What pet would you have?

Anything is possible and there would be no chance of your pet eating or mauling you. What would you have?

I'd have Falcor the Luck Dragon from The Neverending Story because he's amazing. Or a Hippogriff because they're badass.

Tiger, mountain lion, jaguar any of the big cats. I'd give them catnip all the time.

RedRiverHog · 04/01/2019 22:38

Many types of dinosaurs.

BellMcEnd · 04/01/2019 22:40

Pantalaimon, the Daemon from His Dark Materials

Or Shantih the horse from the Jinny At Finmory series of books.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/01/2019 22:55

I'd love a baby elephant.

fruitpastille · 04/01/2019 22:56

Nana from Peter Pan. Free childcare!

Dowser · 04/01/2019 22:56

Shitzu

FreshlyWashed · 04/01/2019 23:18

Dowser I've got one and wouldn't recommend - mine is a nightmare.

I'll have a niffler and an aardvark, please.

Drogosnextwife · 04/01/2019 23:19

Tiger or wolf, they are so majestic Grin

iklboo · 04/01/2019 23:22

One of each of the big cats
A polar bear
An elephant (one of each)
A niffler
A Kneazle

Queenfreak · 04/01/2019 23:22

I'd love a happy loving dog. Not exotic- but I'm severely allergic, so it's never happening.
Or a house cat.

Sausagefingers9 · 04/01/2019 23:23

A lion. I love cats and dogs and that is the ultimate cat/dog.

DaysOfCurlySpencer · 04/01/2019 23:25

A sloth, a hippo an aardvark, a pangolin, a capybara and a Komodo dragon to start with, or maybe a pair of each so they wouldn't be lonely.

Pissedoffdotcom · 04/01/2019 23:27

BellMcEnd i used to love those books!!!

I'd have a unicorn as DD would never forgive me. A dragon just cos. Then loads of dogs, cats, reptiles & giraffes

Tippytappytoes · 04/01/2019 23:27

A Raccoon. They are my spirit animal.

OnlineAlienator · 04/01/2019 23:28

A moose.

iklboo · 04/01/2019 23:29

And a Bogwoppit

waterplease · 04/01/2019 23:35

Probably a wolf and lots of cocker spaniels

abacucat · 04/01/2019 23:38

Goats, but they have to be wearing pyjamas all the time. And a couple of sloths.

Fenris Wolf :)

iklboo · 04/01/2019 23:44

But only pets as in they have a massive roaming area and can come & go as they please.

Knittedfrog · 04/01/2019 23:49

I love animals. It's too hard to pick! Just sail the ark this way and I'll have two of everything!

duckthisshit · 04/01/2019 23:58

A unicorn 🦄 😍

ArseholesOnToast · 05/01/2019 00:02

I’d have a pair of sun bears.

TinselAndKnickers · 05/01/2019 00:04

I would also have a raccoon. One comes to the pub near me every Monday for the quiz and eats his grapes. He’s delightful!

I might even get him a baby kangaroo to be mates with because how hilarious would that be hopping about.
