Dragon. And anyone who says otherwise isn’t being completely honest with themselves. Everyone wants a dragon.

    The post doesn't say anything about feasibility/safety, so unless you can find dragon tamers for hire and a dragon-proof construction company, you'd likely end up dead and/or with an escaped dragon.

    Also, it was about any pet in the world, so I guess that requires dragons to exist somewhere, sounds like a gamble on if they do...

    You say all that like my safety is a concern. Yeah I want a dragon, yeah I don't care if it eats me. Either it's a cool dragon and my best friend or it's an evil dragon and I get to unleash it upon the world. I'm not seeing a downside.

    My cat. I left home for a bit, I come back to see she's gone. Nobody told me or anything. I know she's fine wherever she is, but I still miss her.

    I'd have my cat. If the devil came acallin' I'd sell my soul for me and the lil guy to be immortal. I could spend eternity in his company and it wouldn't be enough.

    Me too. We're having to put our little guy to sleep tonight, he's too ill. They're pretty sure it's cancer, but he's not stable enough for diagnosis let alone treatment. The poor guy's had basically a soda can's worth of fluid drained from his chest cavity twice in the last 2 months.

    I'm so sorry. I hope you're okay. I had a cat die suddenly a month ago and its been rough. Please take care of yourself.

    My wife is hurting worse than me. He got her through the pandemic, and they really bonded. I opened the cat flap this morning and pulled out his food before I remembered he was gone. Been a tough Saturday.
    Sorry about your friend, it's worse when they go suddenly with no warning. Sending hugs.

    I have answered this the same way every time I've been asked:

    A great big fuck-off raven.

    Probably this thing called an Aye aye.

    When I have guests over, I wouldn't tell them I have it, but I'd train it to sneak up on them in the night and stick it's weird finger in their ear

    Is this some consensual sex thing? If so, will you care for them and love them?

    Some kind of a wild cat like Ocelot would be cool assuming they could behave themselves but since they can't, a normal house cat is just fine too.

    A binturong. They have a fluffy prehensile tail as long as their body and they smell like popcorn!

    Little monkey if they still have full free will and behave like they really would in real life.

    Big gorilla if it was a "magically tame and loves you" situation.

    Annnnny?

    I'd probably have my two old boxers again. Same memories in their heads but as puppies. And guarantees they'll make it to 15.
