I literally cannot have pets. It is either I am allergic or I feel frightened by them. Don't get me wrong, I do like animals, but the thing is, it wouldn't be fair for them or me if one suffers. I find cats and dogs cute and cuddly. Sad thing, I am allergic with cats and I have a phobia of getting too close with dogs. I hate being barked at. Maybe it is because when I was young a dog barked, chased me and attempted to bite me. Good thing I was a pretty fast runner back then and all I got was a tini-tiny wound, to which I got multiple anti-rabies shots for. I got a cat once but at the end of the day I get sick and cannot breath well. I want to have a pet but I really can't.
