What makes me feel uncomfortable about it and wanting not to engage with it is seeing a HUMAN kissing a DOG or about to. I am fine with a two DOGS kissing or even two ANIMALS kissing because at least you know they might be in the same classification if you break it down. My probably is simply seeing that as an example. I'm fine with King in a dog body kissing Bailey who is another dog but I really don't want to see a dominate species trying to get with a lower species and defiling them.

You are projecting you Descartes-based education on a world where animals are *real* people, with all the feelings and smarts of regular humans. The fact that in the Housepets! universe man is the dominant species makes such position, in fact, WAY more amoral. In that universe, humans have enslaved an immense number of fully rational, sentient beings. That is the basic monstrosity of it all.
Giving pets emancipation, giving them rights as citizens (as in Japan), must include the right to entertain a human/nonhuman relationship, as both parties are fully capable of discerniment and consent.
I understand yours and D-rock's and other people's uneasiness, but you guys should try and reason in the terms of that world, not ours.
And, remember, God *does* exist in that universe. and Heaven does *not* frown upon mixing

And each step in their relationship, as great as it is to see their growth and adaptation to new experiences, has remained marred by this initial feeling, that never went away. In fact, it may have gotten a tad bit stronger.

I don't believe in following your dreams. I believe in following your purpose. Sometimes the things we want aren't the things we need.

Perhaps it's time to understand that the sides here aren't sides to a door that's ajar but to one that is shut. At some time it may open but not now. It needs to rest.
