    A tree: it’ll outlive you, you don’t need to clean its poop, and depending on species you’ll even get something tasty out of it.

    A cat is fine too.

    Cats! They’re self sufficient, need little care but can give you lots of love. Also purring is adorable

    Beetles. Specifically desert ironclad, more specifically Blue Death Feigning beetles. They can’t fly at you or bite you, they are adorably derpy, and they can live for close to a decade in captivity. Also, they eat nearly anything you eat so they are really cheap to keep happy.

    Is the absence of a pet a valid answer?

    You don’t have any responsibility, no cleaning up, no expense from having to feed and not having to worry about pet sitting.

      Hot take: no, “no pet” is not a proper answer to “what pet is good”

    My dog takes me to walks, which is healthy and pleasant.
    Tho I think I still prefer my little humans, they’re way more trainable and fun to have around.

    For me, it’s a cat. They’re adorable, soft, can be affectionate while still being independent and not overly needy. I like many kinds of animals but wouldn’t keep any that are very high maintenance or have to be kept in cages/confined spaces for extended periods of time.

    A dog is everything you want in a pet, plus security system.

    I have a tortoise and he’s great. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them for everyone, but if you like reptiles they have a lot going for them. Calm, quiet, low maintenance, vegetarian (no crickets, mice etc.) and have a lot of personality. If you take care of them they can be a friend for life.

    I like to take mine into the yard in an enclosure and chill in a hammock nearby. He even likes to cuddle into the crook of my neck on the couch. Not exactly the most active pet, but his calming energy helps my anxiety. When he’s splooted, basking under a heat lamp I am almost envious.

    Ferret. Goofy, playful, affectionate, and adorable. (Okay, also a bit smelly)
