Ferrets are great! I have had a couple and they are wonderful. They can be independant like cats (as well as litter-box trained) but can also be as playful and affectionate as dogs. They don't smell as much as some people would have you believe. When I can afford it, I will be getting two (so they can play together).

Actually the pot-bellied pig is one of the most sensible choices around here.

The allergy-thing shouldn't be a problem, and these lovable black creatures are readily trainable. They are pigs, so they eat almost anything with relish. They develop personal bonds quite well.

The only problem I can see is that you need to devote quite a bit of your garden to them as they would otherwise be levelling all your flowerbeds.

And if you ever get tired of it you can have a pig roast! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My cousins in England have one, and even though one of them is quite allergic, they have no problems whatsoever. Check 'em out...they're cool cats. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT -> And since you asked, I have 2 dogs (1 golden retriever, 1 quarter-wolf quarter rottweiler half-german shepherd,) 3 cats and about 10 fish. :D

thx for the awesome replies dudes!im interesting with true mooses'.where can i find informations about those cats?/FONT>

-------------------- [/QUOTE]All cats have dander- the proteins from their saliva can cause a problem. Make sure your brother has been tested and has the allergy medicine first so as not to add to the overpopulation of unwanted pets in the world
http://www.armbcr.org/smiley/siamesekitten.gifChoc would approve!

so how could u explain that true mooses cousins cat doesn't harm him/her?

Different people - different levels of allergies - different cats

My boyfriend is not allergic to dogs - Cats yes but not dogs. Yet one of my dogs makes him sneeze. Am I going to get rid of my dog? NO! Get rid of my boyfriend? NO! But Most people will get rid of the pet! Allergies are not an exact science - I am just saying pets aren't disposable if they become unwanted like your pacifiers and bottles. Not that you would be like that - but your mom might not want you to torture your brother.

Check out <a href="http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/cornish.html">this page.</a href> It turns out that the problems still exist, except they are very minimal. How allergic is your sibling? If it's really bad, you'll probably be stuck with a reptile, but if it's moderate, get a cat like that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT => That's the cornish rex. There is also such a thing as a Devon Rex. That's what my cousin has. Click here for more info.
