Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I'm pretty sure birds take way more effort than dogs and cats.

I'm pretty sure, as a dog owner that ferrets are both more effort and more work than a dog.

Love my friends dogs :)

Why your cat so far to the right? They are a lot easier to look after than dogs. You have to walk dogs 53 times a day or at least they think so.

The cat doesn't care, a good day for a cat is when they spend 75% of the time on your bed.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the scale is logarithmic, because the jumps from cat to dog to baby/horse to dragon are all depicted about the same and are definitely not

Parakeets lower than rabbits and cats all the way to the right, to the right of ferrets?? Did this author ever even have pets? Or met animals?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

parakeets should be up there with dragons

My bird yelling at me for 3 hours because he’s jealous I looked at my other bird for a second

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Damn I wish I had a dragon to ravage the world with

Can confirm. My brothers dog is my best buddy and all I do is play fetch, give him treats and scritches.

Am I owning cats wrong? Cats are easy as fuck. You just take care of Vet/Food/Poop they do the rest

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Imho dogs are easier than cats. Cats vomit all over the place in weird spots so it's a constant cleaning struggle. Dogs, once trained, are pretty straightforward

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What kind of weird sick cat did you have?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Pretty normal for cats to cough up hairballs a couple times a month

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hell yeah cats are a piece of cake to look after. You can't completely neglect them but they do largely take care of themselves.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The hardest part about owning cats is when you put the complicated cat scratching post/bed thing together.

Somebody's never had a goldfish, I see

That thing depicted there looks like a 7-9mo old baby. That's when things get fun, but still a lot of effort.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

thats just the hormones telling you not to chuck it then and there the real fun begins circe 17years in

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

12-16m is when shit gets real. theyre mobile.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Nice idea but this graph is just wrong

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The snake is way too low on the fun factor. Just try letting it out when everybody's at the house drinking, and watch the hi-jinx!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Kindly request we add chickens.

I think it would be equal fun as ferrets but the effort of a cat.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

You forgot about the pet rock

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I have a friend who’s gotten into hermit crab rescue with his wife, and if you’re only expending the effort shown on this chart, congratulations you’re an abusive pet owner.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Where is rock?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Cats should swap place with parakeets on the effort axis. Salt water fish should be higher effort than babies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The scale on this graph cant be accurate.

Its not a similar jump in effot between a parakeet and a cat as a cat and a horse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Perhaps it's logarithmic. Which makes the magnification needed to see sea monkeys even more impressive.

But not really less effort than a cat unless you just keep them in a cage, which you shouldn't do. We had a house rabbit, and I really loved it, but rabbits like to (need to) chew, and bunny-proofing your home is a huge pain. But otherwise they're kind of similar: easy to litter train, very individual personalities, etc.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mine have that oxbow compressed hay house! I find packing tape on corners they like to chew on stops then from doing so

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Good ideas, but probably not adequate for things like electrical cords.
