I have decided to change the name of the territory. This was a spur of the moment decision. I woke up this morning and decided to change the name. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have been feeling that this territory felt limiting to me. I get obsessions about weird pets and the wildlife I encounter where I live, and I sometimes would like to post about it.

I know SN plans to eventually allow for sub-territories. It seems like this new name would lend itself to that eventuality. I can see Dogs and Cats having their own sub.

We will see how it goes. It's not as if I am taking a big chance, since this territory has always been a labor of love anyway, and I'm not really worried about sat profitability.

So, if you're obsessed with african cichlids(like me), backyard pond wildlife, gray parrots, or elephants, post away!

Man, that took forever! It was kinda racist before, but it's all good now 🤠 Time to show off my crickets.

Oh that's great!

Awesome. Love the name change. I am glad you went with something broader than simply Pets.

You recommended pets to me a while back, so I was thinking about that name this morning too.

reply

It seemed the most obvious transition but I am glad you found something better and broader.

Some are close to humans, some are not. According to one study, goats are the animal closest to humans emotionally.
There are Dolphins and octopuses in the seas that show similar affinity.

This was a good decision.

Thanks. Goats are fascinating animals. My mom had them as a kid. Her immigrant family kept them in a NYC backyard!

Great idea cats and dogs was very niche for sure. I see great things for the territory with a wider view

Anything referring to animals for me is a win. Nothing more pure than an animal's heart. Starting following you today btw. Hope to see more posts from you Siggy

Welcome and thanks

Excellent, it opens the possibility of talking about other animals that are also interesting.

reply

That's a really good idea imo. It really opens up a lot of options to post here! Well done.

Good switch. One of things I liked doomscrolling on nostr and previously x was seeing random pics and photos about the animal kingdom.

Just yesterday it was national polar bear day and I saw this clip on Snapchat

Wow, that's really great. It opens up so many possibilities. Now I can post about all kinds of animals, not just cats and dogs. Looking forward to seeing all the different animal-related posts.

Great idea, sig

I hope so

reply

Much as I love my dog and cats, there are tons of cute and/or fascinating animals to share videos and talk about, so I like this change.

reply

I love this idea! With this name the territory will be more versatile. There are many amazing animals that we can talk about.
