This is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly.. wait till facebook gets the pets headline RNZ group chat is gonna go off. It would be good to hear an answer that looks past the next week.

My cat is an absolute terror at 3am but honestly wouldn't trade her for anything 😅

Ben Sullivan2026-06-12T22:54:03.000Z

my cat does my head in but I love him.

This article gets it. My dog chewed my favourite shoes but he's the only reason I get out of bed some days.

Eva Anderson2026-06-12T23:19:03.000Z

man, I feel that. My dog is the reason I get up for walks fresh air everything.

Pets are great and all but the vet bills are ridiculous these days. Spent $800 last month on my lab.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-12T23:44:03.000Z

Who else's pet thinks the bed is theirs? 😂

Hana Stewart2026-06-12T23:59:03.000Z

Definitely. My lab takes up the whole bed too.

Yeah nah, I love my dog but sometimes I just want to sleep in without a paw in my face.

Tbh I think my cat is more emotionally intelligent than some people I know. Loyal little bugger.

there is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving. ok but where are the numbers

zoeknz2026-06-13T06:44:03.000Z

Maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks.. The details are where these stories usually change shape.

finnlocal2026-06-13T08:27:03.000Z

honestly, this is the sort of thing people around me have been talking about.. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.

as someone just trying to get through the day, this stands out.. wait till facebook gets the pets headline RNZ group chat is gonna go off. It would be nice to see a version that is actually simple for people.
