Can you believe that most of the states in this country have the power to tell you there are specific animals that you are not allowed to own as pets? First, let's go over the list of the most common pets, according to catalog.com. They are:

  1. CATS
  2. DOGS
  3. FISH
  4. BIRDS
  5. GUINEA PIGS & GERBILS
  6. HAMSTERS
  7. RABBITS
  8. TURTLES
  9. FERRETS
  10. REPTILES

Personally, I'm a dog guy for the obvious reasons because they're friendly and furry, they love you unconditionally and you can go outside and romp around and take them for walks. But, on the other hand, turtles, hamsters, and fish don't enjoy walks, and as much as you think they love you, they really don't because you're holding them hostage.
