Doggos. Dogs are platonist, cats are aristotelian. This is a platonist board.

Imagine believing this unironically

Aristotelians fail in every debate, they get the rope.

Nothing is more /lit/ than a working breed canine. It is a breed brought into this world for an express purpose, but a hundred years on, it finds that this activity or exercise is no longer required of them. Now their "purpose" is to wear cute sweaters and be good looking enough to garner upvotes on r3ddit. They have noses perfectly configured to track prey, mouths perfectly calibrated to pick up game without damaging it, senses so fine that thye can point to a songbird hundreds of meters off. All of these features lie dormant while their owners uses them as a surrogate child/friend, fattening them mercilessly with table scraps and softening them with excess belly rubs.
The /lit/ thing to do is to rescue a rat terrier or a German Short Haired Pointer, and return it to a life of purpose by putting it to work.

The most lit are cats. Schopenhauer explains how it is will afirming to want to touch things, animals, the aesthetical contemplation that ceases the will can only be done through vision and hearing, the cat is a delicate animal made to be admired, dogs we touch and play with. I read Schoppy in 2016, sorry if I missed something. Baudelaire says that you can see eternity through the eyes of a cat, while saying that dogs like to smell poop and are repulsed by perfume.

Having an undomesticated stray cat that you feed periodically and observe from a distance until one day it finally trusts you enough to let you pet it just one time is peak /lit/.

Metaphysics of purpose... actual life is spent in postmodern indignity... prescription is a never-gonna-happen LARP return to some childishly imagined pastoral fantasy of violence... Sounds more like a /pol/ dog.

Cats are undoubtedly the writer's animal. But dogs are a good fit for the classic american tough intellectual.

Love a good dog but Hemingway kept cats.

Cats and dogs are not /lit/ pets.

>>16617091
This is such a profoundly un/lit/ pet that it might loop back around to being peak /lit/.

Jokes aside, the truth is fish are undoubtedly the most /lit/ pet.

Having a cat you only see when it wants food is lit. Or having a dog to go hunting with

>>16617034
Cats are chill. Dogs makes too much sound.

Fish are the most /lit/
I love to read by an aquarium

This. Specifically one of the more sane and talkative ones.

Good shout, but there are better birds.
The most /lit/ pet isn't one you can just buy in a store, an obnoxious beast like a dog or a narcissistic cat; it's one you have to become friends with, gain its trust and then capture it.
Thus the most /lit/ pet is the crow.

Tortoises, preferably jeweled.

Something exotic, unusual, and possibly dangerous like a cassowary or a caiman.

Must require a large enclosure.

duck

duck what?

I rescind my answer (>>16618409) and endorse >>16618445 instead

>>16617902
This. I watch my fish and write about them frequently. There’s something serene and relaxing about watching an aquatic “”ecosystem”” you have created.

Close second to dogs

That guy looks stupid asf

>>16618504
he is probably more interesting than you'll ever be

>>16618517
Just walking w a big ass turtle on a sidewalk probably through cross walks holding ppl up

>>16618578
that doesn't disqualify him from being interesting, that just means you don't like him

>>16618586
I'm just saying he looks stupid walking a big ass turtle through a city like he's a kid at show-and-tell

>>16618600
hard disagree

>>16618613
He can't pull that shit outside Europe

>>16618620
that only makes me want to move to europe

It's not that bad anywhere but they break pretty easy and creepily. They're looking for an out for their culture. Nice place but they aren't as emotionally deep or explorative as they were a century ago, they're just emotionally repressed. Not a bad place, every culture has their own brand of stupid. You can take it or you can leave it.
