Not to brag, but I think I'd make a pretty fabulous pet.
It's something I've had cause to think about a lot lately. I've considered my merits and flaws, and compared myself to how I imagine others would fare-and, all in all, I think I'd be 'Best in Show" quality.
You're probably wondering what criteria I've used to judge my pet-possibilities, so let's delve deeper:
- I'm easy to clean and beautify. I'm a domestic short-hair, or would be if I were a cat. I bite my own nails and keep myself tidy without anyone's help. Admittedly, I am better groomed when someone helps.
- I am a simple eater and do not require any specialty servings. My disinclination to eat sugar makes it even easier to prepare pet-appropriate meals. Just fill up a bowl with cheese!
- I keep busy with the tiniest of entertainment. I don't whimper for outdoor time, and a piece of paper occupies me as much as the fanciest toys.
- I become easily accustomed to anyone and I love most everyone. If I don't like someone, I'm not aggressive, but simply retreat to my corner and hide.
Most people, I think, would topside one category or another and be considered a pet with 'real character', but I'd be more like a harmless (but somewhat strange) fish. I'd just swim along minding my own business, smiling at you as I wander by.
Any pet-keeper would adore me, and tell strangers of how marvelous I am...
Except for that

What about you? Would you make a great pet, or a terrifying one?
