Degu and my cousins cats

What animals make the best/worst pets?

In 2003 our family got two degu, a type of South American rodent. They are certainly good for people who know rodent care very well, which we unfortunately didn’t. They had little ones unexpected in early 2004 and it was both joy and sorrow in the years we had them in our house.

My cousin at one point had 4 cats, two of them Bengals and she is a true cat person and animal welfare activist volunteer with Dyrebeskyttelsen to save animals suffering from difficulties and taking care of them, finding new homes. Her cats were/are wonderful pets for their household and very beautiful animals. I like cats and respect their true nature as animals but I’m also really very much a dog person. My mother has an elderly little dog that we love so much, unique and so much a part of our family.

Every animal needs and deserves good conditions for their particular needs and their true nature must be of deep value to the humans living with them in everyday life. Animals are living beings just like us.
