''There are several variations on this''
* '''Sapient Pets That [[The Masquerade|Masquerade]] as Normal Pets Around All Humans:''' These beings choose to hide that they are at least as smart a human. Sometimes this involves a disguise as a normal animal, other times the entire species plays dumb to stay hidden. The examples including [[Broken Masquerade
* '''Sapient Pets That [[The Masquerade|Masquerade]] as Normal Pets Around Some Humans:''' Unlike the above variant, these beings can behave like humans around some humans but not around others. Unlike the above variation, they are treated like either like people if only those who know are around or as pets by if humans who should not know they are sapient are around. They do not shapeshift to do this, they simply modify their behavior. Shapeshifters that turn from humanoids into pets and back in order to hide go under [[Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag]], not here.
* '''Openly Sapient Pets:''' These are intelligent beings that don't hide that they are intelligent. Some of these beings are treated like non-sapient animals despite their sapience, and others are treated as the sapient beings they are. They may be accepted by humans around them or humans may react in horror. Either way, these beings are not afraid to "be themselves".
