I have to say even in English you sound like you are unhinged if you say you are the mommy or daddy of a pet. The concept here that is trying to be expressed is that you are the loving owner of the pet - loving like a parent is of a child. I am sure that this concept exists in Slovenian even if expressed using different words.
