I have a cat. I used to have a dog, but that was a long time ago. She was a dog I rescued from the Humane Society in Pittsburgh 20 years ago. I was happy to have saved her, but that has got to be one of the saddest places to visit because you know what the fate of those poor dogs will be if no one adopts them. You feel like you wish you could take all of them home, but you can't. I cried so hard just walking through the rows. How I picked my dog was that I wanted one that was similar to another dog I couldn't take with me when I moved. My ex-boyfriend kept her, so it wasn't like I had to give her away to strangers. I missed her terribly and felt a little lonely because I had moved to another state and didn't know very many people yet. When I walked past all the cages, I swear this dog was looking at me as if to say "You know you want to take me home!" Anyway, I now have a cat. I've also had rabbits, which make very interesting pets. One thing to keep in mind about them is if you keep them as indoor pets, they will chew wood and electrical wires. You can litterbox train a rabbit as you can with a cat. Also, the males should be neutered.
