i mean, i spend enough time trying to kill the various creatures that squat in my flat without inviting a load more in, who, whats more, will expect me to put food out for them intentionally and clean up their shit.

I like dogs, for one, but I lived with one once and ended up hating it after a couple of months. not fair on the dog really cos she was lovely but, I just dont want fucking stinky, malting animals running round when im trying to relax, or come and beg at my knee every time im in the kitchen.
