I just want a cat.

Otherwise, I'd have a lizard from the amazon or something - I just don't think I'd be able to simulate it's environment well enough to have one.

A lot, but I guess the only one I've considered seriously is a fox. The only domestic variety is thousands of dollars, and I imagine it would make my homeowners insurance go up like crazy, so no go.

Hmm, can't think of anything that could provide more than my dog. The more I think about it the more unusual the question seems.

I knew some people who had one as a pet; pretty sure it was full wolf and not a wolf-dog mix. When I met it, it seemed pretty calm and I pet it on the head for about a minute without any fuss. A few minutes later, the owners told me it didn't like being petted. I kept my distance from the wolf at that point.

You should watch Dogs Decoded. One fascinating experiment was where wolf cubs were brought up as puppies, given the same loving care and attention.

They're not that hard to breed... just mate them with their brother or/and sister and you'll have good chance of a retarded set of cats. She's called Tard for a reason. And no I won't believe its after the tarter sauce.

And to the OP, at this moment, I want a groundhog. I don't know why. I see them daily around here and they're adorable big bag of fuzziness. They're just bigger than rabbits but without the ears.

Was gonna say Serval. Beautiful animal, I hope to have one someday.

That or a Savannah cat, which is easier to take care of.

Wow, I came in this thread to say Red Panda, and the OP already beat me. lol

I would get one if it wasn't for the fact that they are now endangered because of their cuteness. :\

And I also want a tiger.

Yeah, although they're both a handful. Most places are a little less strict with laws about owning a Savannah too. Third choice would be a Bengal :)

What if you got an owl box? An owl will come to live with you and you can point at it and say "that's my pet owl." And then if the feds come just say hey man I don't control him he just showed up in my owl box one day.

My cats would probably eat it anyway.

I've seen that video and love that hippo. She's pretty tame surprisingly. But reality is that they're very dangerous. Not even alligators or lions would dare attack a hippo at least alone.
