Pets in Science Fiction

I love pets and grew up with quite a variety from dogs, to cats and rabbits, birds, chickens, etc. My favorite pets are cats and that got me thinking about Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation and his cat Spot. I liked very much that Data wanted to care for a living creature and thus learn to be more human, be responsible for feeding and caring for his cat, and write poetry and paint using his cat as the subject matter.
Here is a funny and sweet vid of Data and his wonderful cat Spot.



RIP Micah, you were loved and cherished and have now crossed the Rainbow Bridge. To my sister and brother in law, my thoughts and hugs are sent out to you.
