Do you spend much time indoors? or do you like being out and about?
If you like being out and about get a dog as it'll need walking etc... If you're an indoorsy person, get a cat, it'll go off and socialise with other cats and do it's own exercising,
If you go for a cat, I'd recommend getting a pure white one, beautiful things
Dogs are awesome That being said, they need attention and affection. Also if taking a day trip without pet, you'll have a time limit of how long/far you can go without someone letting them out to go to bathroom
But awesome side to them is endless affection, smart, can teach cool tricks, and loyalty is line no other
But if the kind ofnperson that likes to up and go out for an overnight, or even a weekend, and don't mind when they don't come running immediately when ya call them, cats are way to go once get them litter trained; can bnb put fown a bowl or two of food, big ting of water, clean litter box out and just head out.
All depends on how you live and if willing to adapt to be able to care properly, not neglect, the pet.
I would go for a dog just because you can bring it outside, and if you trained it correctly, it won't run away from you when you try to drink your coffee.
i advise you to think hard about getting a pet at all. Once you have a pet you have to look after them!! This means if you want to go on vacasion or anything you need to make sure they are safe while you are away. As great as a pet is its a huge responsibility
