Most usual pets don’t care for my existence at all.

That sucks, dude. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced that.

Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day:

But to ask “would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn’t know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho” is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.

“Would people really let some stray live with them?”

That’s literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.

You don’t need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

“I love all animals, as long as those useless fucks stay outta my way!”

Humidifiers.

It’s just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.

Trouble is, they’re all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.

And before I get the “you gotta clean it with vinegar every week” comment, two points:

1. You don’t soak your hands in soap and rinse them off and call them clean. You gotta scrub them.
2. Am I supposed to fill a 5 gallon bucket with vinegar to soak the whole water tank every week? Because the chimney goes right through that bitch.
