Love it!

I have a dog but it still resonates.

I did not post photographs of my cat online or talk about her to people who couldn’t be expected to care, but at home, alone with the cat, I behaved like some sort of deranged arch-fop. I made up dozens of nonsensical names for the cat over the years — The Quetzal, Quetzal Marie, Mrs. Quetzal Marie the Cat, The Inquetzulous Q’ang Marie. There was a litany I recited aloud to her every morning, a sort of daily exhortation that began, “Who knows, Miss Cat, what fantastical adventures the two of us will have today?”

This is me, I have a collection of at least a dozen ridiculous nicknames for my dog. I try not to say them around other people

To anyone who has spent time with an animal, the notion that they have no interior lives seems so counterintuitive, such an obdurate denial of the empathetically self-evident, as to be almost psychotic. I suspect that some of those same psychological mechanisms must have allowed people to rationalize owning other people

This is the truth

That was really funny and cute. Do people really put their pets in baby bjorns? I can't stop giggling at that.

I have seen some women wheeling their little dogs in baby carriers...

I have a friend who put her cat into a human baby onesie when the cat got sick and needed to leave an incision alone. And that cat is still in a onesie.
