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.
@alice
I'm going to replace cats with pterosaurs because I really want those to exist.
I'm replacing dogs with cats because I refuse to live in a world without cats. -
@ambientspace I was just thinking about what animal would look funniest to replace all of the #Caturday images lol
@roknrol @alice @schmalzkringel ah ha! Got it!
You are familiar with work of #HenryLizardLover?

@alice @schmalzkringel Replace dogs with fennec foxes because eeeeeeee! :3 :3 :3
Replace cats with some sort of ermine because eeeeee! :3 :3 -
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.
-
@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
@enbypirate I love geckos so much! They're my favorite part of visiting Hawaii.

@alice as a Canadian, I agree.

@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.

@alice So rude. But you do have ridiculously bitable thighs. Still, I would ask first. What kind of cracker was it?

@alice @grim_elsewhere @mayintoronto @roknrol @schmalzkringel an English swan once bit my moms ass for the same reason. Those birds are mixture of anger, beauty, courage and the power to back it up
When I hung around with some punks at our meeting point next to the river, a pair of swans nested there. On one evening one of the two swans walked right towards us and we shit our pants, because big bad angry bird. And he sat right next to us and did.. Nothing. Except hissing at every person walking nearby.

@alice @schmalzkringel In Australia, one occasionally hears suggestions about domesticating a native species, such as the quoll, and replacing cats (an invasive predator) with them, though it seems to be impractical on any reasonable timeframe
-
@alice as a Canadian, I agree.
@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel there's a reason Canadians are considered the nicest human beings on earth : when your only other point of comparison are these avian brutes, it's hard to look bad.

@mayintoronto @alice @roknrol @schmalzkringel that or there was a finite amount of meanness to distribute across the country, and the geese got 90% of it.

@alice @schmalzkringel I'd replace cats with owls; I'm not sure anyone would notice. And then replace dogs with small bears.
I mean, if you look at my handle, my answer kinda becomes obvious.

I've seen someone post the swaparoo of cats with dogs so I'll ponder this.
Aha.
I'd swap cats with chinchilla's. If you ever had any you will know why (hint; nocturnal noisy monsters of fluff)
I'd swap dogs with fennec foxes (just because they look so cute) -

@alice @schmalzkringel Replace cats with red pandas; replace red pandas with dogs; replace dolphins with cats; and replace dogs with dolphins.
