| | Menagerie Displays If it doesn't come in a cage or a tank, you will find it on the displays. Aside from the animals available in the store, you can also buy numerous supplies here as well. From health to medicinal to necessities to toys and accessories, you can find anything your new pet may need or desire just by browsing the displays! No matter the pet, you are sure to find a variety of supplies to welcome yours into the family, or pamper an old friend.
Numerous different foods can be found, from sensitive stomach to diet, and regular. If you need shampoo of any kind, they can be found in this area, too. If your pet has fleas or ticks, you can take care of them with a bottle or two. Of course, if you just want your Crup to stop smelling like wet Cruppie, these shampoos can even take care of that! While you're here, check out some of the grooming supplies. Brushes of all shapes, sizes, and materials are available. Snag a smaller brush to fluff up your pygmy puff's fur, maybe a wiry brush to tame your Niffler's hair, and your cat or dog would probably greatly enjoy a dander-snagging brush to keep them smooth and sparkly.
Necessary supplies include such items as tanks, aquariums, cages, travel cages, and more. Make sure to buy everything you need; wouldn't you hate to get home and find out you forgot something? If you need to, talk to the shop keeper to make sure you're buying the appropriate size and type of cage for your new pet. Some animals need much larger environments and some do not do well in certain types of cages.
If toys and accessories are what your pet is desiring, you'll find a plethora! Collars and leashes are just the tip of the iceberg. Your pet can be the most stylish if you pick up some nifty outfits for them. Mix and match the pieces to create a fashionable wardrobe! Booties are available for when the weather becomes too cold for your pets to bear it. All kinds of toys can be found here - from balls to squeaky toys, fake mice, feathers, dangly toys, shiny flashy toys... Your pet will never be bored with this selection.
When you've found the creature you've been looking for, please make your way to the counter for purchase!
If you are looking for animals, please see our creatures room.

Finally, I'm getting my DOG. Not a crup, either, but a plain old mundane doggy dog." She hugged him again and then scooped up all the collars. "I don't know if she's a sweet girl or a fancy girl or a tough girl or a playful girl, so I don't know which collar to get. And then the leash... and she'll need toys! I want her to have everything." He had expected this reaction, Chloe was always good for those. Though he wasn't so sure the shopkeep would take to her just dropping all their wares like thing, except he did not have too much time to think that over as his arms were being demanded for and then easily wrapped around the Ravenclaw. Not as tightly, however.
"Oh," he said with a bit of a frown, because this was sorta sounding like those promises adults make but never follow through with. Though that thought faded away as she continued to speak. "Brilliant! Floppy ears you say? That mean Bassett? Spaniel? What breed is she?" Very important information to the aspiring magizoologist.

She was getting a dog and he was sad about it? She poked him in the stomach very gently and pulled a goofy face, because that was how one cheered up a Derf.
"Bassett! And brown eyes!" Those were important, because they were so big and sad and warm. "I need a name for her. What do you think of Clarabelle? Clara?" She dropped most of the collars back into the bin before offering up a pink one with a sweet little bow and a sparkly blue and silver one. "What do you think?"

