About This Quiz

If you had a billion-dollar income and lived on a giant compound, how many pets would you adopt? Would you stick to owning just one perfect greyhound, or would you own pets of every variety, from parrots to tarantulas to dwarf goats to mastiffs? If your answer is "I want ALL the pets," this is the quiz for you!

We want you to imagine that you have the ability to adopt as many pets as you want, from llamas to gerbils to Siamese cats. Don't worry about cleaning up after them or feeding them ⁠— that's what your team of pet care specialists is for! As part of the fantasy, we're going to ask you which tiny dog breed you want to get, whether you prefer gerbils over bunnies, which spooky cats float your boat and if you'd like to own your very own Arabian.

In exchange for telling us which pets intrigue you, we'll guess which generation you're from. Believe it or not, the pets you find compelling actually say a lot about which stage of life you're at. Think you're the exception to this rule? Prove it — tell us which pets you can't live without and we'll reveal your exact age!
