I can't believe there are people actively opposed to pets! Ah me...
On one mud I played, people simply roleplayed their pets. There was no object that represented it. On MUSH's. it's simple to make a puppet and turn it into your pet, and then if you learn just a little mushcode or can beg borrow or steal a friend who can, you can customize it to your heart's content.

Anyhow, not every character I have ever had has a pet. Most have not, in fact. But pets are far from cheesy in my view.
