People confused about their spot on the spectrum:
((When I was 11, I wrote a terrible short fanfic from the POV of a vampire dog which Lestat had turned as an experiment. I don’t remember anything about it except that the dog was pretty happy as a vampire dog… it’s lost to time and space forever. Just thought that might amuse you!))
IDK about vampire animals in other media, I’m sure someone has done it, but IIRC, they’re not in VC canon at all. I don’t know if AR has considered it, with all the implications that follow. Could the world survive packs of vampire dogs and cats? Herds of vampire horses?
Vampire
Lions?
Vampire
Tigers?
Vampire
Bears? Oh my…. Could a vampire chimpanzee (or rat!) turn a human into a vampire? Would it matter if the animal was a herbivore or would it have to be an omnivore, like humans are? If the vampire lab in PL is still running, maybe they’re experimenting on animals. #FIC REQUEST.
In some religions, animals are considered not to have souls at all, or that they lack the same type of soul that humans have. in VC, the soul seems to be a crucial element in anchoring the vampiric spirit to its host body during Dark Gift transfer.
Also, just physiologically, not all infectious diseases are transmittable between animals and humans. For example, humans cannot get Feline AIDS and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) from cats [animalplanet.com].
Zoonotic diseases: diseases transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air (like influenza) or through bites and saliva (like rabies).
I headcanon that vampirism is not a reverse zoonotic disease.

Recycling this from a previous answer; It’s funny you mention vampire animals bc the question was raised, when old age finally started to rear its ugly head for Mojo…
Lestat: What if we could heal him with-
Louis: NO Lestat. No.
Lestat: Just an experiment to-
Louis: We’re not making a vampire dog that’s a crime against nature we have to draw the line somewhere.
Lestat: *pouts*
Louis: *glares*
Lestat: *pouts harder*
Louis: *glares harder*
Lestat: Ok confession time: I already tried to give him a few drops of blood and he was not at all interested. Repulsed really.
Louis: *ragged sigh*
Lestat: It was worth a try!
Louis: Then why were you even asking me?
Lestat: I thought he might prefer yours–
Louis: *slaps Lestat hard across the face and storms out*
I remember hearing about (but not reading) Bunnicula, “a children’s book series written by James Howe, featuring a vampire rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables,” but I know that’s not quiiiiite what you were looking for, lol.
^Lookit the widdle fangs! Bunnicula even has the classic “widow’s peak” hairline in their fur like Dracula *u* and a “cape” in the fur?? I think it’s been adapted to an animated series, too.
Other quotes I found about animal-human disease transmission:
Also relevant is zombie animals. In The Walking Dead, there are no zombie animals, and I found a forum where ppl were discussing it (walkingdeadforums.com), whether it’s true that the original comic artist set the canon for that bc he “does not enjoy drawing animals so much,” or whether there might be a scientific reason for it…. Zombie animals are as equally debatable as vampire animals!
♛A polyamorous relationship? *sits up, grins, rubs his hands together* Anon, if and when you successfully manage it, you tell me how to do it! I’ve been trying for years to get Louis to accept David and David to accept Louis for this very arrangement; does it not make perfect sense that if they love me separately, they should be able to love me together, at the same time, in the same bed, or wherever we are?! Why the hell not! Alas.
I do have some experience with threesomes – and moresomes – but only really outside the context of a relationship, and that is typically with people who don’t expect the ongoing relationship aspect. These purely physical interludes can be extremely satisfying, the extra set of hands, the extra lips… etc. Such indulgence. Like an upgrade from your bathtub to a jacuzzi with jets (Not that I don’t also love my bathtub as it is *flicks a fang*).
I won’t tell you it’s not worth trying, but I would advise you to tread carefully, especially if you’ve all called it platonic already. As in a two-person friendship that you might want to escalate into a romantic relationship, there’s the risk of losing them if the feeling isn’t mutual. How do you know when to do it in that situation? Well… every relationship, between friends or lovers, is defined by the people in it, you mutually set the expectations and limits together.
When do you decide that you want to be closer to someone? What are the signals they give that they want that, too? Not every relationship requires physical intimacy, that’s something you mutually decide, too.
My love life is flashing before my eyes and I can’t pick out answers to those questions *frowns* Unfairly, the best I can tell you is what’s been true for me, that you’ll know when you know, when you can’t keep your hands to yourself because you need their skin on yours, you want to feel their heartbeat with your own and you have a burning need to ask them, “Can I hold your hand?” … And you are 99% sure that they’ll say, “Yes.”
♛Ne vous inquiétez pas, mes bonbons, vous me possédez.
No, I’m not planning on going anywhere without a big flowery announcement, trust me! I’ve been in this fandom for 20+ years and on tumblr since July 2013, I’m stuck here for the long haul, it seems.
(If I ever mysteriously disappear, I’ll give my online whereabouts to @annabellioncourt and @merciful-death to share with you all.)
♠(Louis) *Sighs deeply*
♛Who might that be?
Is it the Dread Pirate Roberts? He is very special and very hard to find.
I can’t read your thoughts through the screen, ma petite…
[X by @fetch-me-a-block]
If you mean yours truly, well… I hate to deny very good girls the very best gifts, but I am also an impulsive bastard who hates scheduling things, being expected at a certain time.
…This is why I need to go on tour again, so I can “visit” with a stadium full of people who love me, and point at them from just off-stage and glare at Louis, “See how much they love me? They’re chanting my name! They’re starving for me! Why can’t you be more like THEM?”
♛I usually like start off my holiday gatherings in a large group social setting, with our mortal social circles mingled with the coven, dancing and live music, then gradually move locations and shed people as the evening wears on, making smaller and smaller circles of interaction, from the impersonal to the more personal, coven-only at some point… I dream of having a heated blood fountain at one of these and Marius keeps shooting me down! He has such a limited idea of fun.
All this until, if I play my cards right and behave myself well, it ends up with just Louis and I alone together in a secluded little spot, or back home, tangled together somewhere with enough time before dawn for a little celebration of our own, if he lets me if we feel like it.
♛Merci, ma petite!
It’s all out of my hands, we’ll see what my ghostwriter does with it all. I’m hoping to snuggle up on the couch with my boyfriend, too, to watch our story play out on the small screen (it’s a large flat screen, but you know, figuratively, the small screen).
I’ll be satisfied as long as someone devilishly handsome is cast in my role, and that someone endearingly dignified, fastidious, and filthy is cast for Louis. And that they kiss! Often!
… Louis refuses to dress as Mrs. Claus, we’ll just see about that.
♠(Louis) Lestat loves being on the Naughty list, it seems that he invents new ways to top that list every year… *sigh*
Why he also wants to play Santa, I assume it feeds his retail addiction, or he thinks it will earn him a place on the Nice list at the last second… At any rate, he cast himself in the role, and he might just fight you if he thinks you’re trying to usurp him, give his red velvet three-piece suit to someone else, even if that someone is me *rolls eyes*
I’m not a Santa, I don’t send gifts. I wouldn’t know what foods to send, we stock up on candy for the neighborhood trick-or-treaters every year… I have to ask a neighbor what her children like in order to know what to buy. What foods do people send these days? Drink elements like liquor, coffee, and tea, those I can understand. Baked goods would be cold on arrival. I’ve seen fruit bouquets. Isn’t food best when served freshly prepared? I wouldn’t know.
As for books, there are libraries, and Lestat is always urging me to borrow books rather than own them, we have so many books as it is, and the more precious ones take special storage and care, so I can’t wholly disagree with him.
Interview me? What’s left to be said that hasn’t been put down on paper already? You can ask me questions here, I will consider answering.
