I've been thinking about pet ownership. Or... Maybe not ownership. I don't want to get a pet then port out and leave it behind. But fostering a pet. Taking care of a living thing, and having some sort of companion nearby. It seems nice.

The problem is, there's loads of kinds of animals that need homes. I'm having trouble deciding between dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, mice...

Does anyone have any advice for a first-time pet owner? Or... pet fosterer?

I hadn't thought about that. Do dogs get so much more emotionally attached than, say, cats or birds?

I couldn't say. In fact, I'm not studied in this world's fauna enough to know if their emotional intelligence is as refined as what I knew where I'm from.
Perhaps a fish? I would assume fish are universally stupid.
