Can confirm. My brothers dog is my best buddy and all I do is play fetch, give him treats and scritches.
Fixed version:
Kindly request we add chickens.
I think it would be equal fun as ferrets but the effort of a cat.
That thing depicted there looks like a 7-9mo old baby. That’s when things get fun, but still a lot of effort.
12-16m is when shit gets real. theyre mobile.
thats just the hormones telling you not to chuck it then and there the real fun begins circe 17years in
Damn I wish I had a dragon to ravage the world with
Nice idea but this graph is just wrong
The scale on this graph cant be accurate.
Its not a similar jump in effot between a parakeet and a cat as a cat and a horse.
Perhaps it’s logarithmic. Which makes the magnification needed to see sea monkeys even more impressive.
I found the odd one out: tamagotchis aren’t pets, they aren’t even real
Neither are dragons.
Pay no attention to my downvote I just think its funny to argue they are real.
Maybe they are for you…
…in that case you are delusional. Seek help
Parakeets are also on there and they’re not real either.
Not exactly. They are governmental drones but as such a very real threat
Bunnies are the best!
But not really less effort than a cat unless you just keep them in a cage, which you shouldn’t do. We had a house rabbit, and I really loved it, but rabbits like to (need to) chew, and bunny-proofing your home is a huge pain. But otherwise they’re kind of similar: easy to litter train, very individual personalities, etc.
Mine have that oxbow compressed hay house! I find packing tape on corners they like to chew on stops then from doing so
Good ideas, but probably not adequate for things like electrical cords.
The snake is way too low on the fun factor. Just try letting it out when everybody’s at the house drinking, and watch the hi-jinx!
I had a girlfriend who had a snake, It didn’t really bother me in and of itself, but I just found the whole food situation to be disgusting. It was either eating live grasshoppers (those things are creepy as hell) or dead mice.
I was quite happy to hold it though, at least once I was assured that it wasn’t going to constrict my arm off.
Goldfish require a ton of effort. They need huge tanks, water filtration systems, chemical balancing (nitrate buildup can kill them pretty quickly), and regularly scheduled feeding times. Dogs on the other hand just need to be taken outside every few hours and fed two or three times a day on top of the occasional vet visit.
Not if you stick em in a bowl and let them die in a few months.
Fortunately I don’t see too many people sticking dogs in bowls.
Yeah, all that stuff about filtration systems and big tanks sounds way more expensive than just buying a new goldfish every couple of months.
parakeets should be up there with dragons
My bird yelling at me for 3 hours because he’s jealous I looked at my other bird for a second
I love them so much
I have a friend who’s gotten into hermit crab rescue with his wife, and if you’re only expending the effort shown on this chart, congratulations you’re an abusive pet owner.
You forgot about the pet rock
Am I owning cats wrong? Cats are easy as fuck. You just take care of Vet/Food/Poop they do the rest
Hell yeah cats are a piece of cake to look after. You can’t completely neglect them but they do largely take care of themselves.
The hardest part about owning cats is when you put the complicated cat scratching post/bed thing together.
Imho dogs are easier than cats. Cats vomit all over the place in weird spots so it’s a constant cleaning struggle. Dogs, once trained, are pretty straightforward
What kind of weird sick cat did you have?
Pretty normal for cats to cough up hairballs a couple times a month
Depends on the breed. Multiple times a month is not usual for short-haired breeds
Depends on the cat. We could probably leave our cat completely alone for two weeks straight if the food pail was left open, not that he’d be happy about it.
