Personally, I go with both a dog and a cat since I have both a dog and a cat in real life, and Evil Mutated Rats are evil.

Yup i picked that one. Ill create many more.! GO my evil rat Infested Army!

well my evil mutaded guineapig is a good pet.. so i vote the evil mutaded rat since its almost the same thing

I own a cat, shes so cute. One night she feel asleep on my arm.

I put a dog, because a cat cant keep up with me while Im running.

Null. Fishes are the best. All they do is swim...and swim...and swim....and swim. A lot more interesting that the cat. And plus, they're colours-ish kinda swimming. Lot better than the dog.

Well, maybe the rat is an exception provided it can breathe underwater. If it can't, then kill it and feed it to the hounds. Note that they are hounds, not dogs. Hounds are good too. They're all kind of....houndish.

Well I like all pets...I have a cat that sleeps with me...She's basically my guardian. Any how. An evil mutated rat would be awesome. Too bad it's radioactive rats that live in my socks. I'll send a specimen to staredit.net so you can study it

Now, seriously, cats and dogs are okay. Except the fact that they're bretty high maintenance. Dogs, to have to play with, to go out on walks with, etc. which everyone might not have time. Cat are a bit less, but still, you have to keep them groomed, make sure they're comfortable, hide everything that can be scratched, etc. Mutated rats...I won't even go there. Even fishes are a bit trouble some, mostly to clean out tanks, though you could hire somebody to clean it for you. But then again, fishes don't do much either.

In addition, ALL (normal) pets require you to feed them, to keep them healthy, etc. So it boils down to whether or not you have time for the pet, and whether or not you like the pet. It also depends on your personality, because each animal is very different, and may be perfect for one person, but not for you.

Pfft, I'm done rambling.

cats are alright aslong as they keep away from my guineapig!

my dear dear tazzy, how can you make an army of mutated rats with only one mutated rat?

Cats. Cats are cool.
But ChaoS, I REALLY REALLY think you should have had an "Other"...

There are many methods. He could clone an army of rats out of one of them, though it will be really susceptible to sickness, and they will all kinda of be identical and have the same weaknesses. However, if he randomizes certain parts of the genes for each rat and clones them, and the gets them to breed again and again, a superior breed of evil mutated rats could emerge. Because of the varied gene pool, the mutated rats are not exactly identical, and the fittest of the rats would pass on their genes and make even more powerful evil mutated rats.

Hmm...maybe I can do that with fishes....

EDIT: Added the quote for clarification.

theres one problem spaceboy:
If you were to clone a rat to add genetic variability it would be impossible to change it's sex unless you are a very advanced genticist. That can't even be done today; only outside parts are changed, but guys who have had sex-changes can't have kids...

Also, if you were able to get genetic variability introduced, what if one of the variables in cannibalism or something?? Lots of interesting stuff can come out of that...

You know, I did add the part of "survival of the fittest". So if cannibalism makes them strong and powerful than if they aren't cannibals, then so be if. And varying the sex can be done, just like you can choose the sex of your child. Of course, you can't change it after you've made the animal. Or course, it also asks the question of how you're going to clone it in the first place.

I like cats because they're smarter than dogs etc, and they know it. They know they could rule the world if they wanted to, but they're content with just living.

how the hell do you choose the sex of your child?! it doesn't seem physically possible!

_{that's exactly what Jimmy was saying!}

You just have to control the X and Y chromosomes when the egg is being fertilized. I think. I really haven't looked into this subject a lot, so somebody else here might be able to answer it more properly.

how can you control genetic recombination? The only way I see that that could work is through test tube babies I guess...

It's nearly impossible; man doesn't have the knowledge to precissely identify THE chromosome that makes it a girl or a guy (Y or X); that's hella small and delicate to work with.

As for on-topic; cats all the way! I plan (and I will) to have a cat later; cuz they're always there when you need them, they're relaxing with their lil ron-ron and meows, they doesn't require much attention, etc... Dogs are... Too big... And active... Not my style.

Exactly. And aren't we doing that anyways with cloning mutated rats? So it should be quite easy to change the sex of the rat while it is being born. Hell, we could make a mutated hybrid of dog, cat, rat, and fish! A super uber pet! Which would eventually be sold to people who want to make huge armies using these pets and take over the world or something. Oh well, that is life. Well, most importantly, it is profit and business.

well, they can identify the x and y chromosome, they know one is bigger then the other, but they don't know what the difference is in the band sequences or something...

on topic: I used to have a kitty. we had to give her away. now I have a boxer dog named lily! ^_^

I have a Siberian Husky (looks like a wolf) and hes such an awesome dog.

We had a cat that wasn't house-trained. Now my mom is "allergic" to animals...

Hehehe.. my dog eats cats Naw I am allergic to cats though... in the same sense that I just dont like them either hehe

I like dogs more because they are generally friendlier, at least from my experiance.
