Scoring:
up to 9 pts: get a beta fish or a hermit crab- that's about all you can handle

10 to 28 pts: you're most suited for a feline friend, a gerbil or a hamster, or perhaps rescuing a senior dog

29 to 42 pts:Youre best choice is a canine companion.. If you scored under 35 points, one dog and one cat may be better than two dogs

43 to 53 pts: A pet reflects your character, and you want people to know it. You're the perfect candidate to consider a snake,sugar glider or other exotic pet If you consider a dog your up for the challenge and can even handle a very active one

54 to 64 pts: A dog or two is easy. you have the skill and the sense of humor to deal with such a high maitenence pet, such as a large parrot or ferret

65 to 74 pts: You're in the pet big leagues, you'll be happiest with a combination of pets, just having one kitty or bunny simply wouldn't be enough fun.

Hope everyone had fun and found the right pet. I did. I'm getting a ferret.

Well, mine says I'm up for an exotic pet, but right now we have 3 cats and a hamster and 3 cats and that's enough for me. Althoug I used to have frogs and lizards and I liked that so maybe I'll get some of those again some day.

Ooops, I said 3 cats twice, but I really just mean 3, I don't mean 6!

I scored a 41. It seems we have the right pets. We have two dogs. I guess we shouldn't have the guinea pig though. :)
