I've basically figured that the only pet I could get that DIDN'T smell would be fish or a dog, the former I don't want and the latter I can't afford.
All of this hinges on where I move to in the next several months. Once I found a place to live, then I'd go pet shopping. I might even be able to get a cat, if my next job pays well enough for to allow for the care, and if my roommate was okay with cats.
The problem with smells is that in a shared apartment, I'd have to keep the animal in my own room, and that would mean fastidious cleaning. But I could get used to that, and it would be worth it to have a pet.
I thought about guinea pigs; I'd have to see. Cage size would be a factor with those. Some of them are nearly as big as small cats, and cats roam an entire apartment.
