Seriously, why can't I have a pet Sloth

[LynneSin]

Aren't these baby sloths just so adorable!!

1. You COULD...

...but I'm strictly free-range.

.
.
.
.
Not that I, you know... um... range very FAR.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And honestly... do you expect any sloth to be enticed by a CARROT STICK?!?!?

2. That's not a carrot stick but a cheese stick

Sloths know their junk food hence why they are sloths!

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. Cheese stick?!?!?!?!?

3. yes, yes they are!

Are they endangered/protected?

[LynneSin]

4. I would protect them

:woohoo:

[Rosie1223]

5. According to this link, it would use the litterbox only once a week.

Definitely an advantage over your cats. Sounds like it would need some sort of flea collar, though.

7. I only look like that before coffee.

And after 10 p.m..

When you first met me, you said my eyes were part of my charm. But I guess you just wanted the same thing all men want: a trophy to show off to your friends.

Your disappointed, cross-eyed arm candy,

Heidi

10. If I had had ANY doubts whatsoever before... this has certainly laid them to rest.

If EVER there were two people more suitably made for each other than you two, I shudder to think about it.

11. Glad you're convinced.

Now, could you have a talk with The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger? He seems to believe he's being held in captivity by a red-haired, coss-eyed possum and a zombie with an iMac and poor dental hygiene. He's practically inconsolable during his four waking hours per day, two of which he spends noshing on chicken breasts and/or Alaska sea perch filets that I prepare daily with my humble little possum paws despite my pitiable lack of periphial vision.

Despairingly,

Heidi

16. Hilarious n/t

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Me loves Heidi

when they show her on the show "Elefant, Tiger & Co" it is always fun. She and the other two are fun to watch.

[MilesColtrane]

9. They're no fun.

They fall right over.

[nolabear]

12. *snort!*

[timtom]

14. They sap your ambition. Worse than reefer.

[surrealAmerican]

15. Sloths just want to be free ...

... to run, or erm ... hang about ... in the wild?

[boilerbabe]

17. I don't see why not

I'm sure a sloth would be pretty easy to hide in an apartment or house (maybe easier than having 5 cats in a complex that forbids them like I used to do...). Just plant a big tree in your living room:)

Go for it, if you can find one, that is:)

[rug]

18. You could play fetch with it

if you have a week or so to spare.

[DeadEyeDyck]

19. don't let them go in unemployment

I could never get mine to get a job

[lillypaddle]

20. Aren't sloths against the ten commandments?

Seems kind of risky to me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. You could volunteer at the Sloth Sanctuary

in Costa Rica. Seriously. They take in stray and abandoned sloths.
