I would have a Cat. But...The only problem is, my dad always takes care of only me and my two sisters 24/7 of the time, since my mom can't do much capacity as my dad can. I mean she can only do whatever she can do to take care of us though so she sometimes do help around the house, despite her being in her room almost all the time. Of course, pets are expensive too and yet, we're...Middle class poor I think. So I can't really get a Cat unless.
