    You all have never met my cat.

    Look - I’m married, and I’ve tended to regard myself as a dog person my entire life. We got this cat like two years ago because my wife kept talking about a chihuahua, and that is a line I will not cross.

    So anyway, we get this cat for her, and he has clearly chosen me as his human. He spends most of his days in my home office. He’s constantly jumping into my lap. If no one else is around, he will loudly beg for my attention. He sleeps next to me. He lets me pick him up and hold him upside down at the furthest extent of my reach. He is my baby cat and I love him.
    (It’s okay, we got a very sweet kitten a year ago, and she has clearly chosen my wife as her human. She literally climbs onto her chest and falls asleep with her head on my wife’s shoulder every day.)

      Yes, many people fail to appreciate that a chihuahua is actually a demonic rodent rather than a dog. They originated from Mexico when people wanted a dog that would hunt rats. However, upon testing a terrier’s ratting skills, it chased one into a dark crevice, only for this eldritch creature called “chihuahua” to emerge wearing a dog-like disguise. This kept on happening all over Mexico until we had enough for a whole breed of them.
