If you're childless, do you talk about your furkids and show pictures of them

5. Not in conversations about kids.
I do not equate my beloved animals with human children.

6. No. It's a bit of a non-sequitor I think.
If they expressed an interest, sure, but most people, most of the time, really aren't all that interested in other people's pets. Especially when talking about their children.

8. No...I don't like it
when people stick pictures of their stupid kids in my face, so I assume others would feel similarly about photos of my animals.

9. It isn't an either/or thing. Some people with grandkids also have furkids.
But as a general rule, no, I don't.

And I'm childfree, not childless.

11. Only if I'm being harassed about not having kids
With the general litany of bingos: "Oh, you might still change your mind" or "Kids aren't really that expensive" or "You could just 'ooops' him, you know."
