If you could design your own pet

Sign in to disble this ad
If you had the power of creation over life, and you wanted to design the perfect pet for yourself, what would it look like and how would it be different in ways that make it a superior pet that you would want to have.

A few rules:

1) The animal has to fit in with with existing classes (mammal, bird, reptile etc..).

2) It has to follow known laws of physics and biology (no fire breathing dragons, 40 foot tall insects or telekinetic squirrels).



I would like to have a dolphin that could walk on land like its ancestors used to be able to. And really smart. But not smart in the same way as people, like being able to play with fire. Smart in philosophy and able to converse so it would tell me when I was on the wrong track with an idea and could get me to see the big picture.

Of course, such an animal wouldn't likely have much interest in being my pet so maybe I'd have a bird that had hands with opposable thumbs but was kind of dumb.

It would have to play bass, so that means having hands. It would have to be good to cuddle with, and have nice curves. It could also have something nice to grab onto in the upper mid section. Heck, might as well just get a girlfriend.

Half cat, half giant tortoise. I'd call him Cortoise, he would have skin like a tortoise, but no shell, and a long tail, and he would meow rediculously loud and drag it's head on the ground when it walked.

I'd go with the legendary Esquilax. A horse, born with the head of a rabbit, and the body of a rabbit.

That goth chick on a leash, but hotter.

Now if only he WAS a badass, and she WAS hot enough to need restraints.


Perfect pet? Not even an argument here. Pigmy Tyrannosaurus Rex. About 3 feet tall, 5 feet long. I'd take him to the ghetto and let him eat thug rottweilers and pit bulls AAAALL DAAAAY LOOONG.

We already have talking monkeys. There's about 6 billion of them on Earth right now and they're increasing in number at an alarming rate.

And who's going to clean up all the **** they're leaving behind?

A hamster that is big enough to ride like a horse, or a cat that doesn't crap on my carpet.
