Writer's Block: Pet central

[ornoth]

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Well, on one hand, I have referred to both Grady and the Puggle as my “roommate”…

But on the other hand, I also have also taken great relish in staring them down and repeatedly saying to them, “I *own* you!”.

And when you think about it, doesn’t being called a “pet” imply just as much imbalance as having an “owner”?

I just don’t understand why people put so much effort into arguing about semantics when that energy could be applied to something that might produce real meaningful change.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I think it's important to go with whichever term the cat prefers.