She wasn't entirely sure when her own parents were supposed to even return home. It was more like her big sister was the parent now... Rian knew everything that was going on both at home and at Hogwarts. Having parents that were now almost always somewhere on business it was tough to fill them in on all the things going on. "Um.. not exactly? I told my brother and my big sister found out... so she told my parents." She had only kept her mouth shut about it because she didn't want anyone to worry. "A treehouse? Lucky. We don't have one of those... but we do have the lake to swim in whenever we want." Which she did quite a lot when the weather was nice enough.
Once Dorian had gotten a good peek at Neptune she fixed her bag back onto her shoulder. "Thanks. I like Ammonite's name too." It was really cute.
Oops. Rylee giggled. "Mine too! Well... I like all the colors but purple the most!" She nodded. "Uh-huh. It should've stayed that way too. It's more pretty and noticeable." Purple was bright and pretty. There was no way to miss it. "Oh, lots of colors go nicely with purple. It depends on if you want a nicely complimented combination or something that will really stand out. Black always works but pairing purple with silver is really pretty or a yellowish-gold is nice too." She could go on all day long talking about color pairings if he let her. Of course siblings had to ruin it. Not that he knew how that worked as he was an only child....or maybe not? he knew he was adopted but he never knew if he had a sibling somewhere... he'd never thought about it. Must asked dad later. "My dad works at the Ministers Office so he knew before i could tell him and he still makes me go to Hogwarts" he sighed and shook his head. "It was worse in my day, you're going back to school" he said, trying to mimic his father's voice. "Worse in his day...how does the school not close, right?" Not that he wanted it t close but still... "And we don't have a lake" he laughed. "I'm not much of a swimmer anyway, i prefer going fishing" His grandfather bought him to a lake each year to fish. It was a thing he continued at Hogwarts and he could often be found fishing at the Great Lake after he was sure that the Giant Squid would not take him to the depth of it. "You should totally come over some time , i can show you the treehouse"
Holding the yellow cloak up to examine it, Dorian listened as Rylee told him the color combinations that suited purple. Funny how he was asking her when his father used to work in fashion. Oh wait he knew why, because his father would NOT stop talking about it even when Dorian clearly showed no interest anymore. "I think i'm gonna go with gold-yellowish...Wouldn't it be cool if Ammonite got a sparkling cloak?" the idea alone was absurd but the more he thought about it the more he needed it. "What are you going to buy for Neptune" because she was here to buy something right?

Rylee wasn't sure she would like it if her parents knew everything that happened around school. "Well lots happens at Hogwarts and it never closes down... maybe all that happens to us is how we become really strong witches and wizards?" It made sense. If they weren't completely traumatized along the way that is.
Rylee giggled. "We go fishing in the little creek in the forest sometimes behind the house!" By we she mostly meant Reese but she always went with him and they had a great time. "I would love to, if it's okay with your dad! Maybe you can come over and see the lake even if you don't want to swim in it." More giggles.
She had turned to once more examine the small pet clothing while Dorian continued eyeing that little cloak he was holding. "That would be awesome! I think he would look really cute with a sparkly cloak." Anything that sparkled was the best. Rylee chewed her bottom lip in thought. "I'm not sure. I was going to get him something he could wear but I don't know if he would actually wear it."

She dropped most of the collars back into the bin before offering up a pink one with a sweet little bow and a sparkly blue and silver one. "What do you think?" Was sorta trying to collect his thoughts a little and not be a stick in the mud with some of his conspiracy theories about adults and their lack of secret keeping abilities (hadn't magical history kinda taught them that that WAS kinda sketchy anyway?!) and therefore was not entirely paying attention when Chloe moved. The poke naturally elicited a bit of a Pillsbury Dough Boy kind of reaction from the 15-year-old - just his tummy was, well, considerably firmer than that of the baked goods mascot.
"A Basset Hound!?" he repeated, eyes clearly widening in delight at this information. "That is impeccably fitting, ya know. Since, well, that breed is both...you know...dignified but clownish...sociable and gets along well with everyone. Just like you! Minus all the drool because, well, you don't drool that much...that I know...unless you do so in your sleep and since we haven't ever slept together I can't make any sort of assessment..." Okay, time to stop talking. AND he could forget his distrust in adult promises for now because there was officially puppy business to discuss. "Well..you know the name Basset comes from French, yeah? So having a French name makes loads of sense. Hmmm...Chloe and Clarabelle..." He paused there to wrinkle his nose because nah, that did not have a ring to it. "Chloe and Clara...hmmm." He thought the name needed to have a similiar sounding ending to Chloe so he gave this a bit more of a think. "Cammi? She was a warrior maid in the Aeneid...or um...Chloe and Clover? That also has kinda a nice ring to it..."

And he also just called her clownish, drooly, and then said things about sleeping together, and Derf earned himself a proper nose wrinkle. Well, boys were sometimes incredibly silly.
"I don't drool and if you ever slept over, you'd know that I don't snore or kick or do anything else that's undignified." She grabbed a leash that matched the collar and began to sort through the stuffed toys. "But I'll take your names under advisement." In fact, she had a tiny book in her back pocket, chock full of possible names (over 85 of them), and Chloe pulled out the tiny tablet and scribbled 'Clover' and 'Cammi' at the bottom of the list. Over 87 now.

| Come play with us! (New shopkeeper! xD) Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Evan had made his way up and down every aisle in the shop already. Three times. It was still a surreal feeling to him that this shop was now his. For years and years he had come in here on his own and with his family. Now he was the one running things. So much had to be done. Cages and tanks had to be cleaned, creatures had to be fed and many many items had to be ordered.
This was the reasoning for the several clipboards he was carrying underneath his arm. Everything that needed to be done was being noted on one of the clipboards, each marked in a different color that would allow him to know what he was looking at upon first glance.
While the lights were on and the shop was currently open, that didn't mean he couldn't get started on fixing things up. So many ideas were flitting through his brain ready to take on the task with full force. Evan was more than ready to update this shop and give each and every creature better more updated enclosures until they found their forever homes.

