[Zane the Fox]

As the Topic said, what is the owner thing is about? I not sure if this topic is alredy made then Sorry and please point me the right way as I seem to can't find it. But anyway, I been seeing alot stuff about owner and it have gotting me abit curious about it. So I woundering if anyone is willing to explain it to me.

Exactly that - when someone is a "pet" and they have an "owner".

I'm going to paste this here from the Pets Looking thread:

Edit by WingedZephyr:

Because it's been asked a number of times, for people who don't know what the master/pet thing is about, here's your answer -

Spoiler for Hidden:

So, I'm not gonna lie, this whole pet/owner thing has me a bit out of place, as I don't really know what it's about. Could someone explain it to me, cause even though I don't really know anything about it, it still kind of has my interest.

WELL

some furries like to have a owner, not LITTERLAY but for fun. or they want to have another fur for a pet, for fun.

its sorta a submissive/dominant thing

Is it bad that my first thought when reading the "submissive/dominant" thing is it's sexual related? I think that's more indicative of my intensely perverted mind than anything else.

haha. no, its not sexual at all.

i have a fairly flip floppy personality...so i enjoy being submissive AND dominant. hence, im doing both. i have pets and am also looking for a owner myself

Question: so if nothing sexual whatsoever, what is the point of this other than being able to put it on your profile page?
Just curious.

It's just a title for the funsies, really. It can become sexual if the two involved are okay with that and are in close enough proximity to one another to make such a relationship happen, but it's not necessary. It's completely up to the master and pet if they want to take things that far.

My best guess is its a subject started by the owner
