This is mainly aimed at yandere. What are your thoughts on having pets?

If you had a partner that either had or wanted a pet, then how would you feel? Would you view it as competition for attention? Would you view it as a way to get closer to your partner? What impact do you feel a pet would have on your relationship?

No judgement, either way, just curious.

Bonus Question: What is your favorite animal? Mine's a ferret.