Lexi pushed open the door, and paused, glancing up at the door frame. No bell, huh. Shame, too. Lexi was of the distinct every small shop like this needed an old fashioned bell over the door. Yeppers.
Oh, my. All the adorable little critters!! No, no, Lexi. Restraint. No buying fluffs until you and Tammers find an actual house to live in. But.... No. With one last longing glance at the crup puppers -Cruppers! Coined.- she turned her attention the only man in the shop at the moment and flashed him a bright smile. He wasn't bad looking at all. If she weren't married, and, you know, straight, she'd probably very interested. So, where were all single ladies? Adorable cruppies, attractive owner, you can't top this.
He was the owner right? Probs. "Hi! Would you happen to have timothy hay for rabbits? Ours eats through the stuff like crazy! Never seems to gain weight though, lucky little bugger. Oh, right, manners. I'm Lexi, the new owner of Madame Primpernelle's."

| Lexi! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium While there may not have been a bell to alert the women's presence into the shop, there was going to be one soon. It was on his list of fixes for the shop as well as repainting, rearranging the shelves, possibly moving around some cages and tanks and other things to spruce up the area.
Despite there being no true noise upon the lady's entrance, Evan heard the soft footfalls and exclamations as she wandered around looking at all the creatures his shop had to offer. It wasn't long before he came face to face with his first customer. Best not mess this up, Evan he mentally warned himself. It had been years since he had run a shop but at least it was those former skills of his that had gotten him this place. And the help of his family of course.
Right away a warm smile spread across his face and he held out his hand for her to shake. "Nice to meet you, Lexi. Evan Donovan, the new owner of Magical Menagerie." There was just a hint of pride in his tone. "Ah, Madame Primpernelle's. I'll have to stop in with my girls and have a look around once you have things settled?" His daughters and granddaughter loved that shop. "I certainly do have timothy hay, several types and sizes in fact. Right this way."
Evan led Lexi down the aisles where all the smaller creature food was stocked. "There you are." As he had said there was a few types of timothy hay currently in stock ranging from just the hay itself to the hay mixtures containing different berries or added vitamins for rabbits should they need it. "What type of rabbit is it you have?" he asked making light conversation while the shop was still quiet. Perhaps she would need other items for the bunny as well?

Hogwarts RPG Name: Katarina Emily Denaker First Year | Sorry for the delay, been a busy week. Fluttery Pegasi "Lovely to meet you too, Evan." Lexi took the offered hand and gave it a gentle shake. Firm handshakes were not her thing, but that was quite all right by her. "And please do! I'll even give the girls a discount. We also carry products for men, if you ever wanted to treat yourself."
She followed along after him, surveying the offered variety of timothy hay stocked. "Oh, he's an American fuzzy lop. We named him Super Fluff the Wonder Rabbit, and generally call him Fluff for short. I think..." Her hand hovered a second over the options, before closing over the timothy hay mixed with berries, "I'll try this for now. See how he likes it. And if he does, I'll be back to get more."
She smiled up at him, then glanced over at the animals waiting to find a home. "You wouldn't be able to get a sugar glider at all, would you? They're my patronus, and I would love to adopt one!"

