Answer 13

A kitten: they're cute, and don't take much to look after as they have a mind of their own.

A puppy/dog: Great family dog, but get a bigger breed, as the smaller dogs bark heaps. A lab or a retriever, maybe a newfoundland, or a collie.

Collies are quite smart, and easy to train.

Newfies are friendly, and love water.

Labs/retrievers: have shorter fur, so will be easier to brush and clean, also easy to train and a great family pet.

Rabbits: Mini lops, or dwarf lops, as they're heaps easier to take care of than the bigger animals, or breeds of rabbits. Except they need their hutches cleaned every 1 -7 days. And a bath quite often.

Also lops are cute, even as they get older.

Birds: Not so great, unless you get hens.

Hens: You can get them to lay yummy fresh eggs, they're so cute when they're younger, and also don't mind being picked up too often, or patted.

Hamsters/Guinea Pigs: I suggest not getting these, as they're rodents. :)

Snakes: I don't have them where I live, so Idk.

Answer 14

Kittens are usually extremely lovable. They may claw you, but it's only because they are playing, or they don't know better. I would recommend this animal because loads of females from age 2 up to age 99 love cats. They help you if you're lonely, sad, or just want a playmate.

Answer 15

For a family pet type thing, I'd go with a cat. They can be easier to take care of then puppies, especially in house training and cleaning.

If you mean a cage pet, go with a guinea pig. They require a bigger cage then hamsters, but they won't get huge like rabbits. And hamsters can be rather nippy little things, guinea pigs rarely bite. Oh and they make the cutest sounds.:P
