another kitty perhaps... besides you won´t be having to buy a whole new habitat for it..
a rabbit, gerbil, guinea pig, hamster would be nice.. but considering they are small mammals.. as well as a bird.. thye all would require diff living spaces food etc.. and constant supervision as all would be "prey" material..
a fish might be nice too.. but my bet is another kitty or puppy.. but kitty space-wise..

I'd vote for a guinea pig, as they can be happier in a confined space than a rabbit would, and both dogs and cats tend to see bunnies as prey. A guinea pig can be in its cage, and can come out for playtime in a ball to run, or fence off an area for them to run and play ... they are sturdier than a hamster, and easier to interact with than a gerbil. A parakeet's noises might prove irresistible for the cats, and one cannot underestimate the persistence of a curious feline.

add to that the mess.. parakeets are messy (feathers, seed, water.. all over the place)... one can handle that but a 9 yr old might consider it too much...Originally Posted by Karen
the guinea pig is probably the best as Karen said.. can do well confined and he gets interaction with it..

My vote is for a pair of guinea pigs too. If you're looking for something smaller I'd probably go for a lizard, maybe a leopard gecko.

Ooh actually leopard gecko is a good idea. I know a few belonging to kids.

seriously, doing my best
I'd say guinea pig as well
I have found guinea pigs to be much more affectionate than hamsters, and if you are careful with supervision they can actually interact quite well with dogs and cats [my one cat is VERY protective of Pepsi, and the dog/other cats tolerate him]. They do require a bit more care than some of the other small mammals, but I think it's worth it in the end. Plus, they're quite happy to chill in their cage or on your lap, and they're so darn cute!
One thing I would say though...guinea pigs are quite social so if you are considering a piggy, you might want to think about getting two.
in on the joke and i cant stop laughing
