Hey, /an/.

I need an advice on what type of pet to get, but I have some restrictions.

I live in a narrow 3-story townhouse, so we have a lot of stairs. Personally, I'm a dog person, but I think a big dog would be too trapped, and a small dog would find the stairs torturous. I've thought about a cat, and may be leaning towards one, but I'm looking for other suggestions.

I don't want a cage-bound pet, because... they just aren't my thing. So I'd prefer something that would be able to have free roam of the house, and not fall victim to the current cat that my roommate already has. Preferably, it would be intelligent enough to at least answer to it's name, but that's probably asking too much. Hell, most cats don't even do that.

And cheap, of course, would be good.

So, any ideas for a semi-smart, semi-cheap non-caged pet that would be alright with a free-roaming cat and lots of stairs?

Do your research www.rabbit.org
see if a rabbit is right for you. Plenty of abandoned bunnies around, you can adopt one.

Persian cats? I remember that they are more suited for indoor temperament and are less costly than dogs. Also, if properly trained, you wont have to spend too much time cleaning up after them.

PS, this is just a suggestion, I live in a two story bungalow and my cats adopt me rather than the other way around.

A rabbit would be cool, this chick my sis knows has a bunch that are mostly housebroken.
You don't necessarily have to get a *BIG* dog (labrador) or a *little* dog (chihuahua), try to find a breed in the 30lb range, like maybe a beagle or a corgi. Little dogs can do stairs though. I have 3 Pomeranians, which are small (7-12 lbs) and very furry, and they never had any trouble running up and down.

I love Pomeranians. If you go past the stereotypes of small yappy dogs and toy breeds, they're great.

If you're worried about it being too small, then get a male. A neighbor of mine has a male, and it's twice the size of my female.

Eh, no Pomeranians.

1. Go to a shelter where they are responsive and are willing to help you find an animal that meets your criteria.

2. Don't feel pressured into doing anything, make sure you are absolutely certain that it's the right choice.

3. Adopt that stupid mutt.

4. ???

5. PROFIT!
