The quest for the perfect pet
For a long time, this thought has been lingering in the back of my head – I want a pet! Finally after all the talk, the wheels are going to be set in motion. That is, as soon as I figure out which pet I actually want. I’ve always considered myself a dog person, but I don’t think I have the time to be a dog person. Nor do I want to be the person gong outside in bad weather to walk my dog and pick up some things that need to be picked up. (Babe, this is a job tailor made for you – since I decided that I don’t want it.)
I’ve never had a cat, but I could be a cat person. That needs to be explored a little further. My main concern with a cat, I only like them when they are cute – also known as kittens. After that, they lose me. Of course, I can’t say that for sure having never owned a cat. A cat would suit the lifestyle better, that’s for sure. No outside activities in the bitter cold or rain. And most importantly, Babe, you wouldn’t be left out because you would still be tailored for a certain job that I just don’t want.
Outside of the whole dog and cat world is not somewhere I want to explore. When animals start looking like rats or just swim around a bowl, I lose interest. I’ve also been known to send a couple of fish to fish heaven. One of them tried to commit suicide by jumping out of the temporary home while the fish tank was getting cleaned. I can’t go through that heartbreak again – luckily my reflexes were spot on that day and the fish lived for another week. (I feel the need to defend myself a little. I did everything by the book – beta fish just don’t last)
A cat it probably is! It can take care of itself for the most part and be home all day. It’ll be cute for a few months, by then it shouldn’t matter what it looks like, I should love it to pieces. (Yikes, I hope this is not applicable to children. I can’t imagine it would be good to only find your children cute when they are babies.) Now, to find the perfect cat…. Are the Royale kittens taken?
