What animals make the best/worst pets?

As I’ve mentioned in other post my cousin is an animal rights/animal welfare activist who loves animals in general and especially cats. At one point for several years she had four cats in the household and two of them were Bengals, they are very beautiful animals and her children like them as well. They are funny ones, right now they have a single cat. It’s a Bengal and my cousin got her first Bengal cat in 2009 I believe it was. I love animals and sometimes I join my cousin visiting the local cat home/place.

I grew up having dogs in home and my mothers dog is so lovely and eccentric even, she sometimes walks outside on her hind legs with her front legs stretch out, so I call her ‘zombie dog’ because of the way it can seem like it with some strange type imagination. I cannot imagine how life would be without her, she is elderly and our family are lucky to have this wonderful dog as friend for over a decade together.

One sad important aspect of keeping any pet in family/household is how to feel grief of losing a pet friend, a family member either due to hard choices, sudden illness or similar type of unexpected death. So be prepared to experience the sorrow as well as great joy and love.

Thanks for reading ❤

What animals make the best/worst pets?

Note: more thoughts on what I wrote about in previous post regarding this type of pet

We actually did quite well despite our lack of experience taking care of this kind of animal. They are also very cute and funny animals in my memory of them, I think they are good pets.

Here is a picture I found (not mine)

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.
