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! |

[[Probably something akin to guard, breaking in, and pet play (though with more (sexy) clothing than less). Kaga doing what her master says out of a sense of duty but feeling her out. I'm flexible with others though!]]

Kaga considered herself a refined creature.
As far back as she could remember, she was largely trained to protect. She may not have been some perfect pet person ideal, but that didn't really matter to her. Her rather curvy frame was usually hidden behind a plain kimono top and baggy pants, and her muscles were toned to be able to strike down any threats. Her dark, pointed ears were tuned to heed the words of her mistress and be on alert for threats.
Of course, that became a two word mantra: constant vigilance! So long as there were suspicious people, she needed to be ready to protect her owner at all costs.
She might have nearly overdone it too, when a suspicious person had grown a little too friendly with her owner, in a way that seemed to not sit right with her. She had managed to pin him down on the ground in a matter of a few seconds. It seemed that it irritated her owner though, and she was asked to relent.
So this following morning, Kaga was waiting obediently at her owner's desk, a bit confused on what she wanted this time. She might have been overzealous just a bit, but surely that was a mistake she wouldn't repeat again? What was she waiting for?

Pet: He's the pet cat that disappears for six years or every week and then reappears back on your doorstep after saying he's been catnapped by aliens. He's a rather active cat and places ownership on what's his, so he wouldn't like sharing at all? Leo shedding his fur on owner, no one else. )

"Did you have a good day?"

"...yes." Peter cleared his throat a little; he hadn't been talking much, and he certainly hadn't been talking when he was alone throughout the day. "I...watched through the window."

[ Namie's never been keen on the thought of owning a pet. She leads a busy enough life that the thought of adopting and caring for another being seems like more of a hassle than anything else, despite what she hears from pet owners about how happy and warm their pets supposedly make their homes. Living alone has never bothered her enough to want to keep a pet to welcome her home in the evenings.
So she blames the woman downstairs for her situation. The woman who already owns a couple of pets and still insists on feeding any strays who wander near their building. Word spreads easily enough and there are anywhere between ten to fifteen cats hanging around outside thanks to her irritatingly generous nature.
For the most part, the strays seem to stay out of the way of the tenants who haven't offered them food. Tyki is the exception.
Namie passes him late one evening after making beef stew at work, the smell still clinging to her clothes on her way home. It's enough that she recalls Tyki following her inside and into the elevator, off on her floor and right into her apartment before she could even react. And despite threats, he's stuck around since.
It's been two months and Namie still doesn't really see the appeal to coming home to a pet.
It's fairly late when she finally arrives home, toeing her shoes off in the entranceway of her apartment before she heads toward the living room to look for Tyki. ]
You're still here.

at least, that's what he had thought. but one fateful day he'd followed his nose to something that smelled utterly, divinely delicious - and it wasn't long before he'd found himself lounging around the woman's apartment on a daily basis, indulging in whatever scraps she'd stored in the refrigerator that he could get his hands on. it certainly topped fighting other stray pets every time he wanted to get a meal. like his own personal chef de cuisine.
he's just polishing off the last remnants of what was supposed to have been tonight's dinner. or perhaps it was leftovers. he honestly couldn't tell anymore, nor did he care. it was in his belly now. ]
Hoh? Why wouldn't I be?
no subject
If you're going to stay- [ which is painfully obvious, despite her cold shoulder toward him ] -you're going to be more useful than this.
[ and with that, namie leans over the couch and gives his arm a tug as she nods toward the empty containers he's cleaned out. ]
Pick them up and follow me.
