Welcome to a most peculiar tea-time tale—where thunder rumbles beyond the cottage walls, the gramophone sighs out melancholic tunes, and the ever-watchful Pig (my orange and white cat, amateur engineer, possible sorceress) hatches something suspicious in a glowing cardboard box.This special episode of Tea & Gravity invites you into the parlour as we ponder a question no responsible adult has ever asked out loud: Which dinosaurs would have made the best pets… and what are their modern-day equivalents?With a teacup in one hand and a cautionary biscuit in the other, Professor Teabottom walks you through a whimsical list of prehistoric companions who might’ve curled beside your slippers, guarded your garden, or chirped at your kettle when the water boiled.From the dramatic Microraptor (the iridescent goth of the Cretaceous) to the cheerfully stubby Psittacosaurus (the corgi of the Mesozoic), we explore five ancient creatures whose charm, quirks, and unlikely companionship might just make you rethink your definition of “pet.”And yes, Pig has opinions.And no, we still don’t know what’s in the box.🦖 What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

– Why Microraptor might’ve been your ideal flying roommate (with four wings and diva energy).

– The Psittacosaurus, also known as the “Cretaceous Corgi,” and why it would have loved your herb garden.

– The Arctic charm of Leaellynasaura, a feathered bedwarmer for those long, sleepless nights.

– How the Protoceratops might guard your garden gnomes with silent, passive-aggressive dignity.

– Why the much-maligned Oviraptor wasn’t a thief—but a feathered, tea-tin rearranging, emotionally complex house spirit.

– And finally, the big reveal: Which modern animals carry the spirit of these lost companions into our present-day homes?Perfect For:

– Listeners seeking cozy, imaginative bedtime stories– Dinosaur lovers with a fondness for domestic chaos– Fans of speculative science, vintage tea rituals, and emotionally manipulative pets– Anyone who suspects their parrot is judging them– Humans who believe in the power of prehistoric friendship🫖 Make a cup of something comforting, dim the lights, and settle in. You’re about to meet the dinosaurs that never roared… but might’ve curled into your lap instead.And remember: if you enjoy these sleepy stories, please subscribe, and let us know in the comments when and where you’re listening from.
