Which Pet Is Better For Me? A Dog, Cat, Or Guinea Pig?

Question

Here's how my life works. I'm 14 years old, going into high school. My parents are super busy, and is never home, and I have 2 younger siblings in elementary school. I'm a straight A student, who have acting classes, and the tennis team. I want a some what smart pet, who is nice, friendly, and cuddly. Which pet should I get? Thanks! =]

Answer 1

I am a dog person; however, you sound like a kitten would work great for your lifestyle. They are way more independent. You can get them the good litter that clumps. The cat will train itself to use it. Dogs require a great deal of time, effort, and patience. You need to let it go out to potty several times a day...sounds like that would be hard for your family. Cats take care of themselves. Just give them love, vaccinations, food, and water. It is sooooo much easier.

Answer 2

All those animals typically live longer than 4 years. What will you do with the pet when you go off to college then? Or get busy with other interests in high school?

Answer 3

im a dog person and i think that a yorkie or a guinea pig would suit u

Answer 4

a kitty.    a dog needs atention allll the time and sounds like your sorta busy.   you need to take them on walks everyday and stuff.        idk but guinea pigs arent my favorite and i dont think theyre very cuddly.       rescue a cat from the shelter .   go look at petfinder.com.      search your area, and you should find a perfect little kitty.     :]

Answer 5

definately not a dog....too much work to potty train and walk ect ect ect. you need to focus your time in other areas. cats are low maintence and so are gpigs. cats are more affectionate.

Answer 6

between a dog cat and guinea pig

CAT

not between those you should get a rat or a ferret maybe a bunny?

Answer 7

You do sound busy, so not a dog, a cat or guinea pig. Cats often love to be picked up(with the right personalities) but guinea pigs almost never like to be picked up, so if you want cuddles, you should probably get a cat*-*

Answer 8

Not the dog.. you are two busy!  I'd say the cat.  and i am not cat fanatic. I have 3 dogs. LOL

Answer 9

No matter what pet you get, if your parents are really that busy, who would take the animal to the vet if something happens to it?

Answer 10

Probably a guinea Pig (even though Rabbits are way cuter) although they all need attention.

A dog (NO) they need excersice and company

A cat needs to be feed abit but could be alright

Answer 11

i personally dont belive in keeping guinea pigs and rodents as pets becoz they r not actually domestic and it would be taking away their freedom-My opinion

a dog needs a lot of effort to maintain

i'd suggest u get a cat but ur cuddles r not guaranteed then! some of my cats hate cuddles!!

a cat would be the best bet.

Answer 12

well all three animals need and desire a pretty good bit of attention but i would go for the guinea pig because you only have to clean there cage like once a week. my second choice would be a cat but not a kitten ...... to much attention needed hoped i helped :)

Answer 13

a kitten! cats are way less dirty then dogs and guinea pigs and have great personalities

Answer 14

fish
