Before the Teleportation Rotation feature was added wandering pets (such as the Turtles and the Toy Robot) were able to freely travel between teleporters. When this feature was added, pets lost that ability. This applies to all pets except Birb, who likely retains this ability from being a Physics object as well.
What I expected to happen
All pets to be able to freely travel between teleporters, allowing them to freely wander the condo (as long as the teleporter didn’t ask for permission).
What happened
When the pet collides with the teleporter, the particle effect will occur as will the noise, but the pet remains where it is.
