Tuxedo or tortie cats please! Also, for inspiration:

Love that the white one appears to be calmly chewing off his/her pal’s ear…
The tuxedo is the cutest, if I’m allowed to play favorites.

ALL. THE. PETS!

HelloYellow · July 21, 2020, 1:40pm

Torties can be sooo dramatic! But 90% of the time tuxedos are involved in some sort of shenanigans. Even when they appear to be resting, they’re plotting.

I love most of the pets! Parrots, puppers, funny fish, lizards, bunnies…

Does this include pets that would be illegal to have as pets?
Does this include fictional pets?
Does this include extinct pets?
Does this include Cryptids as pets?
Does this include that shadow that stares at me while I sleep at night?
Does this include things that you feel are pets but are not really (pet rock, sea monkeys, etc)?
Does this include other people as pets?

As for another comment here, well TIL:

And did I tell you they poop a lot…Leave ten pounds of fish outside to spoil. Then run it through a mixer and pour it out on your floor…fish-stinky poop – That’s what penguin poop is like. Really!

Daaaaang.

I had no idea that Penguins were so aggressive…

In addition to dogs and cats, we’ve been owned by the following and hope to see shirt designs for:

horses (and minis)
donkeys (and minis)
rabbits
ferrets
iguanas
lizards
birds
fish (currently have many)
turtles (currently have 2)

Bring on ALL the possible pets!!!

And colors other than black and shades of grey would be really nice.

A little too late now, but I’m thinking about the old SNL skit “Sprockets” with Mike Meyers. Deiter and his pet monkey. “Touch my monkey! Touch him! Love him!”