| Lexi! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Evan smiled keeping the handshake short and light. You could learn a lot from someone just by shaking their hand. "I'm quite sure my little princesses would love to have a look around." His girls enjoyed getting their hair and nails done and wearing pretty 'make-up' like their mummy and big sisters. "Is that so? I might just have to take a look sometime." Typically when in a shop such as hers he focused on his little ladies and didn't even think about whether or not they had items for men. "Fluff the Wonder Rabbit sounds like a fine name for a fuzzy bunny." His children would sure get a kick out of hearing about this! "A lot of the rabbits do tend to go for the berries first," he laughed. "If there's another type Fluff prefers just let me know and I'll see to getting it in stock here." Anything to please and be of help to his customers!
Notices her looking towards the animals and smiles. "You're welcome to have a look around and see if anyone calls out to you." As his daughter always says, 'A creature will let you know if they trust you enough to care for them'. Oh, a request! "I don't see why not. I can make some calls and see what I can do?" He already had the perfect person in mind to call too.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Katarina Emily Denaker First Year | Fluttery Pegasi "Good! It's settled then," said Lexi with a nod and a smile. "I look forward to your visit with your girls." She glanced back at the hay option and shook her head. "Mostly we've gotten him just basic timothy hay because that was easiest to find in the states, but I have a feeling the hay and berry mix might become his favorite. He's gonna love you!"
Evan's reply pulled Lexi's attention away from the cute critters so fast one would be forgiven in thinking the blonde had just given herself whiplash. Except that the radiant, excited smile that lit up her eyes, dispelled the idea of an injury. "Really!?" Lexi hopped twice in excitement. "I think you just became my new best friend, buster!" Unfortunately, however, Lexi had to get back to her shop, so as much as she wanted to play with all the cute animals, and chat more with her new best friend who was going to get her a sugar glider... "I should be getting back, but don't worry. You haven't seen the last of me. How much do I owe you?"

| Lexi! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium It was very much settled. One of these days he would bring the girls over to her shop. Evan smiled warmly. "The states you said? Where about in the states are you from?" It wasn't often he heard someone say they were here from the states. It made him think about going back from time to time but this was where his home was now. "Well I'll have to meet the little guy soon!"
Evan chuckled lightly at how quickly he had Lexi's attention. "I can't say one hundred percent how long it might take me to get my hands on one but I will certainly do what I can." It would be a special order and he didn't know where the creature would be coming from as of yet but he would look into all of that. It was his job. "I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything." Another laugh from him. "That would be ten sickles and twenty-three knuts." Right now most brands of creature food were all priced the same. It made things much easier to keep tabs on. It was a strange amount though he felt so there might be a bit of price adjusting happening soon.

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Joshua walked with very, very reluctant steps through the door to the Magical Menagerie. He was not at all amused or excited or any other feeling that everyone else always showed and talked about when they were going shopping for something. He hated all kinds of shopping, he only did it when he had to. If he could get someone else to do it for him Josh would have. For this though he couldn’t ask a family member or a friend. This was personal and something he could only do on his own, it was like with buying plants.
Going over to the nearest cages the middle aged 35ish tall dark haired man stopped to browse the creatures and read the accompanying plaques. How was he supposed to know what creature of all these would be a perfect pet for a guy that was surrounded by plants every day and soon hundreds of kids? He felt lost. Turning around Josh called out "Hello, can i get some assistance over here?" He'd get help and would be out of there quick enough.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Katarina Emily Denaker First Year | Evan! Fluttery Pegasi "New York! Manhattan, to be precise. Lexington avenue, to be percise-er. Which is how I got my name." Not that he was interested in her life story. As for Super Fluff the Wonder Rabbit. "I'll bring him by next time I come in to get him hay!" He was a unique rabbit. Not as skiddish and nervous as rabbits are supposed to be, and loved to be snuggled. Sometimes demanded it. "He's sorta more dog than rabbit, really. Like a husky in a rabbit body."
Yes, yes. Lexi knew to be realistic about the time it would take to get a sugar glider. She knew it. She just was never good at grasping it, honestly. And his words of temperance did almost nothing to curb her excitement. "No, no. Of course, I completely understand." Just as long as he was aware she was probably gonna ask him about it every time she saw him. She was annoyingly loveable like that. 10 sickles and 23 knuts. Wait, weren't there only 21 knuts in a sickle....no....no, 29! That was it. Lexi pulled out her wallet, and counted out 10 sickles and 23 knuts. How much was that in Dragots though? "Here you go. And thank you so much for everything!" Particularly, the sugar glider. Y'know? In advance and all.

