Before you make that decision to bring home a pet, it might be a good idea to think about pet chemistry.
Animals have chemistry with people just like people have chemistry with each other.
That chemical sensitivity is an instant impression of like or dislike. It either enhances a friendship or keeps people apart. Dog and cats are like that. Cats have been known for running away from a home and adopting a home it likes better. A cynic might say an animal will like best the person who feeds or pays the most attention to them.
