Cats are gross. They'll walk all over the litter box, lick their ass, lick their paws, jump on your furniture/counters/etc, piss in the corner, and then scratch the hell out of your leg. Yeah, great pet!

Rats are pretty intelligent for rodents. One of my friends has one, and he says its a great pet.

Howzabout a TOAD!

That's Dennis. (As in, Hopper)

No smell, and he likes to watch me play World of Warcraft. :)

Rabbits are pretty cool. If you take care of them and train them right, you'll be able to let it hop around the house and stuff, and it'll come sit on your lap and whatnot. Just be prepared, because rabbits live for a LONG time.

i've heard the term before, but i don't know to what exactly it is referring. my himalayan is very limp and could be described as feeling like a rag doll when you pick her up, is that it?

And you think dogs don't lick their ass, lick their genitals, hump everything, kick their piss/poop, lick their paws, piss in the corner, jump on your furniture, scratch the hell ouf of your leg? If seen dogs do all of those. Among other things. Heck, some dogs even eat their own poop.

Why no dogs.


You should considure a fennec fox, very small and very cut. Average size is 1-2 lbs even smaller than a chihuaha. They are also very smart and easy to take care of.

Those are the best kind. You never need to take them outside.

UPDATE: Cats are out I'm allergic. Dogs are out as well. No reptiles or arachnids either they creep me out.

Maybe something like my Pacific rattler Fluffy?

Leaning towards Chinchilla or Hedgehog. Sugar Gliders sound like they don't get along well with other animals, kinda smell, and pee on stuff.

Duckbill platypus. They have poison claws dude. and their beaks pick up the electric vibrations of small crustaceans in the water.
