Which animals, besides cats or dogs, would you give a ride to or intentionally let in your home with barely a second thought?

    Personally, and it might end me one day, but almost any kinda lizard I think I’d welcome in.

    Also sometimes groundhogs look like they might like a brief lift to another patch of dirt to dig around in, or I dunno, maybe a brief snack run.

    I’m not letting anything in my house that’s not reasonably certain to be housetrained.

    I suppose if it’s a short ride or in an outdoor space, anything non-venomous and between the size of a fly and a goose is cool. (Bats are honorarily venomous, because they carry hella disease)

    Elephant. Never met one outside the zoo, but I imagine they would be hard to say “no” to.

    Foxes. Which is unfair, as they are basically a mixture of cats and dogs. Also sharks, though that may be hard to do. Not impossible.

        Can confirm. The smell level is equal to the cute level.

        But on the other hand…

      Cruising on a boat, spot a shark fin, “Hey pal want a tow?” Or if the boat has some kinda bay, “Flop aboard for a ride sharko!”

    All the cats around us are mostly feral and won’t even come close. Letting them in would result in piss, shit, and marking everywhere. I happily try to feed them some treats here and there, but no way they’re coming inside the house.

    Probably a capybara, or a cheetah. Both are rather chill animals, and cheetahs are fairly able to be domesticated (and have been multiple times throughout history) at least compared to other big cats.

    Both are still a really bad idea, and the latter will probably result in injury or death. After having interacted with two Cheetahs through a rehab centre, I’d be open to try.

      Both are rather chill animals,

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LItix3t1bO4

      That video kind of gave the impression that a cheetah might go from being apparently pretty chill to being an asshole pretty unexpectedly.

        To be fair, “domesticated” cats are as well and no doubt to the same degree. It’s just that due to their size they’re not in a position to do much to you.

        I certainly get randomly attacked by my cats whenever they get a bee in their bonnet, or want something, or are bored, or because it’s Tuesday, etc. The rest of the time they’re chill.

      Had a neighbor’s mini donkey escape last year and found it grazing outside our fence line. She lived in our front yard for several days while we searched for her owner. She was a Super chill animal who liked to stand inside a dog kennel we had setup.

      Secomding this. My fiancée and I have a standing rule that if we ever find an abandoned guinea pig, we’re taking them in. We have spare cages and our two piggies would be more than happy to have another friend.
