@LadyLiberty0 @aroacespidey Unfortunately people don't know better.. like a lot of people think hamsters will benefit from a buddy. Meanwhile most hamsters will literally fight to the death
@LadyLiberty0 @aroacespidey I don't know as much about hamsters as I'd like, but I do know they're one of the most neglected and abused "baby's first pet" victims
They're so small and fragile and people give them to literal toddlers like they're a toy and stuff them in an enclosure smaller than a shoe box
@AriesSanguis @aroacespidey Good!!
And in addition to all this, a parent has to be ready to pick up the slack if the kid loses interest or just can't handle it after all!
@2Wildinertia@RatthewVT@MetalCatViking1 No. I've been reviewed by more than one professional regarding being a therian
It does not meet the requirements to be called a delusion or psychosis or mental illness
Nor is it detrimental to me in any way
@kvvltfvvck@XXANASHH@aroacespidey If you're going to be gone 3-4 days without anyone as much as checking in on them without it being an absolute emergency and you really tried to get someone to check in... That's neglect with damn near any other animal
So why are cats the exception
@kvvltfvvck@XXANASHH@aroacespidey You only clean the litterbox every two days?
Just because your cat allows that doesn't mean you should be doing it....
You should strive for the best care possible for the creature in your care
Would you like your toilet to be flushed only once every couple of days?
