Imagine for a moment that you could receive a perfectly tame and happy to stay with you non-conventional pet, and the resources and space to look after it. It would be quite healthy, suitably enriched to not be trouble and would also love you, all the good things.
Which of these would you pick?

Behold the dik-dik:

I don't really get on with insects or lizards.

I voted lizard, but it would be kind of hard to turn down riding a giant dragonfly.

Alas, I’ll have to content myself with just watching the little wild ones.

Brain is gonna brain I guess.

Majesty and grace, but small!

I mean it must be the lizard but the antelope seems oddly appealing, too.

edit: sure, autocorrect meddles with anything that’s correct but somehow manages to produce “antipope” instead of antelope. 😹😹😹 A tiny typo which I detected a nanosecond before the post went through, turned truly unexpected by my mobile.

Edit: like, normal size dragonflies. I haven't met a giant one

It wouldn't give a damn about the cats and the cats would not bother it, as it trundles through its huge enclosed field and forest. I feel like other options might be a bit problematic with three cats?
