Are you ready to own a pet?

Hello steemians,

Does anyone has a pet? I do. There are 9 cats in our home. All of them are active,naughty and loves korean drama. Like this little fella.

Pets are wonderful companion to human. They gives emotional support and a great stress reliever.
But before adopting or buying a pet,there are a few things that you should consider.

COMMITMENT.
Be prepared for long term commitment. Most pets has lifespan of 15-20 years and pet owners should be able to prepare basic necessities such as shelter,food,water, health care and other essential things.

MONEY
Can you afford to pay for your pet's food, and medical bills? Pet foods are not cheap and you have to be able to provide food on regular basis. A visit to the vet and groomer also cost a lot.

TIME
Do you have time for your pets? Dogs for example, needs to be trained and nurtured properly. Pets also need time to bond with their owner. People who has long working hours or always travelling might not be suitable to be a pet owner.
Leaving a pet alone at home may cause them to be depressed or develop behavioural problems.

ENVIRONMENT
Makesure your house is suitable for your pets. There are a few apartments that don't allow pets.Know your residence guidelines beforehand.

ALLERGIES.
Make sure non of your family members are allergic to pets. If you are unsure if your children are allergic,try to spend time at friends house that has a pet.

Ask yourself why you want a pet. Thousands of pets are homeless simply because their owner are unable to care for them. Just make sure you are the right owner.😊

P/s: Remember once you have a pet,there's no such thing as personal space. 😂
