Every single day I see something from a pet owner that reaffirms how happy I am to not have pets.

    My cat I got when he was a few months old.

    Picked up from the street, would have died in the winter probably.

    However I raised him to deny any of my food. He has its own food.

    It was difficult the first 3 times. He begged for the food the whole time I ate. And even tried to get sth. But I was iron willed to keep my food.

    The 4th time he never begged or tried to get sth.

    And now I can even leave the food unattended for 2 minutes with him nearby and he won't try to get sth.

    3 minutes is risky though.

    I've raised dozen of strays I picked-up from the streets over my lifetime. None but one was food motivated enough to steal our food, and the orange one that did isn't so stubborn as to push his luck, a simple hush was enough to deter him.

    Though I'm South-East Asian, most of our food is plant-based and the occasional meat we have is drenched in seasoning I don't think they recognize it as food lol.

    How do you feel about children?
