Dragon. And anyone who says otherwise isn’t being completely honest with themselves. Everyone wants a dragon.

I'd have my cat. If the devil came acallin' I'd sell my soul for me and the lil guy to be immortal. I could spend eternity in his company and it wouldn't be enough.
I, also, choose this guy's cat.
Me too. We're having to put our little guy to sleep tonight, he's too ill. They're pretty sure it's cancer, but he's not stable enough for diagnosis let alone treatment. The poor guy's had basically a soda can's worth of fluid drained from his chest cavity twice in the last 2 months.
I'm so sorry. I hope you're okay. I had a cat die suddenly a month ago and its been rough. Please take care of yourself.
My wife is hurting worse than me. He got her through the pandemic, and they really bonded. I opened the cat flap this morning and pulled out his food before I remembered he was gone. Been a tough Saturday.
Sorry about your friend, it's worse when they go suddenly with no warning. Sending hugs.
You haven't considered the horrific things that would undoubtedly happen, especially given infinite time, if you were to follow through on that sale.
For the sake of good taste and sanity, I won't list any here, but I'm sure your imagination can fill in the gap.
I have answered this the same way every time I've been asked:
A great big fuck-off raven.
- Fox (they are so cute)
- Cheetah (pretty and pretty chill)
- Snow Leopard (beautyful fluffy cats)
My cat. I left home for a bit, I come back to see she's gone. Nobody told me or anything. I know she's fine wherever she is, but I still miss her.
My dog Denver, who died a couple years ago. She was so awesome, my little buddy. Lived 18 great years, miss her every day.
Some kind of a wild cat like Ocelot would be cool assuming they could behave themselves but since they can't, a normal house cat is just fine too.
A binturong. They have a fluffy prehensile tail as long as their body and they smell like popcorn!
Capybara. Self-explanatory. It'd chill with me and my dogs.
I got to meet a couple capybaras on a cruise excursion. At one point someone in the crowd got rowdy and upset the male, who had to huddle in a corner and stare at a wall to calm down.
It was sad that we made him uncomfortable, but also pretty cute to watch him sulk.
My dogs. Because I loved them, and still do.
Can I have a pet human or is that too problematic?
Is this some consensual sex thing? If so, will you care for them and love them?
On the advice of my legal counsel, I am choosing to invoke my fifth amendment rights.
It's called having a child, and it's a lot different from any other kind of pet.
Penguin. No reason required.
I'll stick with my dog family

I also choose your dog. /s
Understandable. She's a high-quality, purebred stray from Croatia.
A service dog so to speak. I'm at her service all the time. Snacks? Yes ma'am. Hug? You got it.
The other one is a Polish stray of the finest quality as well.

I wouldn't settle for less than a rescue, they're simply the best.
tbh, I'd rather be the pet.
An army of pet dragonflies.
Never be bothered by mosquitoes again.
You can get a dragonfly on a flexible arm that clips to your hat. Apparently it works pretty well, bugs see a dragonfly floating around your head and fuck right off.
I'm assuming it's a fake dragonfly?
I'll wear the world's most ridiculous hat if it meant mosquitos left me alone. But I don't want a live dragonfly or anything, that's not cool
It is a small plastic dragon fly

Seems like they call out specific types of bugs, such as "visual hunting flies"
Not sure how well this will work for all bugs, mosquitos, etc
I was actually was discussing this with my partner, while real dragonflies eat mosquitoes the fake one doesn't scare them because they aren't smart enough to avoid predators.
Having a thermacell insect repellent device would help with many bugs. You can get a tabletop one if you are in one place and it isn't too windy.
My previous cat from childhood until my early twenties and a Savannah cat.
EDIT: Corrections of the sentence.
A common magpie, specially if it can come and go as it pleases and I don't have to do much.
I want an emu. Specifically, I want to hand-rear one from the egg.
I've done this with chickens and ducks and loved it. Emus are basically just giant chickens anyway.
Right before I was born, my mom had a pet skunk named Petunia. She loved her and talked about her all the time growing up.
Probably this thing called an Aye aye.
When I have guests over, I wouldn't tell them I have it, but I'd train it to sneak up on them in the night and stick it's weird finger in their ear

birds are actually higher maintenance than dogs and cats, more medical costs since you would probably need a vet specializing in birds. also the more exotic the bird the higher the cost, probably cant get toucan or even most macaw species from an ethical source. because of the birds unique respiratory system they would be susceptible to whatever pollution or things you spray in the house.
Pangolin, maybe? It's probably as close as one could get to a pet draco vulgaris.
Capybara are actually supposed to be already pretty cool. Some selective breeding might make them even cooler.
Sloth could be interesting.
There are some aquaria that would be unrealistic to own now but if there were no limits it'd be interesting to have some of the deep sea creatures.
But also, really, if money, time, etc. were no issue, I'd probably take over an entire american state to build an enormous shelter/kennel/animal hospital/rescue centre for the lost, abandoned, unhoused, or otherwise uncared for pets of the world.
Red Panda. It will have to be some kind of outdoor climate controlled enclosure because they will pee anywhere.
A donkey but I don't know how to take care of them
Always fancied Abyssinian cats but I hate that they're bred and cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
You guys get to choose your pets? All of mine just invite themselves in the house and then decide they live there now. I'm not complaining about the situation, but I don't exactly remember having much choice in the matter.
If going of imagination, I want a polar bear. Yeah they're dangerous, but if we assume they're pets then they're just a giant fluff ball.
An American nazi. And I'd abuse the shit out of him!
Even though I don't really want to get a pet because I don't want to get too attached and end up heartbroken when it dies! If I ever change my mind, I'd get a dog. I also really like owls in general, but I don't want to get a bird just to keep it locked in a cage for the rest of its life just because I want to feel like Harry Potter lol!
I want a fully cloned megaraptor. I don't even care if it's trained or not.
just release it in Florida for me when it's done.
A powerful politician. The reasons should be obvious.
Cats and dogs are the best pets but I also make sure to be nice to the crows; and if I could have any group of working animals I would love to have a flock of vultures to rent out to clean up dead animals.
I also often wish for a shoebox sheep, a couple of sheep as small as a very small dogs, as lawnmowers.
A senator. They're apparently a great ROI if you can afford one.
I know here in Canada it's illegal to own a skunk, but there are places you can get them "de-stinked" and have as a pet. They supposedly can be pretty chill too if they're domesticated and not wild.
Be better than a guard dog too IMO. Someone comes on your yard and sees a fart cat they're not going to want to get out of their car.
A giraffe. Because it's a giraffe, I believe no further explanation should be necessary.



FYI they have giraffe hotels where they can just stuck their head in your room
