Like Umbran said, both Reptiles and Birds have alot of special needs that have to be filled and can cost oodles of money to meet those requirments. For parrots, you need to give them alot of attention and if you're working/going to school etc, it's probably best not to get one. Ferrets from what I've seen tend to be very energetic and highly curious, even more so than a cat. Basically, think of them as a two year old hyped up on caffeine and sugar in terms of energy and the capabilities of getting into trouble (to the power of 10). Your best bet for an apartment type pet is a cat, fish or a rodent of some kind (gerbil, hamster etc). If you go with a cat or rodent, it would be a good idea to get two (and get them fixed) because when you're not home, they can keep each other company. A lonely pet is a destructive and generally neurotic pet.Remember, if you do get a cat, they will shed and scratch things up. Declawing is an option, but only if they are going to be a strictly indoor type cat.</blockquote>
