🐾 Which Pet Should You Actually Get?

Every pet owner has a story about the animal that picked them, and every pet owner also has a story about the one they should have skipped. This quiz looks at the things that actually matter when you bring a creature home: how much time you have, whether your walls can survive a midnight zoomies session, how you feel about being needed versus being left alone, and whether you can handle a little mess in exchange for a lot of affection.

Answer ten quick questions about your weekends, your roommates, your snack habits and your comfort level with cuddles or claws. Your result will point you toward one of six pets, each with its own personality, daily routine and quirks. Some results will make you laugh, some might sting a little, and at least one will make you go check the price of hay.
