How do pets work with robots? Do robots even prefer having them at all? Are there cool robotic pets like sentient IDogs they can get? How do they deal with stuff like massive amounts of shedding and stuff like that if they like pets?

Okay again it depends on the robot but robots having pets is surprisingly common! Max and Tandy both have quite a few pets between them
Tandys pets: Georgie (outdoor barn cat, not super keen on interaction)
Tumblr media
a blue and white staffy called Maggie, she has a white patch on her nose but i couldnt find any clear images,
Tumblr media
ive doodled her before tho:

and he also had a huntaway at some point, tho he doesn't have a name and was just a working dog so he wasn't super involved in the dogs life compared to Maggie who Tandy adores,
Tumblr media
you won't see these pets a lot in the story or writing because none of them came up to Auckland with Tandy Max has two pets A ginger cat called Mutt
Tumblr media
and a (very old) Mastiff mix called Badjelly the Witch (Or just Bad Jelly or Jelly for short)
Tumblr media
these two DO appear in the story because they live with Max and Phillip for a time. I've grown up around big dogs and cats and love to include them in my stories when I can. Robots and animals tend to get along just fine for the most part, cats and dogs at least don't view them as any different than a human owner. Though I imagine robots must smell and sound weird to them and pets that robots aren't already familiar with would be scared by them. Things like fur and mess that animals create could be slightly damaging to a robot but there's nothing a quick vacuum can't fix As I've stated before Sierra hates dogs and I imagine that strains Max and Sierras relationship even more
I was thinking of giving Lithium and Sonnet a robot dog! They have robot animals in their universe that I believe would be sentient too? So they'd behave just like a dog/cat/whatever would
Tumblr media
can we bring these back btw there's a market for them (me)
