Chef_Boyardee, I had a test about nouns in the first grade. I picked a cat to be a “person” not a “thing.” I asked my dad why I got the question wrong. He said our cat is a person to us.
iiGxC, Other animals are persons.
toxicbubble, you’re not wrong, calling animals “it” makes me cringe

SrTobi, It’s so sweet when they become aware of the dominance hierarchy 🤗
backupaccount, The dogs name is Kevin.
Sam_Bass, Enlightenment is a glorious thing, is it not?
Emmie, Pet is such a reductive way to describe living, feeling creature sharing your household.
If you have lots of pets you don’t live in a pet palace, no. You live in a fucking zoo.
platypus_plumba, Well, maybe Zoo is also reductive, let’s say it is an ecosystem.
some_guy, That’s actually pretty sweet. But the nails on that dog make me think that’s not a dog. You’re living with a child-werewolf.
threelonmusketeers, Did you intend to reply to ShieldToad’s comment?
Shieldtoad,
troglodytis, Ghost dog!
Drusas, Someone trim that dog's nails.
harmsy, Is that taxidermy?
Shieldtoad,
harmsy, That’s even worse, honestly.
BastingChemina,
Son_of_dad, Joe Rogan’s dog
Sam_Bass, Expression says it all
Son_of_dad, The dog dude with the hot gf!
arin, Old repost.
Sotuanduso, New to me.
Blaze, 
Me too
lugal, Old is the new new.
No, seriously: I’m tired of reposts few days later but there is nothing wrong with reposting old stuff
jjlinux, Who cares? We’re having fun.
Slovene, You better stop that right now!
jjlinux, Ok dear wife. I’ll go take care of the laundry now.
toxicbubble, considering the dog’s iq is about the same as the child, they are both pets
jjlinux, I disagree. My dogs are smarter than my kids. 😝
lugal, Hate to be the one who breaks it to you but have you ever considered that your kids might be stupid?
akakunai, damn 💀
DreamlandLividity, Maybe the dog is smart? 😆
jjlinux, Or all of the above 🤣
davidgro, In that case… Are you a spy and is your wife unusually strong?
If so, I wish your kid luck earning those Stella.
jjlinux, I am not a spy. Or am I?
My wife is as strong as every wife out there and I’m still stupid enough to try to go against her will every now and then. That’s why men die younger on average 🤣
uis,
jjlinux, Absolutely, doesn’t change the fact though, does it?
uis, Skill issue
jjlinux, Among other things.
hemko, Also kids are more like parasites than pets
wizardbeard, 
That’s some strong talk from someone who had to learn object permanence.
AngryCommieKender, You’d think that having a quicker than normal kid would be easier to raise, but no. I was walking and talking at 10 months, reading at 21 months, and in Montessori school by the age of 2. I was also probably the worst kid my parents raised.
Omniraptor, username checks out D:
BigBananaDealer, learning to say no at such an early age must have been actual torture for your parents
lugal, No!
Son_of_dad, Just cause your mum said that about you, doesn’t mean it’s true of all kids
jjlinux, My mom never said that. I did find it written in some of her notes though.
randompasta, The dog is not a pet, but some other guy who lives here.
jaschen, You misspelled the word cat.
funkless_eck, the second I read this comment my cat decided to see what my toe would taste like
Wild_Mastic, Well, what does it taste like?

Empricorn, That’s the face of someone who has experienced the horrors of foot flavor.
lunarul, No, cats are the other way around. You’re just a human who lives in their house.
braxy29, i would typically agree, except that my neighbor told there is a cat that belongs to her little dog. i have since been paying attention - i swear, it’s like that dog has a cat. she walks the dog and the cat comes along. not with my neighbor, but with the dog.
uis,
Potatos_are_not_friends, I have two cats.
Well, I actually have one cat.
But my cat has a pet cat.
Timecircleline, Exactly my cat’s dynamics.
randompasta, I didn’t say ‘asshole’. Not that we don’t love them. I live with 6 of the asshole variety. I miss dogs.
Aux, No, that’s not a cat, that’s a cat:
