I wouldn't have a cat where we currently live, so close to the National Park, due to concerns with vulnerable wildlife (turkeys, other birds, marsupials, lizards), but I'd otherwise not have been averse to always having a cat (Homer was...is a brilliantly affectionate fella. We left him with neighbours in Sydney, for the above "wildlife" reason).
I'd like a rat, or rats, but our terriers and rats would not be a very workable combination.  Alternatively, I'd love to know enough about reptiles and be licensed to be the wildlife rescue foster for injured locals.
My ideal pet-loving setup is some small property in the hinterland, three dogs (two Airedale Terriers and probably a Westie), a donkey, a cow, chickens, and a rescue reptile house.

I'm with your Loved One........seriously considering getting one here. Husband wants a large one....The cat should have a ball with that........
