Common Wrong Answers
“Dog”
While dogs can be stealthy and affectionate, they are typically more vocal and less independent than cats. The riddle emphasizes stealth and cunning, which are traits more commonly associated with cats.
“Mouse”
Mice can be stealthy and are often loved by pet owners, but they are not known for being affectionate in the same way cats are, and they are usually seen as prey rather than a beloved pet.
“Owl”
Owls are stealthy and associated with night, but they are not typically affectionate or loved in the same way as cats. The riddle focuses on a companion animal that people often have a bond with.
