Can you imagine a world in which all animals were the size of a domesticated cat? We are also having a hard time picturing it…just imaging, lions the size of cats, elephants the size of cats, giraffes (!!) the size of cats! We would have so many more options for pets in this fantastical world that we are currently imagining. Okay, someone needs to get us back on subject here we're starting to think about what brand of teething toys our imaginary pet elephants would prefer for the baby phase.
Anyway, users took to Reddit to throw in their own two cents and decide what pet they would choose if all animals were small enough to be easily taken care of as pets. Small animals = much less high maintenance with regards to space and upkeep. The answers ranged vastly, but elephants were a popular choice and we would have to chime in and agree that having a pet elephant would be pretty darn awesome.
The limit does not exist! This askreddit subject really got the wheels of our brains turning. We enjoyed this super interesting thought experiment that pushed us to think about a world entirely different from the one we know!
We easily agree. A cat sized elephant sounds like the ultimate loving best friend. We would intertwine our arms with their trunk and just hug each other all day and night!
