Cats are more my speed, but I really insist on a specific type of cat.  I won't have a pet that won't allow itself to be touched, let alone picked up.  I want a cat you can pick up and hold without getting scratched.  I want a cat that will jump in your lap and go to sleep when you're sitting on the sofa.  Otherwise, I'll just stick to fish.  Fish are the ultimate low-maintenance pet.  Just feed them once in a while, and clean the tank every so often.  When they die, you flush them.  Simple. >
  I like it.  I find fish have so much more personality than mammals.   You can really get to know them.  All mine are flushed at the moment, however.
