As discussed with @APompliano on his podcast, the likelihood that aliens have pets seems remarkably low offthechain.libsyn.com/austen-allred
@APompliano 1. Fermi's Paradox - aliens either don't exist, don't have tech to travel to/see us, or don't want to make contact with us. Third option seems unlikely, so if they exist they're likely too primitive to make contact.
@APompliano 2. The time from domestication of animals to space travel/discovery on earth, measured relative to epochs of time it took for earth/humanity to develop, is miniscule. Practically zero.
So basically
1. Aliens probably aren't advanced enough to make contact with us
2. If they're not advanced enough to make contact, they're probably not advanced enough to have pets
1. Aliens probably aren't advanced enough to make contact with us
