How would you feel if aliens suddenly came with the intention of making us their pets?

There is an excess of pets that would otherwise be put down. Unavoidable that we have pet ownership.

I mean what would my cats be doing if I weren't around? Probably still lounging around all day but then also would be killing the shit out of birds and vermin in the area instead of eating the crap I feed them.

It's not like they'd be out getting a career started or anything. That is human-centric thinking.

I pick their poop every day and feed them 4 times a day. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night because they demand to be pet.

Whos the slave now?

the aliens have 6 genders which are all aliens to us, the equivalent of a biog booty is a large slimy tentacle-horn that constantly secretes acid

Wouldn't it be better that they help regulate the environment then?

Also the case of dogs is even sadder. The reason they couldn't survive without us is because we made them that way over countless generations in the first place.

What if the hypothethical pet-owner aliens bred us into becoming incapable of independent action at all?

The pets are the masters. The owners are the slaves

They don't regulate environments, they wipe them out completely.

cats kill baby birds for fun when you let them roam, when we had cats we just kept them in the house.

Truth.

I try to not make my dog do anything that isn't protecting him or others. He'd immediately run out in front of a car if he didn't have me or someone else. And he's at the point he'd immediately die in the wild too.

This is why people started using the term "pet parent" instead of pet owner.

IIRC I read somewhere that they kill for fun and not out of necessity. So no it probably wouldn't help regulate the environment.
