Childhood pets can run the gamut from cats, dogs, hamsters, goldfish, turtles, etc., to pigs and ferrets. If Mom and Dad don’t want to deal with an animal, they can get pretty creative, suggesting hermit crabs and ant farms.
My first pet was a cat, which I named Felix, after the cartoon. We lived near a heavily trafficked corner and, sadly, Felix was hit by a car.

My next cat, Boots (named after the story Puss n Boots), had to be given away because it gave me ringworm.