| Lexi & Joshua! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium "Really? I lived in Long Island for several years," Evan replied chuckling. Well it was more like around seventeen years or so but that didn't matter anymore. "You should! Perhaps he'll find a friend in here." There was plenty of bunnies in the shop just waiting for that perfect person to come along and bring them home.
Evan knew that someone saying they understood and them actually really understanding was two very different things. Special orders took time and this wasn't like he was ordering a new brand of food or even a custom cage. This was a creature. While it wasn't a dangerous creature by any means it was one that would require the proper paperwork and a special breeder to ensure it's health. Not that he wouldn't be having the sugar glider fully looked over by his own daughter upon it's arrival just as every other animal in the shop is.
Evan smiled waiting as Lexi fished out the proper amount. "Anytime! Tell Super Fluff the Wonder Rabbit I say and hi and I'll be seeing you again soon." Within a few days time at the most. He hoped to have an update on things by then and if not he would stop in her shop with his girls.
Following Lexi back to the front of the shop Evan put the coins into the register after making note of what was bought. A call for assistance quickly reached the man and he set the clipboards he had been carrying down on the counter.
Making his way towards the voice he smiled warmly. "Hello, Evan Donovan, shopkeeper. What can I help you with?" He held out a hand in greeting towards the other man (Joshua). Whatever it was he was looking for he would be able to help him find it and if by some chance it wasn't in the shop he would do his very best to get it.

Whatever it was he was looking for he would be able to help him find it and if by some chance it wasn't in the shop he would do his very best to get it. While Joshua waited for the shopkeeper to come over and assist him he kept himself busy with studying the creatures and reading the plaques of information on their cages. He thought that would help but it didn’t, it just made him stressed and wishing he hadn’t gone in there in the first place.
When the shopkeeper finally came over Josh straightened up and shook the man's outstretched hand firmly with a half smile "It's a pleasure to meet you Evan, I'm Joshua Wishart. In a few month's i'll be starting my new job as Herbology professor at Hogwarts. Can you suggest any creatures that'd work well living surrounded by plants and fungi in the school greenhouses?"

| Joshua! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Well would you look at that, a new Hogwarts professor asking him for help. This was certainly interesting. The man standing before him could very well be teaching his children in a few short years. "It's a pleasure to meet you Joshua." He smiled shaking the man's hand firmly. A good strong handshake, he liked that. "The creatures would be remaining in the greenhouses or would they only be in there while you're in there as well?" Herbology hadn't been his best lesson while in school but he also hadn't failed it either. Right away his mind went to work as he looked around at all the tanks and cages. "It also depends on what type of creature you're really interested in. One that would be in a tank or one that can roam about freely. Any creature that has free roam of an area has full potential to get into something they shouldn't given the chance. A lot of times it depends on the creatures temperament as well." This might not be as easy as it he thought. "Would you consider using any creature deterrents such as potions or sprays to keep the creature away from any of the more harmful plants and fungi?" This was very important to know and could help narrow down what their looking for. Not to mention he didn't want to cause harm upon the plants either.

This was very important to know and could help narrow down what their looking for. Not to mention he didn't want to cause harm upon the plants either. Josh smiled. It seemed to him that the menagerine’s new shopkeeper was a knowledgeable man, something he appreciated and respected. He had little patience for people that claimed to be experts in a field and then turned out to know less than him. Brushing a hand through his hair he said thoughtfully. "The creatures would only be in the greenhouses while i'm in there too tending to plants and herbs. Rest of the time they'd be in my office." There was the COMC barn Josh knew from his school day’s but he hadn’t met who taught that subject yet, so he didn’t know if he could house a pet there.
Letting his multicoloured eyes travel over to the cages and tanks Josh answered firmly with a glance to the shopkeeper. "I'd prefer a type of creature that can roam freely and be petable." As in have some fur. The next question caused Josh to ponder for a moment before he responded slowly. "I use some creature deterrents such as sprays and potions, but usually sparingly and only to keep the plants and fungi from harm. Some of the pests eat plants and i can’t have that in my greenhouses." Evan would understand right?

