I was actually browsing what animals that I love where I can share here in mylot but I can't think of any. I keep on thinking of buying an a pet for myself since I live all alone. I used to have a rabbit but unfortuntely died. Sad to say i envy those people who knows how to take good care of their pets because I always have a lot of changable thoughts or changeable mind. I know there must be something wrong about me because they say when you know how to take good care of animals other way around you know how to take good care to other individual. Its half crazy when I know how much I love to have pets but yet I do not know how to take good care of a particular pet.

Lol if you have doubts then you are not ready to have a pet. If you have just cold feet then you might have to jump off the proverbial bridge. Try something easy like a fish or cat. Pets that are less needy then say a dog. If you still aren't sure maybe you could try fostering an animal to see if you even like to care for one right now. Or maybe fostering would be good because you can take a break from having a pet when you need it.

also have pets that just roam outside my house and sometimes they goes in and my mother dislike them so she discipline them with a whip. especially those young pets they need to be care just like a human baby. the mother is accompany and feeding them through heir nipples. the bad thins is she carry those younger offspring inside the house and bring it below my bed. my mother does not like a dirty room so she shoo the pets away. she hate to clean the urine, vomiting and some feces if the pet offspring start to move around. so mostly they are cats and dogs so i never buy them as they usually come in the house freely to get adopted by us. so when we move in a new house my mother does not like us to care for pet especially the female one. they have an active reproductive system and could produce offspring every months. some die and few survive. so the problem about feeding them and over populated so the best things f you like to care for a pet is to look for a male pet.

Having a pet when you live alone can be a really great comfort and wonderful company But, it's really important that you get the type of pet that is best suited for you. Some animals have a really long lifespan (like parrots for example... sometimes they outlive their owners!). You need to give a lot of consideration to the commitment that you are willing to make and also give a lot of thought to your lifestyle. Do you travel frequently or are you out of the house for extended periods of time? If yes, then you may have to make arrangements for someone to care for your pet and there can be a cost involved there. Do you want a pet that will require you to be physical (like walking a dog) or would you prefer a caged pet like a bird? Learning to take care of a pet is not hard because there are SO many resources available online and, in the case of dogs for example, there are obedience training classes and more that can help you (and your pet!) immensely.
The thing that would be of concern is that you say you have a "changeable mind." You don't want to make a commitment to bringing a pet into your life and then, once you've had it awhile, decide you're tired of it or don't want it any more I adopted my dog last May from a rescue organization and, still every day, I look at the photos of the dogs they have that need homes. Some of them have been family pets that people just decide they're tired of them or don't want them any more. It's hard on an animal to be ejected from the only place it knows as home. Just be sure that you are ready before you take on a pet... I wish you the best of luck in your decision and much happiness with whatever animal you bring into your life!

If you love animals and pets you will take the time to ask people about their experiences and do some research perhaps online or with the library books. There is a way to find out how to take care of them better if you are interested as much as you say you are, you will find a way to be a good mommy or daddy to the animals. But please, make sure you really want the pet, and don't change your mind when you have it, it is a lifetime thing to take care of a pet which alot of people don't realize. They love you for everything you do for them even if it doesn't seem like they do. They just can't talk or make their words known how much it means to them.
