I do the same too, but I find that I can only dote on certain fluffies more than others. Of course, I’m not an abuser and stricly against it, but there are some fluffies that I have more of a vested interest in (like Avocado, Plum, Dr. Crazystein and others) over the average “pwease kine mistah fwuffy onway wan nyu housie for babbehs” fluffy.
That said, I can’t think of Avocado the same way I would for, say, Plum, or the protagonist of what I call Carpdime’s a life of her own. To me, Avocado is meant to be a domestic and, even if he matures, I could see him benefitting or working better within a human society. The same would not apply to a fluffy thats used to be a feral, or has developed his/her/its own life independent of the humans. There’s something more mature, adult and dangerous about it, and yet, a bit more respectable. In the case of a fluffy like that, especially one that would rather not live with humans, I’d gladly let them have their own space. I wouldn’t treat those fluffies as children nor pets.
