He literally tried to open doors and got frustrated when he couldn't reach the handles.

my cat leanred how to open doors

might get a Labrador Retriever, a brown one

so i had to lock the door when i used the bathroom

XD

honestly pets are only really ideal if you live suburban or rural.

Mine can open doors it's very annoying

@Leif_Ericksson99 I think that might be a good choice

@DankChum They become livestock in rural.

@Xychotic I wouldn't really call a barn cat or a hunting dog livestock

Would you call a plow horse livestock?

idk I've never dealt with horses. I just don't see how geographical location turns them into commodities and not pets

That's a lot of typing for a yes or no question.

I didn't say commodity. I said livestock.

That's because, in a rural setting, a "pet" is a value add to your homestead.

I am from a rural area and I agree with @Xychotic

In an urban/suburban setting, a pet is a luxury.

I grew up on a farm and always considered the dog/cat/goats pets

The cows and horses livestock

yeah that's what I was thinking

Dogs didn't heard or anything

@Whats gay anymore We used to treat cows as pets too when I was a kid, but they gave of some milk

@Whats gay anymore how was that?, one of my goals is to move to a semi-rural area and have a small family farm

Still livestock

Loved it

is livestock and pet mutually exclusive?

Well our dogs gave us company and that was it 🤷 I'll call them pets

Yes.

A hunting dog though, I wouldn't call a pet

livestock has real utility; pets are a luxury

@DankChum No, lambs where treated like pets too, still ate them though

Granted, you would probably love the shit out of your hunting dog.

No one I know with a hunting dog loves it

Really?

They go down to boars all the time

They're tossed away

It's sad

like I'd love a friend but that doesn't mean I wouldn't run his pockets when he dies

Oh, boars are fuckin' nuts, though.

same goes for pigs

Well boar hunting is the only reason to have them where I grew up
