're still referring to women as pets
No way you describe it will make me share your view comrade

...Some of the people who do this sort of thing are male.

But no worries. I'm not trying to convince you to share my view. I am merely clarifying it so people don't get the wrong idea.

Really, it's no different morally than wanting your dog or cat to be able to speak English & have a greater understanding of the scope of the world.

What Thajocoth is talking about is a particular kink some people have. It's fine as long as the women pets he has are there willingly, and there are more than a few that would be if they were otherwise attracted to him physically and/or emotionally.

By the same token, there are people that would happily be someone's toy or someone's slave. As long as noone's getting hurt and everyone's a consenting adult, I don't see a problem.

"Kink" has certain implications of arousal which may or may not apply depending on the individual, but I'd say that's otherwise accurate.

Granted, plenty of other things with the "kinky" label are things I'd describe as "fun" not "arousing", so perhaps I'm wrong about the implication.

This is getting dangerously close to... stuff. If anyone wishes to continue this particular sub-sub-vein of discussion related to terms like "kink" or "arousal", PMs might be better than posts. There's a reason I used the term "romantic notions" instead of "kinks" earlier.

EDIT: I would also like to mention that snakes are pretty cool too. My teacher in 5th/6th grade had a Columbian Red Tail Boa Constrictor she let us play with. It was very friendly & affectionate.

I say the ultimate pet for real life would be the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's Fluttershy since she can take care of so much other animals both wild and domesticated.
