Right. Although, it's kinda tough to think of a creature *left*
in orbit as a "pet" in space...
On a happier note, I think cats would do better in free-fall,
since they're used to jumping around, and adjusting their course
in mid-air. Or maybe not -- maybe their balance is so sensitive
that free-fall would throw it off.
All I know is, Homer Simpson, ants, and potato chips do not
mix well in microgravity... ;-)
