Do you have a pet? Do you have preferences?
I don't fall in the cat or dog person category. I don't think I'm right for snakes or insects or lizards, mammals or birds are more my thing. Had many cats but no dogs (compensated that with volunteering in dog kennels), many rodents and now I have 2 ferrets and a cat (the ferret count is going to go back to 3 soon though, as it's their minimal perfect number). Had a cockatiel (is it a bird or a dog?) too, which was an amazing experience. My choice of pet is ruled by my lifestyle and the time I can devote to the creature.
How abou you?
