True. Though I bet you were a natural at it.

[Hmm... still would have given you a cat though. Cats are fuzzier and more affectionate in general, and he wasn't going to climb into any nests to find suitable ones. And they imprint. Gotta get them young to work.

Though some of the little owls around here are enchantingly fluffy. And very cute.]

That still sounds like a lot of work. You'd have to raise them from birth. [Yeah... he's still angling for a story.] Got any preferences?
