Either one would do! LOL.Two or four legged?
I have to agree. I can't see ever having a non-cat pet. But if it HAD to be a different kind of animal, I'd go with the cattiest possible kind of dog.
This looks like the one!
(Like the look of a canine, but all about that feline personality? There's a dog for that)
I'd get a yellow lab. They're affectionate and would be gentle with my kitty.

A medium size dog like a mix. My sister had this dog Lulu she was short hair black with white areas. She was the gentlest dog and I would like to have one if they were cat friendly. This dog wasn't hyper.
Didn't require alot of walking just knew how to keep itself entertained without wrecking the house...wish I had a photograph to show what I am talking about.....But other than that just cats.

Easy question; a Blue Whale, of course.

I mean, I've always thought giant pandas were cute...
Or a betta fish. I loved my Loki that I had back in college and I know how to take care of them.

Yes! Some cute little pygmy goats are just what I need to keep the weeds down around here.Goats
Those are lovely dogs! My sister had a Vizsla/beagle cross called Story. Picture below.
Ambitious! I like that.
Yeah, OK then. If your landlord doesn't mind.
I used to have one of those, but he swam away. Fickle beasts those blue whales are.
NO! Pandas are basically slow moving grizzly bears in evening dress. Don't be fooled by their cuteness, they'll take your arm off.

- Kept her in a public ocean then, didn't you? There's your mistake, then. Given your initial premise, "If time, space, money and landlord restrictions were no object and you could get another pet, but not another cat, what kind of pet would you get..." it seems simple enough to keep a Blue Whale.First, buy Europe and Asia, dispense with all those bothersome countries, and dig a new landlocked ocean:
There then - and Bob's your uncle.

A Boxer would be my first choice, an Airedale my second, but actually just a friendly medium-sized dog would be very welcome.

Beautiful picture of a gorgeous Story !
I like in particular the golden rust colour of Vizslas and they are often referred as 'velcro dogs' because of their need to cuddle with their human(s).
How about one of each?
We have charities like that in the UK, and it's where I'd go if I were getting a greyhound again. I'd love to be a foster mum for them too, but there's no way that would work right now
I HATE the racing industry too (both canine and equine)
Pix never raced (at least, he had no ear tattoo) - he was found wandering the streets of London. I got him from Battersea Dog's Home (a huge London shelter). Poor little guy was around 9 months, we think, and had clearly been beaten/abused in his former life
This might be slightly off topic but it's a great story.The closest thing we had to a "wild pet" was Mrs. Squirrel (Mrs. S). I called her Mama S. but I'll go into that more in a minute. This squirrel used to have her nest in a tree across the street from our backyard. My late DH was a true animal lover in every sense of the word. He kept jars of Planters lower sodium roasted peanuts out in the screen room behind the house where he used to sit in the evenings (they HAD to be the ones with less salt). He always fed the squirrels. This one got attached to him and used to get his attention by hanging on the screen. If that didn't work, she'd sit on the railing by the door and bang on the door. As soon as he got up, she'd jump down into the grass and wait for the feast. Finally, he started leaving the door open a bit and she would come in and sit by his feet. She took the peanuts from his hand, eat what she wanted and then go back and forth burying the rest. After a while, she moved her nest to the tree in our backyard. She had a litter of babies soon after. They quickly learned that he was a friend and went to him for food also. I fed them too but they always preferred him.
Why was she called Mrs. S? When I called her Mama S, he'd correct me. I finally asked him why he called her that. He looked at me as though I just grew a second head and said, "She has babies". I responded with, "So because she has babies, she must be married?" He sighed and said, "Yes". Um OK. I asked him where "Mr. S" was and who was it that performed the ceremony? Was it Reverend Blue Jay? He didn't appreciate that at all. I really miss that man. He was one in a million.

A pony or horse would be cool, but impractical in the city.
More practical, maybe a budgie or parrot. We had budgies years and years ago, and it was neat to learn that birds, like cats, each have their own personalities and quirks. Only problem, being tropical, they like warm temps, and now that I pay my own heat, my house wouldn't be warm enough for them in the winter time.

That would work, too.How about one of each?
