I love my mice tremendously much as individuals but still feel a far greater loyalty to guinea pigs as a species. Mice are cute and goofy but they're ultimately pretty normal animals, as animals go. They make sense.

Guinea pigs have a sort of lovable absurdity to them that really speaks to me, a feeling that they, too, have no idea why they are shaped the way they are and have the desires they do.

I like mouse. I am guinea pig. 🐹
