New Pet? Help

[Kfamr]

Looks like the parents made the decision.

In this case, I don't think ANY animals should be brought into the home. Pets aren't just recycable, where you throw out an old one and get a new one.


Maybe you should wait until you're on your own and able to care for and make decisions for the animals yourself.

Maybe someone was allergic in the home. Maybe the cat started spraying and couldn't get it to stop. It's not necessarily because of neglect of anything that could be helped. Let's give these people a chance to explain!

I don't think anyone has jumped to conclusions here. In the thread where this person (or the parents) got rid of the cat, it was because he was "pooping and puking everywhere". I think every animal pretty much does that so I agree with Kay that the wisest thing to do would be wait before adding another pet. I'm not being mean, just being honest.

Sorry, I missed this post. My mistake. I just saw everyone asking what happened but no answers. Thanks for explaining!

If it was your parents that didn't want the cat any more, I would advise not getting a pet at all. If your parents decide they don't want the next furry friend you get, it could end up at the adoption center too!

But if you do get a pet, guinea pigs are really good. I have a short haired Teddy Bear guinea pig and he is really sweet. I clean his cage every few days. But they do need attention and my baby loves to be taken outside (you just have to watch them!).

Hamsters would also be good. They are nocturnal, so they are up at night mostly. I had a hamster a few years ago and they make good pets. Just don't pick them up when they are sleeping without letting them know first, like petting them a little bit first.

I dont aggree with rabbits being harder than dogs or cats...I have a holland lop and its FAR easier than my dogs. And i have had lots of cats also. I take care of Sassy by myself and I am not having any troubles. She was litter trained in 3 days! I reccomend a rabbit to you! If you have lots of room for it, you will be in luck. If you need more info on them, I have my own website you can visit by clicking Here. And I'm not trying to force you to buy one-- and you should just write a list of animals you would like to own and do a little research on them to find the best pet for you. I would get something that best fits your personality. Email me for more info on rabbits and if you are interested you can become a member at my site. My email is [email protected]. Don't hesitate to email me if you have questions.
Good luck,
