I say any animal is good, but if you want a pet that you want to cuttle up with get one w/ fur not scalles

Yeah, I'm not the kind of person to cuddle up with a snake.

I voted Virtual pet. As much as I love Dogs + Puppies I voted this because...

You can have any animal you want,

You can have a pet even if you have an allergy,

They don't have to eat, drink, have vet bills.

But My second choice would be dogs, they are loyal trustworthy animals that make great friends for life.

Rats

The choice isn't up there, but if it was, I'd vote for it ;]. I've had rats before and they were such a joy to have. It's fun to play with them, even though you do have to handle them gently ;]. They're very clean creatures (atleast, the ones I had were XD).

Second choice would be cats/kittens or dogs/puppies. Pretty much 'cause I have both a dog and a cat. Cat's are really easy to care for, even though they do act superior to you XD. Dogs are loyal and you can play with them and all that jazz .

We all think that rats, gerbils and the likes are well, easier to care 'cause we can put them in a cage and not worrying 'bout them putting the house upside-down, don't we? From my past experience, gerbils tend to get sick easily (From food-poisoning to cold weather) and they don't do much damage until one of them ran into the sewer and you the would have to spend all day taking it apart and looking for your gerbil, I had to do that once, kinda funny in retrospect lol. Nevertheless, they're cute and cuddly pets to have. Also, it's hard to believe but pigs are said to like to be clean .

I can't vote on this poll,you didn't put down rabbit/bunny.

they all would!!!!

Yeah, my rats did get sick. They both developed tumors, but they lived their usual length of life ;]

My old neighbours used to have a pig. I'm not sure if they do anymore, but his name was...Morton, I think XD. He was really cute when he was small, but then he grew really big and it looked as though he could break through our fence O.o XD. He was quite clean, though, and well behaved as well.

You're really lucky, my gerbil died no long ago of pneumonia, I didn't even know that he was sick too busy studying for the exam, but at least he's been with me for 2 and a half year and that's good enough, right?

And I've never seen or heard of anyone here in Japan that kept pigs as pets before (Except farmers and agricultural factories of course), but is it hard to keep one? I mean like do you have to build a pen and stuffs? Or just let them stay with us like domestic animals? I went to cousin's farm before and pigs were kept in a big pen and oh god...they always made loud piggy noises and the piglets were too fast and heavy even for me to get hold, I tripped into a mud puddle later then


Uh huh, they are fun to play with, yes, but of course they can't beat the real things because they use AI and everyone knows that AIs only do what they were programmed to do so there will be a restriction in some areas, I imagine that when all house pets (Not pests) are extinct because of global warming and excessive use of plastic bags, we'll probably have virtual pets as friends and live in glass houses ...me and my imagination lulz

I live with three dogs. Does that answer anything?! xD

Gurgle! ^_^ Cute name. Like the Royal Gramma from Finding Nemo.

Anyways, I have to agree--fish are wonderful! But as you say, even goldfish are not all that easy to keep. Still, they can *really* be worth it in my opinion. I've had mainly tropical freshwater fish since I was very young, all named (and some goldfish too.) Many of them have lasted for quite a long time. My current pleco is several years old now.
And fish really do have individual personalities! You get to know them and they will come greet you when you walk over (or, if they're the unfriendly or shy type, run away!) But yeah...I'm a huge fish fan. I bought a new gourami yesterday and at the aquarium store, I enjoyed watching them all so very much. *sigh* Some day I hope to graduate to the saltwater level. But I won't be at that point for quite a while. Unless I befriended someone who had experience with it.
