Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

So this was a bit harder than I expected. I mean, some things are obvious - Scratch the dog from Baldur's Gate 3 is clearly the best boy, but I think it'd be hard to find anyone who'd dispute that. So, I'll say it's great that the developers of Baldur's Gate 3 acknowledged that no matter how good the plot is, or how important the world is that needs saving, what a percentage of the players most want to do is talk to every possible animal or animal companion in the game.

I haven't had a pet in meatspace in a long time, but I have aspirations over the next few years as I finish paying off my mortgage and fixing all the things around the house that need fixing, I'll be able to make it pet-safe, because what I'd like to do is be able to give a home to a couple of cats that are happy to live indoors full-time. I know that pet shelters here often struggle to rehome cats that aren't kittens, and while there's a certain cultural bias towards the belief that all cats need to be able to go outside and roam around, cats with conditions like FIV/FLV need to stay indoors. I think it'd be nice to be able to keep a couple of older cats company as they identify their favourite places in the house to relax, and with rooms that are 9'6" high with 6' tall windows, you just know how much they'd enjoy staring down at people in the street from perches set up towards the top of the upstairs windows...
