Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a concientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be.
The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapien. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed.
Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human.
So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know?
 As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo!
All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best.
However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to.
According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right.
Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child.
It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant.
Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet.
These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders.
Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions.
Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends.
Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans.
With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master! |

yuuichirou hyakuya | owari no seraph | m/m
as a pet, same shit applies. he's a cat and he probably loathes being a pet and is probably the bitchiest, prickliest shit ever unless you've won him over and made friends. i'm very, very down for pet-pet relationships too... ]

[Soma's voice carried through the big house as he looked for his friend. At least he saw the smaller cat as his friend, but on the other hand he saw a lot of people, pets and humans alike, as at least acquaintances. And Yuuichirou had been bought to keep him company since the human that owned them had to work long hours.]
Yuu, I found you.
[He more or less attacked the other cat as he spotted him, hugging him and holding him close. What was personal space anyway?]
Hey, lets do something.
no subject
There's a grunt at the tackle and his ears flatten down because, hey, he has a sense of personal space and Soma is all up in it.]
I wasn't hiding, dummy. [He grumbles, trying to squirm his way out of this hug. He was sulking around, maybe sniffing out to find out if the windows were unlocked, not that it was any of Soma's business.]
What are we supposed to do anyway, huh?
no subject
Perhaps you wasn't, but I couldn't find you. [Nope, no escaping his grip. Soma had already decided that they would do something. Letting Yuu escape from him wasn't on the list then no matter how much he squirmed.]
I don't know. We could play a game or something.
[Soma gave a bright smile, fully ignoring Yuu's discomfort and sour mood. It would all be over faster if he just agreed to his terms.]
no subject
Nothing, is the answer. Not that Yuu got scared of anything. His squirming is entirely half-hearted though.]
I'm not a stupid puppy! [He's got stuff to do!! Ugh, he's totally whining, isn't he. Grumbling follows, as per usual and always sounds a lot like defeat. Soma is relentless. Maybe he is scary.]
You've made me play every game you could come up with anyway. Don't you got some catnip to be playing with?
no subject
The whining and grumbling got fully brushed to the side. More of things that wasn't really important.]
But it is no fun playing on my own. [The grip grew tighter and he was now openly pouting. Come on play with him. He was bored with trying to amuse himself.]

as a human owner, henry is still more attuned with animals than humans, and would be a much more respectful and empathetic owner ("owner") than other humans. So Rebellion and Protection (and smut) scenarios are best here.))
