What is your favorite animal?

View all responses

I like animals that can talk and tell me what’s on their minds. I’ve always been very fond of dogs like Scooby doo or Chopper from one piece (anime). Talking animals are cool because you know and can explain boundaries with them. Like, for instance, I have a cat and her name is Chomsky and she has no clue what I mean when I say, “stop jumping on the counter.” No idea at all and it’s frustrating. I can’t even really blame her to be honest. She’s a cat that can’t talk and therefore can’t comprehend, I know that is not always true in every case, but it is with this cat. But if I she could speak and comprehend then theres a situation I could work with. She’d jump on the counter and I’d be like “dude, c’mon we talked about this” and she’d be like “Ahhh shit man, like, my bad, like, I totally forgot you, like, hate when I’m, like, on the counter.” (She’d talk like a preteen because even though she doesn’t speak now, she’s sassy af) then when we’d argue about things around the apartment and play rock paper scissors in order to settle matters. I’d win every time because I have actual digits and she’d just be frustrated because all she can draw is rock and it’d be great. But alas, she can’t speak, so about 30 minutes of my day every day is spent just staring at her while she licks her asshole thinking “I really wish she could explain how that feels to me.”
