There is no right or wrong answer for this one. What may be the best/worse animal for me may not necessarily be the best/worse animal for you. There are so many things to take into consideration before acquiring an animal. Do you really want this animal and it’s not something you’ll be tired of in a month. Do you have the time to devote to this animal, walking brushing, attention, training etc, depending on what kind you get? Will you be home enough so they don’t have separation anxiety and chew, scratch or go on your floor? Pets like kids come with unexpected expenses, that puppy or kitten may be so adorable to look at but eventually they’ll need vet care for an emergency, sickness or just plain routine maintenance. Will you be able to afford the upkeep of it? It’s not far to the animal if you get it and can’t afford it and then dump it back at a shelter. Since Covid the cost of pet foods and litter and their supplies have gone up every few months. It’s not cheap being a pet parent. If you can afford it and have the time for a pet(s) it’ll be a lifelong friendship and devotion so take all these into consideration before getting your new pet. I’ve had cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs as pets. Currently I have 2 cats and feed 3 strays outside. I have no dogs or rabbits but do have guinea pigs.

This is a well-reasoned post. We just adopted a second cat – and our first is NOT a happy camper. But he’s also a confirmed coward so eventually I hope they will reach a truce. She’s a very determined little Manx rescue.

Thank you! She sounds adorable. So glad you rescued her. We had a manx once. I do believe they’ll eventually take to each other. Mine is a shy little one who was 9m years old when I brought in a 4-month-old kitten because our other cat had passed away. She wasn’t happy to have a kitten’s nonsense, but she became acclimated to him, and they even chase each other around and play now. He’s brought a spring to her step. Give it a bit of time they’ll be snuggling before you know it. Congratulations on your new family member.

I hope so, right now it’s hissing and spitting.
