Hey there @schmalzkringel, thanks for the follow request!

@alice

I think cats should be replaced by Iguanas. My wife says owls, but owls are kind of already cats.

Dogs should be replaced by Canadian Geese (the wife and I are in agreement on this one)

Hey there @schmalzkringel, thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...

If you could swap the world's cats and dogs with two other things, and folx would continue as though their lives and pets had always been that way, what would you choose?

I really want to answer with something like "tiny fainting goats & giant rubber chickens" just for the laughs I'd get out of it.

@schmalzkringel

@roknrol I'd be on board with owls, but Canada geese are evil!

@roknrol @alice @schmalzkringel I'm on board with either owls or iguanas (though I'd definitely miss my cats).

But Canada Geese?!?! Having worked at a facility that had a goose 'lurking in the shop' for a while, there is no way anyone's life could continue on unchanged if one of those things replaced a pet dog!! Chaos and gross poops everywhere!

@roknrol @alice @schmalzkringel I used to live with 7 iguanas. They have individual personalities and were fascinating to observe.

But cuddles and scroochies? Cats.

Preferably chilled-out seal-point Siamese, or bonkers abby-tabby-torties. Both like a warm lap and are way easier to clean up after than lizards.

@SnowyCA @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel Are you familiar with this concept?

@ambientspace I was just thinking about what animal would look funniest to replace all of the #Caturday images lol

I'd swap cats and dogs with dogs and cats; cats replace dogs in all dog things and vice versa. Mostly just because I think it would be neat to have the same kind of diversity of cat breeds that we do of dogs. Big shaggy cats, tiny cats with big heads, long skinny cats, black cats with orange eyebrows...

I don't really have as much justification for swapping dogs in for cats, but it seemed fair if they are being replaced by cats that they could still have a place in people's homes.

@schmalzkringel

@alice @schmalzkringel I think dogs should be replaced with small dromaeosaurus like velociraptor. Roughly the same size, fast, agile and they probably got fluffy feathers

Cats on the other hand should be replaced with Geckos. I mean.. have you ever looked at one of those small critters? They're smol, cute and look like they're smiling. And they can hunt down all mosquitos who enter ones place

@alice as a Canadian, I agree.

@roknrol @schmalzkringel

@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel There's a reason we call them Cobra Chickens.

@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel During nesting season, they're such assholes. If they come at you, just gotta give them the ol' beakflip.

@grim_elsewhere a goose bit my bare thigh once because I wouldn't give it a cracker. I slapped it.

We both sat for a moment, silently appalled at each other's actions.

Then we both swore at each other from a safe distance until we decided to part ways.
