but would never keep one inside the house. It's a FIELD ANIMAL in my opinion, and it should serve a purpose, usually with cattle or protection of property. I hate cats but I have one in the hallway that I feed from time to time, they prove really useful with PEST CONTROL, as they're pretty ruthless against larger insects and mice and rats. I also really like parrots and other birds but would only keep them on the balcony. The only pets I believe should be kept in a home are fish and reptiles.
