well i have two kittens but they’re a lot of work. also, they don’t like to be hugged. and they only let me pet them when they’re in the right mood. that mood is usually at 5am. i still love em anyways.

lmao @ pete’s response though.

Help me with: I am so tired of how partisan and close minded our country is becoming.

i love cat. i used to take care of some. btw cat hates almost everyone.
when i get a job and have money i’m going to adopt one.
but he said he doesn’t want a cat. that’s why i didn’t suggest it.

Depends on what your looking for. If you want a pet to keep you busy then get a dog. If you want one that doesn’t require alot of attention then get a cat. If you want something that doesn’t require any attention but feeding then get some fish.

i think you should really get a rabbit 1st there life span is 7-10 years and then there way easier to take care of than a dog and there lovable! i have experience if your thinking of getting a bunny get rid of cats cause household cats will eat the bunnies also get a brown bunny my opinion you can choose the pet you want!

the best would be either guinea pigs,bunny,a bird like a cockatiel or a budgie.i suggested a guinea pig because i have 2 currently brownie and bruno and well they are a bit difficult but they dont leave as much odor as a ferret .infact if you take good care they wont leave any odor i love mine but believe me its a good choice.
i suggested a bunny because i had 2 and a wonderful experience. i suggested a bird because my sister has 2 and theyre quiet fun eventhough they make quiet a bit of noise . buy whatever you feel is right your the best judge so best of luck

i would say a cat or fish. i have a cat well a kitten and she was a outside cat but when i got her home she used her litter box i didn’t need to train her and they never trained her. but some other cats we had peed and pooped all over so a cat is iffy. but fish are a really good idea if you don’t have allot of free time.
