man imagine aliens w no concept of interspecies cooperation or pets

‘commander the scan of this shelter reveals three primary lifeforms’

‘excellent. elaborate please’

‘all mammals. two quadrupeds, one feline and one canine, as well as one biped sapien. they appear to be… relaxing and eating in a shared space’

‘what the fuck’

imagine these guys trying to be really polite about it because for some reason the bipeds really enjoy harboring these strange freeloading carnivores. an alien warlord meeting some diplomat’s cat and being all tentatively like ‘ah… yes. your parasite is remarkably large and complacent. you are no doubt a very well-used host and oh my stars don’t let it touch me no no NO.’

“but what function do they serve”

“well sometimes they catch pests or protect us from intruders”

“ah I see very sensible”

“but mostly we just hug them whether they want us to or not”

“…………what the fuck”

But no, imagine them thinking the cat is the owner of the home because the human brings them food, entertains them and cleans out their crap?
