Top Ten Cutest Pets

The Top Ten
1 Cat The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.
It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family. A cat can either be a house cat, a farm cat or a feral cat; the latter... read more

Cats. Are. The. Absolute. Best. They are actually very loyal and make amazing companions. They're extremely smart and much cuter than dogs, who can be slobbery and dirty. While I admit that dogs can occasionally be cute, they don't compare to cats or ferrets.

Cats are literally the best animals on the planet. They are cute, self-sufficient, and oh so cute (unlike dogs who slobber and poop on the carpet, even if they are somewhat cute). Cats should be gods.

My cat is the fluffiest and sweetest thing! She gives me kisses, comforts me when I'm sad, and snuggles with me. She is my best friend. Not surprised that cats beat out all other animals!

2 Dog The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated,... read more

Dogs are 100% cuter because they don't just ask for love. They give it back. They would be lost without you, whereas cats would happily live without you.

As cute as cats are, I had to vote for dogs based on the connection I have with them. These animals are loyal, which only makes them cuter.

Dogs should be number 1. There are ugly dogs just like all animals, but on average, they're the cutest.

3 Rabbit Rabbits, also known as bunnies or bunny rabbits, are small mammals in the family Leporidae (which also contains the hares) of the order Lagomorpha (which also contains the pikas). Oryctolagus cuniculus includes the European rabbit species and its descendants, the world's 305 breeds of domestic rabbit... read more

Rabbits are my favorite animal after cats! Rabbits are so cute. Once, when I was four, I saw a rabbit in the grass and thought I could keep it as a pet. My mom said no, and I screamed and cried all the way home!

I don't understand why rabbits can't make it to the first position. They are the cutest animals in the world, no matter what the breed.

I love my rabbit, and he is the best. But be careful. They need lots of hay, water, pellets, and a large pen (unless they are out at least 6 hours). Also, they poop a lot, and that's not cute.

4 Horse The horse is an odd-toed, hoofed mammal of the taxonomic family Equidae whose sole major subspecies (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticate, although wild subspecies have survived into the modern period. All subspecies, including the two extant ones, descend from the Pleistocene Equus ferus. The horse... read more

I love horses! I had one. He was amazing, even though I could not ride him.

5 Hamster Hamsters are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The subfamily contains about 25 species, classified in six or seven genera.

Hamsters are pretty much small versions of dogs. They have personalities and emotions, just like dogs and humans. Also, just look at their faces and cute hands!

This should be number one. Hamsters are so fun and cute. Dogs are also playful and good pets, but they are not really cute, although some dog breeds are.

Hamsters should be the cutest!

6 Fish

I'm very sad to share this, but three of my fish died. My three fish Rosie, Angel, and Angelica died. I'm so sad. Rest in peace, my fish.

Bettas' little grumpy faces are so cute!

7 Bird

I have birds now. They are precious! They are so playful and active, and I totally agree with the cute part. More than cute. But clipping their wings can cause stress, so we don't do that.

Chickens make great pets if raised with love and care!

8 Guinea Pig The guinea pig, also called the cavy or domestic guinea pig, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia.

Guinea pigs are the cutest creatures in the world! Second: fox. Third: hedgehog. Fourth: sugar glider. Fifth: axolotl.

They are a perfect size and are like mini dogs, except much cuter and smaller.

We just got two of them a few weeks ago, and they're adorable.

9 Squirrel Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents.
10 Lizard Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia; some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups... read more
The Contenders
11 Hedgehog A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, in the eulipotyphlan family Erinaceidae.

How can you not like these cute exotic pets? They should be much higher on the list!

12 Fox The fennec fox or fennec is a small nocturnal fox found in the Sahara of North Africa. Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which also serve to dissipate heat.

Fennec foxes are honestly and surprisingly adorable. Even if you can't have one as a pet, their vivacious and fun-loving personality makes them perfect for it! The way they stare at you is just adorable! Even if you don't have one as a pet, they are still incredibly cute. Some people actually do own foxes as pets. If you build a bond with them, they will care for you, though maybe not save you from snakes!

I was hoping this amazingly cute animal would be on this list. I was even telling my friends how I would move away from my area just to get this animal. Vote for the Fennec fox!

13 Ferret The ferret is the domesticated form of the European polecat, a mammal belonging to the same genus as the weasel, Mustela of the family Mustelidae.

How is a ferret below a chicken?! These guys are the cutest things on Earth!

I have a ferret, and he is the cutest thing ever!

Cutest and funniest animal ever.

14 Turtle Turtles are an order of reptiles known as Testudines, characterized by a shell developed mainly from their ribs. Modern turtles are divided into two major groups, the side-necked turtles and hidden neck turtles, which differ in the way the head retracts. There are 360 living and recently extinct species... read more
15 Chinchilla Chinchillas are two species of crepuscular rodents, slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels. They are native to the Andes mountains in South America and live in colonies called "herds" at high elevations up to 4,270 m.

They are so fluffy, so cute, and I think, in my opinion, that they are the best pet.

16 Snake Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey... read more

Snakes are so underrated! They should be in the top 5 at least!

17 Sugar Glider The sugar glider is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass.

I voted for sugar gliders because they are small and adorable.

I love keeping cute and tiny sugar gliders as pets.

18 Frog Frogs are a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura.
19 Gerbil A gerbil is a small mammal of the order Rodentia. Once known simply as "desert rats", the gerbil subfamily includes about 110 species of African, Indian, and Asian rodents, including sand rats and jirds, all of which are adapted to arid habitats.

I want some, but my mom won't let me get any. She said they're too much like rats.

20 Rat Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus.

Rats are amazing! I have two rats at home. They are so cute, smart, and affectionate! I love my rats and want everyone on the planet to have a pet rat. Then they will see how absolutely amazing they are!

Rats are simply amazing - adorable and friendly! If you want a lazy kind, get a boy. If you want more of a playful type, girl rats are right for you!

21 Axolotl The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, also known as the Mexican walking fish, is a neotenic salamander related to the tiger salamander. Although the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish, but an amphibian. The axolotl is only native to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco in Mexico... read more
22 Pig A pig is any of the animals in the genus Sus, within the Suidae family of even-toed ungulates. Pigs include the domestic pig and its ancestor, the common Eurasian wild boar, along with other species; related creatures outside the genus include the peccary, the babirusa, and the warthog.

Really, no pig on this list? Teacup pigs and other pigs are so cute!

23 Goat The goat or domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a domesticated species of goat-antelope typically kept as livestock. It was domesticated from the wild goat (C. aegagrus) of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the animal family Bovidae and the tribe Caprini, meaning it is closely related... read more
24 Deer Deer are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the fallow deer and the chital, and the Capreolinae, including the elk, reindeer, the Western roe deer, and the Eurasian elk.

I voted for deer because I like their cute antlers.

25 Tortoise

I have a pet Tortoise named Luna. She is absolutely the most sweetest pet I've' ever had. I love you Luna girl!
