Pick me a pet
Thinking of getting a pet, not a dog or cat as I live in an apartment. Which pet should I get?
A fish tank looks pretty good but I don't think it's really what I'm after. I want a more hands on kind of pet.. but not one that [censored] everywhere. Was looking at turtles but they can't be handled very much either.. look quite cool though and shouldnt live for more than a few years. Rodents, Birds, Spiders & snakes are a no no. Anyone have an ideas? |

Already have a girlfriend, so the pet won't need to be sexed.
Was thinking of a ferret, I hear they are fun to put down your trousers... |
Re: Pick me a pet
ferrets are cool just make sure you get him decented. unless you enjoy the smell of hot urine.

Re: Pick me a pet
Cockatiel (or other parrots) are a good choice also

From Day 1 they use the litter box, which you just tuck in a corner somewhere and clean regularly, so no crapping everywhere. They are very hands-on and playful. I recommend getting two, because nothing is better than watching them have races and wrestling matches. Especially when they jump on top of the Tv and have American Gladiator style duels. |

Re: Pick me a pet

Plus you keep them in a cage and just let them out when you want. They usually [censored] after they eat so you can keep them in the cage until after they do their business. |

Re: Pick me a pet
I agree with Noah. Cats are the ideal apartment pet.
I used to hate cats, or thought I did, before I met my then girlfriend (now my wife). Since then I have grown to love them. Are they as good as dogs? No, but they're much, much lower maintenance, they are very affectionate if you train them correctly and give them love and attention, they aren't needy the way dogs are, and they are extremely clean. Kittens are a handful but they're pretty damn cute. Our cats are orange tabbies. I would recommend this type. Even if your apartment is small, a self cleaning litter box will work nicely and it won't smell. This goes without saying but please don't buy a cat (or dog) when there are tons of homeless ones you can adopt. I'd advise going to a shelter and making your choice there. You say you don't want dogs or cats. Dogs I can understand, given the apartment and the urban environment, but you should give cats another look. They're great pets if you're a good owner to them. |

The best part about cats is finding out which one's the pitcher and which one's the catcher. (Two males.) |

Re: Pick me a pet
That's funny. Little differences, but the dynamic is there...

It took him about ten minutes and he almost fell like ten times. He someone was able to stand on the very edge of the shelf and then bend his body and just kind of leap for the next shelf up. (We had just made tuna sandwiches and we had the two cans tied in the plastic bag on top of the bookcase. If we put them in the trash the cats try attacking it, so I put them up there until I could bring trash out, thinking it was safe.) |

Re: Pick me a pet
OP,
Yeah, I don't get you dismissing cats out of hand either. I mean, if you don't like them fine, the world - and this forum - is full of cat haters, but there's no question they would be fine in the environment you live in, and way more affectionate than a fish or a bird. Plus you'll prolly get two, which will lead to some cute pics: http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...2/kitty3-1.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...2/kitty5-1.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...2k2/kitty6.jpg |
