Tell that to my cat! He's an indoor cat but he spends every moment that we're in the house cuddling up to us and meowing for attention. He's lovely though, wouldn't change him for the world!

No they usually don't but mine are spiteful.

Oooo, that's

If you want a house cat you could get a Persian from a Persian rescue centre if you don't mind brushing its coat regularly.

How about a chameleon? They are really good at disguising themselves

I recommend a cat.

(says the person having to shove one cat off the laptop keyboard to type, knock another in the head with my elbow who's sleeping beside my pillow, ask one to kindly move over to the other foot, and recovering from the scratches of another climbing up me to get to the window sill behind me!! Oh, and yell at the last one to get out of the laundry pile...)

Another vote for cat here

They don't need to be walked yet will still play!

They're good company and don't take a lot of looking after as well.

Only 2-3 years. I've had a hamster off and on since 2001. 2 years isn't a long time but thats 2 years of insane cuteness. 2 years where every day you can see this tiny little thing yawn and nibble absolutely everything. 2 years isn't long but 730 is. I so desperatey want another but the last 2 pet store ones I got had got wet tail and died. So I don't trust pet stores. Breeder I got Rabbit from doesn't really do breeding any more either.

I would love a King Charles.

That is so damn cute! But if I ever move out of here I would be limited by where I could live and I can't leave one with my parents.

I had a hamster who lived til he was 3 and a half, and ive got one now whos 18 months old and still going strong.
The other one I currently have survived being nearly eaten by the dog, and then resucitated by me. Hence his new name - Lucky!
