seeyoujimmy   10 #1 Posted July 18, 2006 I really want a pet but me and my boyfriend are out of the house from 7am-6.30pm, i'd liek a dog but it really wouldn't be fair on the poor wee thing to be locked up on its own all day. There are a million cats round about constanley s***ing in my plant pots already so i don't want any more. I'd like a fluffy bunny but the cats round about would terrorise it, reptiles and spiders are out and i'm not really keen on hamsters etc or feathered things any one any suggestions on what i could get.  Whilst on the subject of animals, what's the best way to deter cats?

Banjo Griner   10 #2 Posted July 18, 2006 You can get anti-cat-and-dog-poop pellets from a pet shop - they work by smell of course and seem to do the trick.  I'd recommend you get a ferret, but judging by the amount of time you're not at home, maybe just a goldfish.

seeyoujimmy   10 #5 Posted July 18, 2006 I'm a sucker for pets at home, all the lickle fluffy bunnies and guinea pigs. When i lived at home mums best friend had two boxers that we doggy sta when she went on holiday and i loved them! I just think a pet would complete my new house and it's an alternative to children for the time being! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
melthebell   866 #6 Posted July 18, 2006 yes if you dont know what to get then deep down i dont think you want one for what you should want one for, ie loving that type of pet.  saying that i love rats friendly, intelligent, easy to look after, clean, not as vicious as hamsters, mice, ferrets etc (apart from our last one, that was a little bugger for biting) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But i know it's not fair to keep it locked in all day.....however, it may solve my cat problem! I also really want a rabbitt, i saw the cutest one ever at the weekend but the evil cats round about would terrorise it, if i stop the cats coming into my garden all teh time i can get a rabbitt!
