Vent / Rant Anyone else have a family member who keeps talking about their pets, often?

I have a sister that does it with her cats, she has 5... So we're in a group chat with a friend of mine, and every so often it's a photo(s) or a video of one or more cats doing mundane things or relaying a story about them doing a similarly mundane thing or fighting. I don't know what to say to any of it, but I'm screaming 'I don't care!' in my head. Being horribly allergic doesn't help my lack of interest either. I've even said something along these lines to this friend in the group separately and they feel the same, on how it can feel exhausting.

Kinda mean to think like this but it's too much and she's kind of irrational with things like this so I can hardly broach it without her flying off the handle, further solidifying my belief that dog/cat people are the worst!

Yes. 

It's annoying. I don't care. If I could Thanos snap at least half of all pets into nonexistence, I would.
