I can't take care of myself, how would I care of an animal?

But I have babysit... Sitted? Babysat? Babyshat? A kitten, and dang he grew on me. So I kinda want one, but... It's just not for me.

As for dogs, family had two dogs and while Iiked them, neither liked me back as much as everyone says dogs do. I've been lied to. And I'm not one for walking. So if anything, more of a cat person then.

I feel this. I've gone through so many plants and I treat myself terribly. I know having a pet would probably help me mentally but I just don't have the confidence to take care of another living thing.

See my other comment, I highly recommend hognoses!

I recommend trying a snake out, specifically a hognose, they're extremely cute, and EXTREMELY easy to care for
