Elephant. Never met one outside the zoo, but I imagine they would be hard to say “no” to.
But then you wouldn’t be able to ignore the elephant in the room.
How would you get em in the house tho?
First thing to do is open the door.
No no no, use the gate.
- Step 1: open door
- Step 2: ???
- Step 3: die
Raven if they were going to be chill about it.
They are not chill. They will ransack your kitchen
Turtles. I can always trust a turtle.
It’s all fun and games until they bite one of your toes
Probably a capybara, or a cheetah. Both are rather chill animals, and cheetahs are fairly able to be domesticated (and have been multiple times throughout history) at least compared to other big cats.
Both are still a really bad idea, and the latter will probably result in injury or death. After having interacted with two Cheetahs through a rehab centre, I’d be open to try.
Ferret. They’re awesome pets and blind as hell. If you see one roaming around, he’s probably lost.
They’re amazing pets if you have the time/energy. I recently went into an apartment whose owner had three pet ferrets. Cute little guys but he did not clean them well enough.
I’d love to get them again but I wouldn’t be able to spend the time for play/exercise.
Crow and octopus. Both are moderately devious without being prohibitively dangerous.
Our house is old. We have spiders. They’re not venomous and they’re pretty cool. I have to occasionally rescue them from the old farm sink downstairs.

A red panda. Sure, my cats would freak the hell out, but a red panda would quickly use their zen powers to calm them down.
They have an incredible smell.
I’m a falconer so I’ve let many raptors into my home and vehicle. Birds have very sensitive lungs so I do give a lot of thought to air quality in those spaces though. No idling cars or near them for a length of time, no candles, no teflon, that kind of stuff.
Pangolin
Personally, and it might end me one day, but almost any kinda lizard I think I’d welcome in.
Also sometimes groundhogs look like they might like a brief lift to another patch of dirt to dig around in, or I dunno, maybe a brief snack run.
miniature donkey
Had a neighbor’s mini donkey escape last year and found it grazing outside our fence line. She lived in our front yard for several days while we searched for her owner. She was a Super chill animal who liked to stand inside a dog kennel we had setup.
I haven’t even met her and I already love her.
I’ve put turtles in the car several times, to bring them to water. Birds, we’ve taken to the seabird rescue. I think that’s it.
Guinea pigs. They are just the best things ever
Secomding this. My fiancée and I have a standing rule that if we ever find an abandoned guinea pig, we’re taking them in. We have spare cages and our two piggies would be more than happy to have another friend.
