Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Pet Club

@Sparkly Cat asked me to post a thread now that the pet club has actually started. This is going to start by discussing the question, "Why did humans way back then decide to have pets and adopt them as their mascots?"

I thought it was a good idea. So I created this thread.

Here are the posts from "Anyone want to"--which showed my original idea for the club--that are from members of the club answering the question.

I'll join!! 

I think it has to do with humans domesticating other animals. In the agricultural revolution, humans began trying to control other species. Pets were wild animals, bred to be more docile for a variety of purposes. For instance, cats hunted rodents.

I *think* this is how.

Also, I have four cats! :D 

Maybe 'cause they thought it was cool???

I don't know, that was the first thing that came to my head. *Cringes*

uhhhh... because they are dying from boredom and just need company obviously!

To be honest, I don't know. Feli, I think your right. And Emekittycon Kitten, you are 100% correct!

By the way, GoldenLionTamarin, we should start a new thread to discuss. I think it would be easier if it was titled: Pet club or something.
