1.

Cat

If you train your cat to go potty outside, it can make a great pet. But if you have a litter box inside, it can turn your home into a stink pot. If it weren't for the litter box smell, These guys would be alot higher on the list.

Puppy

Puppies eventually turn into dogs, so it's important to plan your puppy based on how big and aggressive it will be when it gets older, but dogs definitely make the best pets.

Snakes

There are lots of different snakes available, if considering one for your child, be sure to get one that is not dangerous, and be sure your child likes snakes. Snakes often require live feeding so you should also consider the cost of food.
