There are many different pets a person can own, My personal favorite are cats because all my experiences with them have been positive.
Most pets live 10-20 years, some pets live for 50 or more years, I personally wouldn't want one of those because I would get bored of taking care of it after 15 years. If I counted all my family pets that I have taken care of there would be 20 cats, 4 are mine, 5 are my aunts, and 1 is my grandmas
