Love the idea of coming home to a pet but think your busy life makes it impossible? Not all pets need round-the-clock attention or endless walks. Some just require a cozy corner and a hello now and then. Here’s a look at some pets that can fit seamlessly into your busy life
Cats
Cats are quite independant and can be perfect for busy pet owners. They don’t require constant attention and are happy to spend hours alone, lounging or playing by themselves. Investing in some basic supplies like a litter box, food, and a few toys can keep a cat content.
Rabbits
Rabbits can be litter-trained and are very clean animals. They require a diet of hay, fresh veggies, and a small amount of pellets. Rabbits do need a bit of space to roam, but a large cage and some time outside the cage in a rabbit-proofed room or a secure outdoor enclosure can suffice. They’re quiet, gentle animals, making them great for a low-maintenance indoor pet.
Tarantulas
For those not squeamish about arachnids, tarantulas are fascinating, low-maintenance pets. They need a simple terrarium setup with a heat source and occasional feeding of insects like crickets. Tarantulas don’t require social interaction, making them perfect for on-the-go individuals.
