That would be cool, but it would really get in the way, and would scratch the furniture up awfully.

Hey, I owned a cat before. I think I know how to deal with scracthed furniture. :P

And think about the benefits. It'd be the end of being bothered by annoying door to door salesmen. Or, at least the end for them if they keep bothering me.

Scratches six inches deep and several feet long though?

I'm convinced - breeding programmes must be started immediately. :)

Well, if it's trainable...

A pet deinonychus? Do you know how those damn things jump? If your fence is six feet or lower, you'll have constant complaints from the neighbors - "Your dinosaur has treed my cat again," or "Can you please have your dinosaur stop eating my lunch guests," or things like that.

Besides, they're pack hunters. You only intend to get one, and the next thing you know - six deinonychuses (deinonychi?) hopping around the yard.

I think a velociraptor would be easier to keep, they're smaller. Of course, if you have the budget, nothing beats a utahraptor...

Thanks for the links, Jordanis. :)

I'd go old-school and get a Triceratops, myself.
