Reposting a question I saw on reddit like a decade ago. My favorite answer I read was, “I’d take my 100 dogs home and live like a king.”
Personally, I have two cats, Sansa and Shere Khan. For both, I could significantly narrow down the options by seeing which cats meowed at me the most. (I swear I didn’t teach them to yell, but here we are.) For both, I could bring in a dog to discern which cats weren’t scared of dogs. For Sansa, I could wait until dinnertime and put down some wet food, then see who hems and haws about eating it despite having screamed for it. That might not be enough to get it down to just one each, but oh well. I could use 5 or 10 more cats.


He would come to me on his own. He’s the goodest of good boys and loves me infinitely. My only problem is that he loves people too much. “Hey that’s another human who hasn’t petted me!” But he always comes back and wags his tail because he’s proud that everyone loves him the way that he loves everyone.
