Particularly interested in hearing from mice and tarantula owners. I don’t really know what there is to like about those specific pets, and it would be nice to hear it from an owner of those pets.

    I’ve got three cats. All males. I like cats because they are fairly low maintenance with a high cuddle return. Especially with an auto feeder. All I have to do is scoop the litter box once a day and I get to pet them when they feel like coming and sitting with me. Watching them interact with each other is entertaining and occasionally will melt your heart with how sweet they are to each other. Here’s a pic of them sitting with me while I play video games.

      I feel my hamster fills a similar role for me, except that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTACES SHOULD THERE EVER BE MORE THAN ONE HAMSTER IN THE SAME SPACE OR THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED

      I like watching him being cute, and he makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I hold him. My favorite thing is watching him react to fresh veggies. He goes nuts for cucumbers. (He also goes nuts after I spot clean his cage and make all his food stashes disappear, but thats a different story)

        Idk what it is but that’s never been a problem for any of my cats. Over the years we’ve had like 6 cats (never more than 3 at once) and they always all shared the box no problem.
