It's actually stranger to treat a fully-grown humanoid bipedal person like a pet. I can think of two situations where someone treats another sentient person like a pet&mdash;when they ultimately don't respect that person as an equal, or when they're being kinky. Mikey does neither with Leatherhead.

Raph cherished Slash most because his most cherished possession was a photo of him.

My friends and I pegged Mikey as bisexual, and Raph as gay, especially considering Raph's indifference to women.

And "homosexual" is not considered a very respectful word anymore, and is often quite offensive. It's too clinical and distancing at best, and has been made more derogatory because mainstream society largely no longer uses it while anti-gay people continue to do so. Please use the words "gay" (specifically) or "LGBT" (broadly), and not "homosexual."

And please maintain a respectful tone. And I can hear your condescending tone half a world away.
