I want a pet, but my new apartment does not allow any dogs or aquariums. I hate cats, and I would like a pet that is social and that I can actually pet. What do you suggest?

If you are looking for a small, social pet, your best bet are mammals. Some ideas include:

1. Rabbits. Rabbits are social creatures that can be litter-box trained. 

2. Ferrets. Ferrets are playful and also quite mischievous. They are also quiet and sleep most of the day.

3. Rats. Rats are friendly little creatures that often like to perch on your shoulder. 

4. Guinea pigs. Perhaps more than other small mammals, Guinea pigs crave spending time with you.
