What animals make the best/worst pets?

What animals make the best or worst pets? As any pet owner would know, a pets behavior can either add to a happy home or create a stressful environment. I have experienced good pets and bad. I had a pitbull that chewed through a wall in my kids bedroom. She then chewed through a water line and when that wasn’t enough she bit into the electric running through the wall. I am not sure how she survived other than the breaker kicked freeing her from the grips of AC. Prime example of a very bad pet. But not all dogs are bad. Her brother who was also a pitbull was the exact opposite. They have since passed away.

Today I have an American Akita and he has been the best pet I could ever ask for. He is calm and gentle and a fierce protective of his flock. He is the perfect addition to our family.

The worst pets are cats, which I have owned a handful in my lifetime. All were mean, and would bite me. I am not a cat person and apparently they view me about the same. Cats, you can feed them and care for them like your own and they will still turn their nose up and hate you. You don’t have a cat as a pet. You are the cat’s pet.
