Cool! They’re pretty cute!

Also consider highland cows if you’re looking at cuddle quotient like with the grizzly. When they’re young their fur is so fluffy (sometimes curly) and it grows really long. Though, I don’t know about overall coarseness and you gotta be wary of the long horns on the adults, hehe. Though I’ve come across some trad pets that have pretty coarse fur and people still cuddle them, so…shrug

What type of cow?

I don’t know his full history, so I don’t know about the war/violence aspect, but Mansa Musa - 14th century - had a lot of wealth (billionaire by today’s standards), but he was also generous with his wealth to the point that he made gold pretty much worthless in Egypt for a time. (He passed through there on his Hajj.) So at least one.

A lot of animals, including dogs and cats, are capable of getting ticks, so not a huge factor in comparing them with more traditional pets.

I love Internet Archive! Signed, and about to share!

Hedgehog!!! They’re so cute!

Medicine.

The wrath I’d reign down on all the asshole doctors that dismiss patient experiences…

$100K/yr.

Yes, with inflation it won’t go as far in subsequent years, but it doesn’t say anywhere that it’s the only source for your income, so you can make more money in other ways, like starting a business or investing some of that $100K in a low risk investment plan that will help you later.

Looking in the toilet before you flush.

And you should do it. The colour of your urine tells you how hydrated you are and so if you should be consuming more fluids (hydration isn’t just water). The state of your feces can be an early warning system to potential issues even if it didn’t feel off when you went.
