>the benefits and drawbacks of owning said pets
- not quite as affectionate as cats or dogs
- dumb. like, really fuckin dumb.
- they pee on you sometimes (although that behavior dies out after some time)
+ they remain cute forever
+ quiet; they only squeak when they want food
+ they live in a cage and don't destroy things or steal your food, but also don't get annoyed by any amount of handling.
+ couch potatoes. don't require much activity or exercise.
+ you get to watch meat eater NPCs get pissy and threaten to call animal control when you tell them you raise your pets on a vegan diet
Carter Powell
i had a guinea pig one time and he was actually really loud and messy.

>goes full autismo at 6 am and I have to let him outside if I wanna sleep
Lincoln Edwards
Did he live alone? Because if that's the case he might've been screaming for attention.
You have to get 2 or more, otherwise they will literally go insane.
Daniel James
Oh fuck, I didn't know that
yeah he did live alone. not to be mean but what a fucking terrible pet.
Joshua Ward
>Chihuahua, female
Nice and quiet, she asks to go outside, nit a bitch like the rest of the Chihuahuas I've met.
Sometimes shits on the carpet like a cunt
Not sure if this is a drawback or not but will eat messes like rabbit shit and spilled food
>Mutt cat long-haired and black/brown, male
Cuddly as fuck, lapcat, likes to be pet, instead of begging for food, begs for pets
Has dreads in his back, doesn't clean himself, we have to shave his back now
>Rabbit, grey, male
Cute, loves his human mama more than me, likes to explore the bed
Drinks like a motherfucker, poos and pisses the bed, don't know him enough to tell you more about him
Easton Jackson
If you have three cute pets and a wife/gf (I assume), what brings you to r9k?
Jose Carter
Nah, if you get two it's god-tier, especially if they're friendly with one another. They're quiet, they keep each other company, they only eat fruits and veggies (and hay), they like to cuddle with you but won't annoy you with their clinginess.
They're perfect imo
Caleb Bailey
Sorry, by mama I mean my literal mother. The Chihuahua and rabbit are my mother's, dread cat is pretty much mine. I come to r9k because my two only friends are a cat and my chad brother.

We all manage somehow. I'm afraid to calculate how much I spend monthly on cleaning supplies to ensure my home does not smell like a zoo.
Caleb Scott
can i habe a doggy pls
Jackson Jones
I like this guy. he knows where its at, rats and mice are good pets, had one in like elementary school and was so attached to him I buried him. or atleast my grandma said she buried him. and when I mean elementary school I mean waaaaaaaaaaay back, like kindergarten and preschool
Jason Ward
Fug, are they good with cats? or will the cat maul it to death? I'd imagine it would be fine if the cat was like a new born or something and played with them, yeah?

>Pretty much trained herself to poop outside when since I got her 2 weeks ago
>doesn't go into the house unless I tell her too

I don't know what to do with this thing bros, I've never really cared much for any of the pets I've ever owned before, but every time I look at this dog it's perfect
Can't help think I'm a bad owner
What do?
Julian Jenkins
>Fug, are they good with cats?
They never seem to bite under any circumstances. They're super passive and not-aggressive.
>or will the cat maul it to death?
Depends on the cat. If the cat is quite gentle, the guinea pig will be fine. Guinea pigs don't generally seem to know when they're in danger, so they're sort of vulnerable.
But piggies are best kept away from aggressive/territorial animals and children who play rough because they're kind of delicate.
>I'd imagine it would be fine if the cat was like a new born or something and played with them, yeah?
Yes, as long as the cat isn't too aggressive and doesn't bite hard enough to break skin.
Leo Morgan

Caleb Cruz
I love my pup but I don't take him out nearly enough. I'm all depressed and it makes him depressed too. I need to do something nice for him, take him to the park or some shit.

>always happy to see me
Cons
>barks when you leave it alone (teehee sorry neighbors)
>begs for food when I'm eating
>have to let it out to shit and then pick it up
Carson Lopez
Everything about my cat is wonderful except that he has on two occasions brought back half alive torn up baby birds that I had to get off him and then mercy kill with a brick. Actually now I'm wondering if the pros actually outweigh the cons or not cause that really fucked me up.
Brandon Cooper
I just got one of these, and I have two cats. They are both very submissive, so if they do get near the piggy, normally they chase each other around and the pig seems like the dominant one. Pretty fun to watch actually
Pro's;
cute as fuck
don't feel so alone
easy to maintain
cons;
some cleaning ie cat litter, piggys box
feeding piggy his favorite veggys (carrots seem to be his #1 thank god for cheap food)
cats don't always get along with one another
Gabriel Wilson
My silver arow is a pretty good pet. I have to clean his tank once a week to keep the water perfect and he sometimes splashes water around if someone he hasn't seen before goes near the tank. I think he might have autism. Had him about 5 years not
