I would really love to own a tortoise. I looked after one for a friend once and he was fab.i also think goats are super cool. However I don’t think I could live without a cat if I could only have one or the other so would go for 5 different cats. I also love owls but would not like to own one irl. They are better in the wild. In fantasy land I would love to own an owl that lived in my bedroom and was a postie like in Harry Potter!

Not liking the idea of getting rid of my cat each year though 😳

A couple of elephants (need more than one because they are sociable).
A herd of pygmy goats.
Some Scottish wildcats they are an endangered species. I think I might need a private estate so they are in a suitable environment.
A dolphin.
A parrot.

As a previous racoon owner you would be in for a trashed house . They are INCREDIBLY destructive. Mine lived in my house for 9 months with his own bedroom and he destroyed mattresses, keyboards, remotes, wooden flooring…. He was beautiful but like a horrific nail bomb trapped in a hurricane 😂. The second most destructive animal was a blue and gold macaw. Killed 2 tvs by “tasting” the bezel with his beak.
