Rabid Housepets
My step-daughter has a hedgehog. It's a rather useless pet. It doesn't cuddle or attempt to be social. In fact, it's idea of a good day is laying around until about 10pm, getting up and banging the water bottle hung in his cage to provide him with water against the side of same said cage and mushing around for food, then settling back down for a nice long lay about. Then if it musters up the strength, it might roll over once or twice. You must occasionally check for life signs, as his bulk has grown to the size where breath motions can't be visibly detected. It huffs. That is it's way of saying, 'Please let me go back to sleep.' and 'Screw you, put me back down.' both of which actually mean the same thing... "I'm not an animal one should have as a pet." His lack of cuddlability has resulted in the adoption of two rabbits, one blind and one bad-tempered. The resulting lack of cuddling with the rabbits produced a stray cat who feels the need to attach itself to any mobile limb and ganw on it as a way of showing affection. Rabid Housepets.Conversations
