 I'm not sure if this ermine could be considered a pet...

 
but this cat seems right at home in one of the stranger postcards I've received.  It makes me laugh! 
and these two seem to be comfortable with each other
 
I apologize for the lateness... the original post seems to have disappeared, so I had to redo it.

The ermine looks pretty relaxed there, I think it qualifies! My pets are here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2026/03/postcard-hunt-animals-pets.html

Does the artwork mention ermine? I wonder if it's a ferret? I don't care for them as pets, but they are quite popular in some states (legal in mine, not in all).
My pets are common:
