5 Pets You Should Think Twice About Before Buying for Your Kids

I have been debating for a while now what we will do when our cats die. Morbid, right? But the truth is, they are old and as much as I want them to stick around forever, I know that they won't. My kids have been asking for another pet though and our answer so far has been, "not right now", meaning not until the cats are gone. I don't want to bring in a new pet, taking attention away from them. Also, I am not sure if we will get more pets for a while. Nevertheless, I have been thinking about what kind of pet we would add to our household. I want one that is good for our kids and will fit in with our lifestyle. I started to look at the options and found some that will stay crossed off our list forever. - By Devan McGuinness
