Are there any pets without fur or feathers that show affection?
I'm allergic. I have owned fish and a turtle before but am wondering if there is anything more social with humans.

It's the dander and saliva enzyme thingies I'm allergic to

Argentine tegus.

Affection is just what humans project onto their animals. A dog doesn't really love you no more than a cat loves you.

kek
ok, catfag, science shows us otherwise
>>2382633
>Dogfags actually believe that their dog loves them on their own free will and not just biologically program to stay with you because their pack animals.
Dogfags are the worst. Now I'm gonna hear some story about how your dog is such a "sweet heart" and how it cuddles up to you and shit. Fuck off, dogs and cats suck.
>>2382628
i saw a webm of one of those
it was a cute webm
>>2382637
>dogs and cats suck
i was going to just laugh at your brain parasites but now i'm just gonna laugh at your autism
>>2382639
Great comeback dogfag, now go clean up your dogs shit.
>>2382637
Humans are biologically programed to feel love, just like dogs. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>2382640
nah i'l just leave it in your front yard for you to step in and hate life even more
Um... a Xoloitzcuintli?
>>2382643
So you rather have your yard full of shit just so I can step in it? LOOLOLOLOLOL I'd just used the sidewalk ya fucking tardo. Dogfags are as dumb as their pets.

>Beardies
>Iguanas, if raised from infant
>Savannah monsters can be "dog-tame"
There are a bunch of hypo-allergenic animals to choose from, but like with every animal you need the know-how; it just my be know-how you're not familiar with.
Plug for beardies
Naked mole rat
For some reason Im just not fond of fluffy animals (and who the fuck wants a bird anyway, loud shits), I've had different reptiles and fish and can definitely recommend beardies. Wouldn't suggest raising it from young though, you can maybe look into getting one from a shelter or check if someone is trying to sell theirs. It's usually cheaper and you get to see their personality beforehand.
Would also recommend blue tongue skinks. Both can be super fun to feed and will love lounging on top of you for body heat. They can't show traditional affection, but if they are calm and relaxed around you, it shows they trust you which is probably the most they can do since their brains aren't wired like ours.
A similar reptile would be the ball python since they are relatively calm and pretty great.
Tegus and monitors are not something I would recommend, they cost a bunch to take care of and are pretty bad for a more inexperienced owner.

Horses. I guess you could call their hair fur, though.

Jesus, this is a fantastic level of autism even for this site.
pigs
>>2382611
A snake won't love you, but they can enjoy a warm-blooded cuddle.
Would recommend just get a regular pet that likes being bathed, and bath it frequently. It's a good way to form a bond, and keeps them all soft and shiny for maximum petability, in addition to keeping the allergens down.
>And remember your own hygiene; they might be allergic to you!
Seconding tegu!

women
>>2383587
not recommended, especially for beginners
women are expensive and have huge unexpected costs.
plus they are really care intensive and you need to train them well if you want them to love you
>>2383249
Horses are giant pains in the ass hat spend all their free time finding ways to hurt themselves and break things.
>>2383563
are monitor lizards less affectionate?
>>2382628
please don't suggest them to people who do not know a lot about these animals
they can seriously injure a person
>>2382611
no. feathers and fur contain the neurons responsible for affection
>>2383666
more like the person will kill the tegu
>>2383661
read that as
>horses are a giant penis in the ass
>>2383702
Well, that too...
>>2382704
Iguanas and tegus are a bad idea, anon. They are very high manteinance, more than what people expect.
>>2382611
Can't you get some prescriptions to decrease symptoms, I got nose spray and pills that work quite well against allergy symptoms.
That sucks, I went to an allergologist(don't know the english term) and he got me some good meds.
>>2383664
Reptiles in general aren't affectionate, tegus are kind of a rarity with how friendly they can be.
Naked mole rat.
>>2383702
mr. hands? i thought you died
Try to go visit some exotic mammals.
You might be allergic to dogs and cats, but maybe are fine with something weird enough.
>>2382631
Affection is just what humans project onto other humans. Dogs get restless when you leave because they experience separation anxiety. They can't function emotionally or physically without a human or a companion
>>2382637
So what makes humans any different exactly?
