    What does this have yo do with ESO?

    Pets (ingame) vs pets (IRL) and some reasons why ingame pets are so appreciated.

    and I STILL want to be able to name then. I'd pay 50 crowns per pet to do that.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Is it just me or did @ZOS_GinaBruno mention being a dog owner? Also my wife volunteers at a shelter in Dublin GA which is in a contest sponsored by Animal Planet to do a renovation; anyone mind voting for them on the contest page?

    Vote Dublin-Laurens please and help the doggies!

    Here is a before and after of a pet we adopted from them; you can see the dramatic impact of adopting from a rescue, they can only do so much (he had mange when we got him):

    I have 2 cats. Called monster and Mustash and yes, he has a mustash(or fur above his mouth looking like one). The older cat(monster) loves to be carried around. And the younger one always want to be peted (but he has some sort of ADD so at random times he will just attack things that move, and whenever he do that he looks very surprised like if he doesn't know it was he who attacked).

    Edit: I think they are cats, the look like felines, pur and meow. But they act like lap dogs and they arn't affected by catnip...

    FYI, only adult cats are affected by catnip - while they're kittens it does nothing for them. I'm not sure of the science behind it (probably has to do with hormones or something) but I'd imagine that some cats simply never mature in that particular way and don't ever have a reaction to catnip.

I'm not sure of the science behind it (probably has to do with hormones or something) but I'd imagine that some cats simply never mature in that particular way and don't ever have a reaction to catnip.

    Actually, there are studies that show that only about 50% of cats are affected by catnip. Some theories suggest it has something to do with genes. Also, it seems that the majority affected are males - as the catnip apparently mimics the scent of a female cat. But like with so many aspects of the mysterious little felines, there is no definitive answer - yet :wink:

    That being said, none of my cats have ever been very fond of catnip - and I've had both males and females. But then again, they've liked things like raisins, olives, and cucumber :tongue: Weird kitties be weird!

    My cat doesn't like catnip too. But she is a bit.... well she was separated of her mother too soon it would seem, and even though she is 8 years old, she behaves like a kitten.
    And probably because she is of the North region of France, she loves cheese and potato chips. And milk with a taste of Chocapic.
    Like you said. Weird kitties are weird.

    Mine are the opposite, total 'nip heads'! Both males and females alike have liked it. My ancient cat, Spaz, adored the stuff; I'd sprinkle it on the floor and she'd roll in it and drool everywhere!

    I've had a lot of kitties that loved it, but now that you mention it, @UrQuan I think that it was always "when adult" and the little ones would just sniff, look at the adults like "you are soo odd...." and walk away.

    OTOH, the ones with a feral background, I keep it away from them, they get too rough.

    Sorta like a mean drunk? I dunno.
