We had a pet rat who lived just past his 3 years expected lifetime. He was such a joy, loved to sit on my shoulder, unafraid of our cat and seemed to enjoy the Lego village I built for him to explore.
My family has almost always had at least one cat or dog, and, even though I'm allergic to him, our daughter's cat lives with my son's dog at my house. They're entertaining, to say the least.
Several of the retirement and assisted living facilities around our area bring in small animals from the shelters or private homes to spend time with the residents. They bring some joy into the lives of otherwise confined people, as just petting an animal is soothing to our psyche.
Animals are amazingly adept at "controlling" human behavior, LOL!
