    For us it’s feet

    Pet feet cannot outnumber human feet, full stop. Otherwise you lose control and are no longer in charge.

    It’s a working theory but so far has been accurate.

      I see a couple of flaws

      1. Nobody who lives alone is allowed a pet
      2. If you have a toddler, in this rule that enables you to expand the number of pets, but I’d say a toddler adds to rather than eases the load

        A person living on their own could have any number of fish, a single bird, any number of snakes, etc.

        More a loophole or feature. Fish are easy to take care of same with snakes. You can feed em and head out of town without worry etc.

        Bird has two legs.

        It’s not an actual rule we every invented and then followed. But more, one we ended up realizing waaaay after the fact.

        That’s a divide by zero issue. Snakes and fish don’t count against quota.
