If you're not a biologist you probably don't care, but the fact is

#A carpet is not actually a pet at all

Telling a carpet from a pet:

  • carpets spend very little time begging for food
  • carpets don't scream when you step on them
  • there is no such thing as a teacher's carpet

If my carpet isn't begging for food, why does it always get the table scraps? Checkmate, atheists.