| Joshua! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Evan smiled listening to what Joshua told him. This was always much more important then what some might think. Where a creature was to kept and what the purpose of the creature was for really narrowed down what would work and what wouldn't. "Alright that helps quite a bit if it's only to be around the plants when you are in there. If it was to be in the greenhouses full time I would have recommended something in a cage or tank so as to keep it out of harms way whenever you weren't there." Safety first with creatures.
The wheels in his head were already turning. Roam freely and petable. So fur or possible feathers. Right away the possibilities slimmed down but there was still a sizable amount of choices. "That's fine, most people use some form of sprays to keep the pests away. Do double check that whatever you might be using is pet friendly just in case." You never do know with creatures. Even the most well-behaved ones could find themselves in a mess of trouble should the opportunity arise. "Well I have both cats and kittens as well as kneazles. They can certainly get into things if left unattended but there are sprays and potions that they don't like the smell or taste of. I have dogs, puppies and crups as well." The same went for them. "I have rabbits, ferrets, puffskein, rats, hamsters, gerbils and jarvey's." Evan paused for a brief moment to see if any of those sparked interest in the man beside him. "If you would rather something from the winged variety I have many types of birds and bats here in the shop. The only thing I don't keep in here is Fwooper but I can get one if you like."
"Truthfully almost an creature could be problematic in a greenhouse, I won't lie to you. Given the proper training and using some creature deterrents around the more dangerous plants and fungi will be very helpful in the beginning." Given the time any creature could learn to leave the plants alone. Evan was sure they could find something for Joshua, perhaps a more laid back pet.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Natasha Destler First Year | Natasha looks through the various kitten foods. She knew the basic needs of caring for a cat, but never knew there were so many different foods to choose from. She finally decided on a small bag, to make sure her kitten would like it. After the food, she picked out some treats, a small litter box and some scented litter, a red collar, and variety of toys to keep him busy. She looked at the travel cages, but wasn't sure if he would need one. |

Given the time any creature could learn to leave the plants alone. Evan was sure they could find something for Joshua, perhaps a more laid back pet. Cages? Tanks? At this Joshua almost visibly flinched and shuddered. He didn’t like tanks and cages they were too creepy. Probably due to some not so nice pranks he had memories off from his Hogwarts years. "Are there any creatures that can be labelled as plant friendly?" Joshua cut it in as the question crossed his mind.
Nodding he said "Of course, I will double check my sprays. I have to make sure that they are okay to use around students anyway." Joshua didn’t want to be the cause of some students getting sick because of the bug sprays he was using to protect the welfare of his plants, herbs and fungi. "Kneazles? Cats? What’s the difference between a kneazle and a cat?" Joshua asked and then went quiet, losing his other thoughts as Evan recited off a whole bunch of other creatures the shop sold. Blinking he then refocused and asked "So right um are some creatures easier to train than others?" Getting a pet or two seemed harder than Joshua first had expected. But he was adamant about wanting a pet as company for the many day’s he’d spend alone in his greenhouses and office.

| Joshua & Natasha! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium The look on the poor mans face said it all. Evan could tell when someone felt overwhelmed and if this wasn't one of those moments he didn't know what would have been. "Not without the use of a cage or tank. Nearly any creature that is given the opportunity to roam freely is likely to check out plants. Some will do it because it's part of their nature and others just simply because they're curious." While others are just troublemakers but Evan left that part out for now. "Then I don't see a problem with the type of creature you choose. As long as the sprays are harmless you can easily use ones that will keep your pet away." He wasn't big on plants and flowers but he daughter was and she had several creatures at home as well as babies and plants.
Evan smiled. "A kneazle is a highly intelligent creature that is similar to your average cat. They have a knack for being able to spot deception and know when someone just isn't who they appear to be. Very loyal when they bond with a witch or wizard as well." Pausing a moment he gestured for Joshua to follow him. "These are kneazles." There was several different ones in varying shades of color with speckles or spots on their fur. "Those over here," he nodded towards another area close by, "are different breeds of muggle cats." "You're welcome to play with them if you like." Only true way to know if one of them would like him and he would like them as well. As for other question. "Yes, definitely. Dogs and crups while they can be very rambunctious at first, with the proper training they can learn what you want them to very quickly. It's all about repetition with them and rewarding them for a job well done. Cats and Kneazles can certainly learn as well but some find them a bit more stubborn." It was truly a matter of preference and the individual creature. "There's also birds. Not only can they deliver mail but they do make pleasant companions and a few talk as well as learn quite a large selection of tricks."
Pausing yet against Evan noticed the young girl (Natasha) from earlier. "If you need any help at all please don't hesitate to ask." That after all was his job.
