Well… The pets may be happy and much prefer it to being feral, but they are still sapient, talking, and capable of using tools – quite enough to make them “people” as far as I’m concerned – who are property. They may be beloved pet slaves, but they’re still within the meaning of the word.

Fortunately, it’s a comic. Character motivations are “serious” matters, but their world doesn’t have to be entirely consistent. Otherwise we’d have to ask questions about background elements – such as how all those domesticated breeds were developed.

Why not? He does show some symptoms of immaturity – notably, being so easily led and not checking out the groups he joins first (as per his first appearance).

Besides, “Kid” is relative. For most people it tends to translate as “obviously substantially younger than I am”. After all, my niece is in College, and I still think of her as a “Kid”.
