This is generally how most of the new pets get vetoed in this house.
Which is a good thing. Otherwise we’d have an even bigger menagerie than the current Apocalypse of cats ( Two black norgies, a tuxedo, a garfield sized tabby and a siamese who thinks she’s a ferret ) and the wall o’ reptiles ( geckos and various snakes ).
SO far this season, the list of animals that have been vetoed have included:
A Swedish Vallhund ( think corgi-ized wolf )
A spotted genet ( think ferretized cat … or … felinized ferret )
Too many many-limbed critters to list
Apocalypse of cats!!! AWESOME!! I now have a new name for the many cats that live with my Dad. They were my sister’s…but she’s off to college…yep. Poor Dad. And I have to agree with Raf…that is NOT a point in their favor. ewww…
It’s a huge point in their favor. I’ve wanted a rhinocerous beetle for over ten years, but good luck finding one. >.< They just aren't available where I live.
As you seem to like creepy- crawlies, you might try looking at a video of the longest-lived insect in the world: a termite queen. Warning — they are SUPER creepy!!
I do! It’s wild to me how different the termite queen looks so different from the rest of the colony! We found one once when we were cleaning out a barn and my mom was the only one who knew what the heck it actually was. I didn’t know they were so long-lived though!

That. Never. No. Just. No. What. No. Nonononononononononononono.
No.
P. S.: thanks for the nightmares. I never liked sleep, anyway…

Seriously!? “The beetles may be kept as pets.” I thought you was just being, ya know… weird. That thing is HUGE!
Gotta agree with João, no way!

I don’t think it would get along well with Harley

I’m with Raf on this one. When a cockroach chases the mouse for food, this is NOT a good thing!
And Harley would never come down off the drapes! 🙁

No that is not
