Boss Rush Banter: Do You Have a Gaming Buddy? (Warning: Cat Pics Incoming)

Pets are just the best, aren’t they?

While gaming is more of a “human” activity–be it single-player campaigns or multi-player raids–many of us have our own companions that enjoy spending time with us while we play. I have a Stray-clone named Paxil who always sits on my lap or curled up by me while I game. Do you have a gaming buddy?

This question is not your typical Boss Rush Banter debate, but I wanted to open it up for the community to share their experiences gaming with their pets. Some are curious and watch the screen intently, perhaps even assist with a bark or meow. Others prefer just to cuddle and show us moral support. Every animal is different. I have two cats, one could care less if I fell off a cliff, while the other (Paxil) won’t leave my side.

This didn’t last long…

Paxil enjoys watching Stray (shocker) and Pokemon Violet. Do you have any pets that chill with you while you game? Let’s see some pics of our furry (and non-furry) companions IRL! Please share your thoughts with us on our Boss Rush Facebook Group or our Boss Rush Discord.
