Sorting the Pets

(An abridged version of last night's conversation.)

I say, "The kitty was just looking at something out the window, got freaked out and ran away."

Jeff, (on the phone) says, "He is such a wimp."

I say, "Yes, he's not very brave."

Jeff says, "I hate to break it to you, but Loki would probably be in Hufflepuff."

I laugh.

Jeff says, "Because he is also not that smart.  He doesn't even have a brain."

I say, "Hey!" (He is always saying the kitty doesn't have a brain.)

Jeff says, "Let's do all the pets we know!  Alice.  Alice is definitely a Slytherin.  She's ambitious and a little mean."

I agree.

"Now Guy.  Guy is a Gryffindor.  He is brave.  He stood up to that little dog, one time."

This goes on for a little while.  Most cats are either in Slytherin or Hufflepuff.  We only really know one dog, and she is a Gryiffindor, though more for being reckless than brave, which is an important distinction.  "Like Ron," Jeff says, "Mostly he just doesn't think.  Like Kaiser." 

We can't think of any pets that would belong to Ravenclaw.

My tabby cat would totally go into Ravenclaw. She's supper shy of new people -- not at all the brave Gryffindor type -- but she's also super smart and affectionate. And absolutely awesome at catching any bugs that wander into the apartment. At the same time she's not particularly sly or devious or self serving.

I think my fluffy cat would be a Gryffindor though. She's a people-cat. And almost stupidly brave/trusting.

Oh, and the picture of Guy and his portrait that you linked to is ADORABLE!

My dog would be a Gryffindor. He's brave and smart even at his age. And my only cat would definitely be a Slytherin. Cats have brains. But they'd just rather use it only when it's important for their survival--like when hunting for food.
