The Slice: Would your pet throw you a ‘party?’

Sure, you might think you have the answer.

You could assume the evidence makes it clear.

But eventually you are going to want to know for sure: Which human in your household does your pet like best?

This can be a touchy subject in homes with more than one person. Still, sometimes we need to know the truth.

So today The Slice presents the Spokane Animal Companion Affection Quiz.

Just ask your pet these questions, wait for the answers and learn where you stand. Feel free to use interspecies telepathy.

• Whose voice is most soothing?

• In any admittedly unfortunate Donner Party scenario in which you (the household animal) would be forced to consider the pet owners as a food source, which resident human would be the last on your list to be viewed as potential sustenance?

• The sound of whose footsteps makes your pulse race when he or she approaches the front door from the outside?

• Whose bed or side of the bed do you get on/want to get on?

• Which human have you gone the longest without biting or scratching?

• Who is the best at serving up pet food?

• Which household human has the best sense of humor?

• Whose petting do you crave?

• Which of your two-legged housemates has the best lap?

• Which human has the most pleasing smell?

• Which human most needs your emotional support?

• Who do you consider to be the most vulnerable member of the family?

• Who really understands you?

• Who do you lick or shin-rub most?

Slice answer: “Although I have never eaten lutefisk, I grew up in Ballard, a mostly Norwegian community, and heard enough about it from my classmates that I could listen to a description of it without gagging,” wrote Mary Ann Barney. “And I chanted our cheer as lustily as my friends at ball games.”

Lutefisk, lutefisk, lefsa, lefsa
