Would people really let some stray live with them? Can't imagine having a pet. They convert money and time into poop and stink and offer nothing in return. Never understood the appeal, yet I love all animals.

offer nothing in return

Warmth, company, fun...? Also, the experience of being responsible for and caring for another being can be very valuable.

Comment above is crazy but also, animals are not toys. It's pretty crazy to want to own animals and make them live with you. Fortunately (idk) some animals co-evolved with us and became dependant of human farming/breeding/ownership

Having pets live with you is not (necessarily) the same as treating them like toys, though, is it?

No, of course
