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! |

Not that she could blame him. Some pet people were forced to wear rags and behave like animals. Alex never wanted Loki to be treated that way. He deserved to be happiness and fair treatment.
"You can be such a sweetheart," she said, stroking his ears and hair more when he rubbed against her hand. "Do you want to watch a movie while we eat, or would you rather just cuddle like this?"
no subject
"If we put a movie on," he said in an annoyed tone, though he did not care what they did.. "You'll have to move and I've just got really comfortable."
no subject
And they didn't need to watch a movie either. She was happy just the way they were, with Loki snuggled up close to her. She might even be willing to feed him, but just a little.
"It's a good thing I left the door unlocked and my purse is still on the coffee table then. The delivery guy can just come in, and we won't have to move."
no subject
Though he pointed that out and sounded worried for her, the delivery person could even be a serial killer for all Alex knew, her closeness, stroking and calming scent was affecting him in a way that he'd usually be able to hide by slinking off to his room. The hand scratching his ears and the one running up and down his tail prevented him to do that as Loki's body went a head and betrayed him, rolling his hips towards the hand on his tail to rub his slow growing erection.

Alex also had a 9mm with a silencer attached hidden in the house. She had never told Loki about it, as she didn't want him to think she was stranger than he already did.
When she felt him pressing himself against her hand, she grinned and moved his tail over his building arousal and began to rub both at the same time, massaging her fingers gently against him.
"Are you sure you're in the mood to eat right now?"
The two of them had never been intimate despite sleeping together some nights, but Alex wasn't opposed to it. In fact, she welcomed it.
no subject
"Yep, in the mood only for pizza." Loki stated as he very quickly sat up, moving to the other side of the couch.
no subject
"Ah, sorry...," she said softly, feeling like an idiot. Alex hoped she hadn't ruined the whole evening.
no subject
no subject
"I know... but I'd like us to be more than just friends."
She felt silly saying it. This could make their relationship incredibly awkward if Loki wasn't interested. He might even want to leave and look for another home.
