I’ve had both the Devoted Cult Member and the Hungover Roommate. We also had a bunch of Complete Strangers in the living room until the Great Aged Aquarium Disaster of 2020.
I’ve had various hungover roommates over the years, but did have complete strangers way back when. And, yes, those aquarium disasters can be quite the event.
We currently have a DCM – a sweet miniature schnauzer – now, and I had a yellow Lab retriever named Mary Joe, who I named after the daughter of the guy who gave her to me as a puppy. And back in the mists of time – 1987 to 1992 – I was owned by a chinchilla Persian who ran away from her previous house and decided to stay at ours.
(Hilariously, my mother shooed the Hungover Roommate out of the house three times, but Natasha – the name she deigned to go by – insisted on staying with us.)

That’s an impressive list of house guests. And, yes, once they find a place to lie down, those hungover roommates won’t budge.

I guess that’s why us “dog people” love them so much. Creepy uncle…*shudder*

Funny how you’d scritch the ears (and other parts) of both your Devoted Cult Members and the Hungover Roomates!
You must have tolerated some interesting roommates in your day.
Regardless of the type, if you feed ’em, they’ll stay forever.
