Pets have been found to be soothing and a companion for some people. If you are lonely or need to take care of something, by all means get a pet. They are great company too.

The best pet for me is a tortoise. They don’t require a lot of attention. They just eat and go back in their shell. Sometimes, they like to be played with, but not usually. The box tortoise is the best because you can get a big box and put the tortoise in and he is not going anywhere. You have to be careful with tortoises because they can run away. On the Internet, a while back, someone was watching something on television and these big tortoises were in the backyard. Then, they broke down the fence and got out of the yard and were never seen again. So they are escape artists.

Dogs make good pets, but they can be annoying if they bark too much or too loud. The dogs in my complex bark all the time and annoy me. So, that is why I don’t have a dog. They bark every time someone comes over. You could be taking a nap and the darn dog will be barking up a storm. For some people the dog is good, for others, not so good.

Cats make great pets just don’t get clawed by their long nails. Cats are very affectionate animals and like to sit in your lap. If you get a cat, make sure you have a cat scratching post or else the cat will shred your bed, couch, chairs, anything that looks fluffy to a cat is not safe. It is because the cats nails grow and they scratch things to trim the nails down. Cats are easy to potty train. You just put the food by the litter box and the cat knows where to go potty after the cat eats. Cats are great. They love to be petted, as long as you let the cat smell your hands first.

Fish are nice pets to have if you don’t want an affectionate animal. If you just want to watch the pet swim. They are cool, but make sure you change the water at least every two weeks because the waste starts to stink bad if you don’t.

Iguanas are nice pets. So are ferrets. Snakes can make cool pets, just keep them in a cage because you don’t want to accidentally sit on your snake. Or, you could be watching tv on the couch and all of a sudden, the snake can rise between the couch cushions and scare you.

Worst pets, in my opinion gerbils make a bad pet, but some people love them. The problem I have with gerbils, when they are hot or in heat. They will start stomping on the bottom of the aquarium, which if it is late at night. The thumping can keep you up and you get no sleep afterwards.

To make this simple, any wild animal would make a terrible pet. Some dogs make bad pets, especially if you have young children. I have read many stories of dogs killing children. So, I would advise if you have an aggressive dog. Please keep the dog away from children and small people. If the dog attacks anyone and kills them. It will possibly be euthanized. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.
