Mother of Dragons

If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

At first I thought: Dragons!
But then I remembered Guards! Guards! and decided, maybe no dragons.

Then I thought: Unicorns!
But where to put the poor thing? And what do unicorns eat?

Then I thought: Phoenix!
Only which one? Ancient Greek? Or the Septology we dare not name? What if it burns when I’m not there? Problems.

Finally, I decided I’ll stick to cats since they’re quite magical already. After all, “In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”- Sir Terry Pratchett

Can I has…

What animals make the best/worst pets?

Dear Sir / Madam / Being / Entity,

Blessings on your household, for the Ancient Gods have spoken!

To be claimed by a cat is to have an Ancient God call you worthy.

Feed the feline well, provide warmth and curious human things, for the Ancient Gods are playful. Allow long naps and give good scritches, and all will be well.

Remember, ye are in the presence of the Ancient One. Some things cannot be explained.

Enjoy your days and live well.

Yours sincerely,
Bastet’s Acolytes, Re-incarnated
