What is your ultimate dream pet?

[Soubriquet]

Doesn’t have to be one that can be domesticated. It can be literally any animal

My dream would be a fennec fox. I know people keep them as pets sometimes, but it wouldn’t be ideal whilst I’m in rented accommodation. Plus they are very pricey and require a lot of special attention and needs.

My other dream pet is a sphinx cat but my dh can’t stand them. He hates naked cats

In Fantasyland, a flying squirrel. Particularly this one

I’d like several donkeys and enough land for them to live their best life.

My dream pet would be someone else's pet.
I'm so over the heartbreak when they die, the vets costs, the extra cleaning, the commitment and restrictions.

Poitou donkeys and bearded collies (although as a renter, all pets are dream ones - can't even hang a picture of a pet let alone keep one!)

I would love a cat if I could guarantee it wouldn't kill any small animals, jump on the kitchen surfaces or shed hair.

Also if it it would sit on my lap and let me stroke it.

Such cats must exist but I'm not sure how to guarantee I get one and not one of the aloof ones that hates you and kills mice 🤣.

Giraffe

In fact, can I please just have a team of about 20 small furry woodland creatures who live in dens around the house, never wee or poo, love to cuddle, stage small shows for my entertainment and clean the house in their spare time?

Pine marten. Sitting on my shoulder like pantalaimon

Panda

Black panther x

A sloth, they seem happy with their lot in life and are so cute, who doesn’t want to hang around all day sleeping and eating! Sounds perfect and I’d happily join my imaginary sloth pet in those activities

In reality I’m happy with my gorgeous dog, she has the personality somewhere in between a grumpy old man and a stroppy teenager and we get on so well, she’s my little furry sidekick and we are together 24/7

@OrigamiOwl mine would be 29 stone of floof, and 1 stone of bear.

Naked cats😂😂😂

I’m very boring, already have two cats I always dreamed of. I even brought home a kitten when I was a child and my mum didn’t allow me to keep it😭 I would also like to have german shepherd, cocker spaniel and dachshund. I know I will have to pick one of these though.

100% a slow loris but sadly they are exotic and also pretty poisonous. Other than that.. cutest things on earth

A Great Dane - never going to happen, we live in a small house and I don't think I'm up to the challenge.

A Maine Coon cat - love their slightly wild looks and big ears. Could be possible one day!

In fantasy land an otter or an owl that would sit on my shoulder and fix people with a beady glare.

My fantasy animals would be some pangolins and the appropriate forest and land to keep them safe from poaching.
They are such beautiful creatures and so vulnerable.

A pet red squirrel that would sit on my shoulder while I feed it nuts and go for walks with me, either scampering through the trees or sitting on my shoulder. I would also love a unicorn that I could ride through the countryside, with my 🐿️ perched up front obvs.

An armadillo, a meerkat and a penguin for me please!

This is a lovely idea and would be wonderful.

I’d like to rehome a donkey, I’ve already picked out her name (assuming she doesn’t mind me changing it!).

I also want to get some ex battery hens once we move into our new home.

I already have my lovely cats (3 rescues and a Maine Coon). My dream would be to have a place large enough to have more cats, and a large garden that is cat proofed (to prevent them escaping) or a giant catio. If I was rich, I'd just surround myself with lots of cats.

Other dream pets: horses, and dogs. Again though, I'd need a larger place (and a life routine that would allow me to keep these pets and look after them/exercise them properly!)

I am also a miniature poodle owner who was coming on to post a very similar message. I love her so much. She's so funny, loving, cute and clever I couldn't ask for a better companion

Always fancied having a hare. A raven (they are notoriously intelligent) might also be on my list. And some otters - got to have some otters!

When I win the lottery (that I don't play) I'll buy a house with loads of land and will have some companion horses. The ones that can't be ridden or are old and retired, so I can take them on nice walks around the grounds and spend ages just brushing and fussing them and watch them play with they friends in the fields. Such lovely animals

Good point, it definitely needs to be otters plural so they could play together. Obviously they would like in a large lake in the grounds of my stately home but would be tame enough to scamper alongside while I strolled around my parkland.
