Let's say I want a pet.

You could try for a bunny. They're fuzzy, they can be held, they live long enough for you to make an emotional attachment to, and they can be litterbox trained. Getting two is better than one since, while a little more expensive, they can help keep each other company. Plus, they're adorable when they're happy:

Rabbits though whenever you get one you are kinda flipping a coin as to how it'll do. I've raised allot of Rabbits and some have gone from frolicking to dead practically overnight. While a current rabbit had the skin on his arm torn off and then was barely bothered by that arm rotting and falling off.

My first pet when I moved out of my mom's house was a white rat. She was AWSOME. They have a decent lifespan for small mammals, and they do get attached.

I gave her a burial at sea when she died on the trip moving to where I'm currently living. She was old and I think the heat of being in the car was just too much for her.
