If your house pet was human would you still love them?

[Ylfa]

I just discovered part of another animal’s trachea under my bed pillow otherwise I would vote yes, YANBU, dog people are go. But it’s a YABU here, some dog skills don’t transfer well to the domestic environment. 😞

She's no trouble, but she's incredibly lazy and spends all day in bed. That would irk me if she was human teenager!

That's a relief, Jesus!
I would actually like my dog and two cats to be human children, not so sure about adults.
Ddog as an adult human would definitely end up in prison for randomly attacking the occasional dog. She's fine with 9/10 of them, it's just the odd one. Dcat1 is a greedy bastard who steals dcat2's food, taking her favourite sleeping spot next to me on the bed and beats up ddog, but in general they are less trouble than the actual children.

Absolutely not. I think my dog would be a misogynistic pig if he were a human.

So.. would these humans then retain the physical capabilities they have in their animal form?

So a human who can actually lick her own arsehole...

A human that leaps about from house plant to houseplant, catching flies and likes a lot of time in the bath or stuck to a window...

How will i even house the 40+ who currently live in a tank of water... flood the ground floor so they can suction them selves to the inside of my windows...

No i think they're better off in pet form, if they could just understand english and particularly the phrases:

'I actually preferred that without wee on it'..

'Please don't try to eat him, he has spikes, this will end badly for you both...'

'Stamping on your friends head to get to flies is rude!'

That would be nice :D

(No ive not stated which species my pets are.. happy guessing!)

Based on the fact I get fed up with my OH for lack of housework, having two new housemates who sleep 22 hours a day would be a no!

No, my cat is a yowly, moody little gremlin who wants attention but only the certain amounts of attention, thankyouverymuch, (as in, “you can pet my face but don’t pick me up, I’ll sit on your lap but you may only stroke me three times” that sort of thing).

She’s lucky she’s a cute little kitty or she’d be out.

@EnglishMcSwedeFace she's knitting a jumper , this is the yarn she's using if anyone's curious.

Oh god YES! My 2 Siberian cats are disdainful of everything - I'd LOVE to hear their commentary on politics :) The ass licking and adoration of DH would be my cross to bare for their company....

Hmmm. Whines incessantly for food but refuses to eat what I serve up, hogs the bed, wakes me up by sitting on me, constantly misses the toilet and wees on the floor, unpredictable temper, has to be reminded that drinking is essential for life, grumbles all the time, rios paper up for fun, plays a little too aggressively.

That’s just a description of my son. I think I’d manage it in my cats.

Emmmm no my fur baby would be one of those on MN asking where the Naice ham is

And why the lodger me is so annoying when all she wants to do is rest on the laptop / book/ letter/ post

She's also be one to complain re that one who keeps coming in our garden for a shit

No, I don't think I could cope with a human that followed me everywhere, watched me use the toilet and bathe, stole my clothes to sleep on (in fact I'd probably report that to the police!) Stole my food when I wasn't looking, ditto for cups of tea, tried constantly to lick my face (police again maybe!) Picked fights with people 3 times their size and expect me to sort it out, and looks and sniffs at their own arse when they farted.

I love my little furry stalker though 🥰

3 grown adults and a septuagenarian waking me up at 5am because they want to chase foxes and have a wee whilst sniffing each other's bum.

Erm no, I don't think I'd even like them let alone love them!

Not if he smelled the way he does now. Nobody would want him near. Stinky dog.

No, I wouldn't tolerate a man who jumped on my face for attention, or who bites my ankles for fun, who stole food chased my hair and though it was something to swing from, crapped and expected me to clean it, burped on me after eating while licking his own bum, was a lazy git and slept in the most inconvenient places and dived and swung on my computer while working! I do however love my beautiful purry boy 😻

My dogs would be the nicest humans ever.

Both have the sweetest temperaments ever.

Christ no. I live with scrappydoo, he'd be an arsehole if he was human. It's only character because he's a dog. And that's before we deal with the arse licking, muddy paws, dog hair, dripping water everywhere when he has a drink, following me everywhere and the sock stealing.
On the positive side, he's very affectionate and funny and he looks at me with total adoration.

If my cat was human she'd basically be a carbon copy of my eldest daughter. Thick, dark, shaggy hair; sleeps a lot; overly and unnecessarily timid, antisocial, only wants to cuddle at inconvenient times.

Except the cat is cleaner.

I don’t have pets atm so my answer is about my late cat: NO, NO and NO. She would be selfish, demanding and cruel bitch with long nails spending her time plotting her revenges and focusing on her appearance. She was bossing me a lot while she was a cat so even the thought of her being human is unbearable.
I’m nice, kind and prone to anxiety.

Dog 1 would likely be an affectionate but very nosey person. Could live with that.
Dog 2 would probably be serving a life sentence in maximum security somewhere.

No way. My dog is a right dickhead.

Nope. As someone who has woken up to a runny cat shit on my duvet... she only gets away with that as she's so damn cute and fluffy. A human shitting on my duvet in the night would be institutionalised.

@ForTheHorde

One is a needy fucker following me around the house desperate for attention, is desperately jealous and has a vendetta against my son the other constantly whinges that he’s hungry but refused to act like other cats and go find his own snacks in between meals.

I’d definitely be in the LTBs camp.

This is a near perfect description of my DD (4) all in one (replace cats with other kids)

This made me laugh more than it should have 🤣

And although this is about house pets, Dog 2 would have company if I were asked the same question about the horse I look after!
