Answer 1

Cat or a Hamster

Answer 2

It depends on how much space you have and your budget.

If you don't mind a pet walking all around your house, a cat would be great. They are very independent, yet will still enjoy the cuddling and playing around. All you need is to provide it food and clean up its litter. Of course, the occasional bath and grooming too. It would need to visit a vet at least once a year. And you will need to save up some reserve in case it needs vet treatment. And you need to be prepared for a 15-year commitment.

If your budget is low, and you only want it to stay in one corner of your house, then a gerbil or a hamster may be the better choice. Gerbils can be easily tamed. Hamsters are tame too, but probably not as responsive as gerbils. You can play with them, though they're not really cuddly creatures. You need to give food and water daily, and clean out the cages weekly. Wont cost you much for food either. No vet bills, unless really sick. They live for only 2-3 years.

All in all, any kind of pet is a COMMITMENT and huge RESPONSIBILITY. You still need to do the daily routine and be responsible for their lives. If you're the kind of person who hates to clean up after pets, or will get bored of them in a couple of months, then the only pet you should get is a "virtual" one... or none at all.

id say maybe a guinea pig or a rabbit, you can play with them get cuddles off the rabbit, while watching tv, not much cleaning to do as i clean my rabbits cage out once a week he is no problem, although make sure that if you do go for a rabbit then make sure that you rabbit proof your house, where the rabbit is going to be as they like to chew.
I have a house rabbit and at the mo i am toilet training it, this is my very first rabbit, i have had a guinea pig before and gerbils aswell.
The good thing about having a guinea pig or rabbit as a pet is that you can leave them alone in there cage when you are out, i work long shifts and so does my fiancee, i would love to have a dog but can't as we are not in enough to take care of a dogs needs.
But with a rabbit, we can meet its needs.
Well good luck and im sure you will make the right choice in picking what kind of pet you want, enjoy you're pet.

Answer 4

You are not ready to get a pet.
If you are only interested in a pet for what you can get out of it, then don't get one.
All pets need looking after, loving care, cleaning, veterinary care etc.
The reason for getting a pet should be that you want it to feel loved and cared for, and perhaps to rescue it from a bad situation. It should not be because you want something to play with. Your enjoyment should be secondary to the animal's.
When you are ready to take full responsibility for the life of another being, make sure you consider carefully, buy a book on the care of your chosen animal and read it from cover to cover before you get it.
And if you do choose to get a pet, try everything to find one from a rescue centre before you even consider a pet shop or a breeder. There are so many unwanted animals in this world, that we need to try and rehome the ones already in rescue centres before adding to the problem by putting cash in the pockets of pet shops and breeders whose main concern is profit, not the well-being of animals.

Answer 5

Cats are very low maintenance and don't need to go out, in fact they are healthier if kept indoors. Do have it neutered and vaccinated! They're quite happy in a flat as long as you brush them occasionally and keep the litter box clean, and feed them and play with them some. Most adult cats spend a lot of time sleeping or pretending to.

Answer 6

Hamsters are good. Really cute. You can tame them easily. Like to play. Have loads of gear you can get for them - cages with tubes and balls that they rattle about the floor in. We always had hamsters and i adored them. Cute little things! Its also great if you go away, just take the whole cage to neighbour and they dont have to do much, just put in food and check the water. They live about 18 months - top whack 3 years.

Answer 7

OMIGOD! You have to consider a rat! They are so cute and cuddly and very very smart! If you are going to get rats though, they are better if you get two because they are very social animals. If you plan to spend a lot of time with it, then one would be fine.

I have 4 rats (Oscar, Custard, Martha and Storm) and they are litter trained, very cute and are happy to sit on our shoulders while we go about our daily stuff. My favourite rat HoneyBear (who passed away a little while ago) used to sit on my shoulder when I went for a walk into town or took the kids to school.

Please remember that rats chew literally EVERYTHING. So if you let them run around the house if you don't want something chewed THEN MOVE IT! They do not care if it is your favourite pair of pants or shoes, or if it's the tv wires! Chewing is what rats do best.

Have fun and good luck deciding!

Answer 8

A cat critter. Start with a kitten, that should satisfy your impulse to play and interact, and as the critter matures, it becomes more independant and does not require too much maintenance.
If you really need a lazy pet, get a snake.

Answer 9

A cat is low maintenance and likes to play. There are many animals in the shelters all over the country that would appreciate a good loving home.

Have fun and Good Luck!!!

Answer 11

definitely a cat, you can play with cats and they're affectionate too. Best of all, they clean themselves, they come in and go out when they please (as long as you have a cat flap of course!) and they're really low maintenance. Don't get anything that lives in a cage, you'd have to clean it and that's just a pain. My cat doesn't even need a litter tray, she just goes and craps in someone elses garden! Perfect!
