183: Pets of the Final Frontier

What does pet ownership say about characters on Star Trek? Does the show challenge or reinforce gendered stereotypes about pets and their owners? Why aren’t the cats on the Enterprise-D spayed/neutered? And would you take your pet on a starship? Content note: Includes discussion of pet death and euthanasia.
