If it was ethically possible, a capybara. I’d just hangout in my own water and stone feature with my chill friend.
My partner took me to a place where we got to hang out with all sorts of animals, capybara included. They live up to their rep, for suuuuure. They just let me pet and hug them, and they loved being hand fed.
My favorites were binturong though. They had two babies they just let loose in a room with us. They were crawling all over our heads and bodies. I cried. I loved them so much.
Porcupines were also WAY more chill than I expected. I was scared to touch their quills, but they were happy to let me pet them and feed them carrot. They were pretty much as chill as capys!

I love cats, but in a fantasy world I’d like a horse. I’d have to be mega rich and have someone care for the horse, but it would be cool to be able to go out for rides when I fancied it

It’s the effort though… so much effort. Kudos to you for doing it!
I want a big ol’ grizzly bear to cuddle. :3
More realistically, a cow would be cool.
What type of cow?
Jersey.
Cool! They’re pretty cute!
Also consider highland cows if you’re looking at cuddle quotient like with the grizzly. When they’re young their fur is so fluffy (sometimes curly) and it grows really long. Though, I don’t know about overall coarseness and you gotta be wary of the long horns on the adults, hehe. Though I’ve come across some trad pets that have pretty coarse fur and people still cuddle them, so…shrug
There’s a farm I have to pass sometimes with a single long horned highland in a pen outside the farmhouse with some goats and sheep, and I always want to stop and see if he’ll let me pet him. He looks chill.
That’s awesome!!! I’m putting the thought that you’ll be able pet them to into the universe.
Brick. It doesn’t eat much and can defend you. It is also very quiet. Brick is the most ninjaish pet. And everyone knows that ninjas are cool.
Good point they are very easy pets. Hard to train though
Sit/lay/stay/be_quiet can be taught literally in seconds! Most pets aren’t able to learn that in their whole lifetime.
A red panda. I’d be happy with just being able to pet it occasionally to be honest.

Godzilla.
You could destroy your enemies with him

Don’t forget Tokyo! He’s actually very well behaved if you just let him sleep peacefully in the ocean.

A giant squid. Just to be the first.
Good idea. What would you call them?
Squidward ofc.
Great horned owl 🥰
Great choice 👌
It’s actually legal in my state to own a crocodile as a pet with no permits or anything, but I don’t have the time, space, or adequate habitat for such a critter. Ignoring that Craigslist post was soooo difficult…
My kid is absolutely hurting to have a Giant African Snail, but they’re illegal here.
…go figure.
I remember in elementary school begging my mom for a komodo dragon. Now, many years later…I just want a bison.
Honestly, just a regular black cat. I can’t because of terrible allergies
That’s my idea of hell I love my kitties
Raven!
Loved the Mortimer the Raven books when I was a kid and have wanted a corvid companion ever since.
Hedgehog!!! They’re so cute!
Good call! They have tics though
A lot of animals, including dogs and cats, are capable of getting ticks, so not a huge factor in comparing them with more traditional pets.
Good point
