First, How much time do you have to take care of a pet?
- If you have about 2 hours or more, then you will have about enough time to take care of a dog. You have to walk it, take it outside to do its business, feed it, take it for haircuts in the summer, play with it, and more things.
- If you don't have that much time, but at least 20 minutes a day, then you can get a cat. You feed it, scoop out its business (the cat box), and depending on what kind of cat, give it attention.
- You need to care for a dog a lot more than cats.
Second, How much patience do you have?
- You need patience for both dogs and cats, and if you don't, your pet wont last long.
Third, Will you be nice to the pet?
- You need to be a nice person to either pet.

When you get mad at it, just remember, it doesn't know better than to do whatever it did.
Now hopefully you will know what pet to get.
