Someone: âI want a cat/rabbit/other animal that will be super openly affectionate, go for walks, play fetch, not mind being handled rough, never be shy, and also I donât want it to claw me or the furniture(so Iâll probably get it declawed) and I donât want to ever clean a litter box or cage.â
Me: âHey thereâs this great new type of animal you might be interested in:â
Someone: âI want a dog but I donât ever want to take it for walks or exercise it very much or let it outside and I want it to be fine with being left alone for longer periods of time and also never bark.â
Me:
Someone: âI want a cat or dog but I want to only feed it a vegan diet.â

Someone: âI want to have a pet but I basically never want to interact with it.â
Me:
Someone: âI want to get my kid a cute pet for Easter/Christmas!â
Me:
Get a pet that fits your needs. Donât get a pet then try to force it to fit your lifestyle. Just because you saw a person walking a rabbit once doesnât mean you can expect a rabbit to just be a dog. Just get a dog!
