What animals make the best/worst pets?

If you ask me which animal makes the best or worst pet…

Honestly—

👉 I am not a pet lover.

I am actually scared of animals.

Not just wild ones—

even domestic animals and birds.

I never grew up having pets around me.

Except for one.

🌊 My Only Pet

I had a fish.

A fighter fish.

I named her Sundari.

She was with me for almost 2–3 years.

And I still remember how sad I felt when I lost her.

So for me—

👉 fish will always be one of the best pets.

Quiet.

Calm.

Simple.

🌱 My Experience with Dogs

Even though I am scared of animals…

I have seen something beautiful.

My husband’s family has four dogs.

And on the very first day of my marriage…

When they introduced me to them—

I saw something unexpected.

They accepted me.

Like I was already a part of the family.

They didn’t scare me.

They didn’t react aggressively.

They just observed me.

Watched me.

And I could feel—

👉 they knew I was “one of them” now.

That feeling stayed with me.

Even once—

I travelled with one of them, Bella, a black pit-bull to the hospital.

I was scared.

Really scared.

But I trusted my husband and father-in-law.

And slowly…

I noticed something.

She was calm.

Quiet.

Looking outside.

And I felt okay.

So even though I am still scared—

👉 I believe dogs make one of the best pets.

Because of their loyalty and acceptance.

🌿 About Cats

Now, coming to cats…

I know this might not be a popular opinion.

And I am really sorry to cat lovers 💛

But from my experience—

I found it difficult.

We used to feed cats milk near our home.

But they would:

make the place messy disturb the surroundings

And I didn’t feel that connection.

Maybe it’s not the cat.

Maybe it’s me.

👉 Maybe I don’t know how to care for them properly.

So for me—

👉 cats feel like the hardest pet to handle.

💛 My Truth

I am not a pet person.

But from what I have experienced—

👉 Best pets (for me): fish and dogs

👉 Most difficult (for me): cats

And I think that’s okay.

Because choosing a pet is not about what is “best” in general.

👉 It’s about what you can connect with

👉 what you are comfortable with

👉 what you can care for
