1.

Consider your motives to keep a pet since it will be your company for 10 to 15 years.
　

2.

Keeping a pet requires sufficient time, money, endless patience, and love.
　

3.

The costs for keeping a pet are much higher than those for pet registration. Food, shelter, toys, related equipment, and medical care for pets are very expensive.
　

4.

How much time is needed for taking care of a pet? Providing your pet with only food is not enough; they also need exercise, playing, bathing, hair-combing and company.
　

5.

A pet needs a fixed, safe, and appropriate space.
　

6.

Read books on pet keeping for related knowledge in advance. The hair of your pet may be left everywhere. Even with toys or a scratch pad, your pet may still scratch or bite the furniture.
　

7.

Nobody in your family is allergic to animals.
　

8.

Try to win approval from your family, and realize that there will be a change in life.
　

9.

Beware if there are children in your family, for they often do something improper unexpectedly, such as pulling, dragging, dropping, or lifting the pet.
　

10.

Your neighbors living in the same apartment house do not disagree.
