It's up to your personality. If you want a high maintenance pet, choose a dog. They need a pack leader, have to be walked at least three times a day, you have to pick up their poo and they need to be regularly washed if you keep them indoors. And need grooming and vet visits.
Cats. if they're healthy. are usually not so people dependent, keep themselves clean but may require an indoor litter box which is disgusting to keep clean, and usually stinks up whereever its kept to a certain degree. My last cat, which was indoor outdoor, went under my house, so I didn't have a litter box. He was the best cat I ever had. Asked to be let in or out, came when you called him for food and affection, was a big, muscular sweet natured cat. Didn't shed a lot.
Those other pets, besides parrots, aren't very intelligent, though I did have an excellent guinea pig. I had a rabbit that died, but it used to follow me all over the house. They do leave pellets around. But the guinea pig only peed in his litter lined home. He was a charming little thing.
I grew up with dogs, but they were yard dogs. We never walked them and they did not live indoors. They were German Shepherds, and the idea of them taking up indoor space inside my home is overbearing. We washed them a few times a year, but their odor wasn't an issue since they were outdoors.
That's not how most people live with pets today. My cat, well my son's cat, slept on top of his covers at the foot of his bed. The cats I owned before our last cat slept on a cat mat, not on my bed when I was in it. I couldn't sleep with an animal purring near me. Would keep me awake.
But keeping a pet today means you likely will need pet health insurance, especially for a long-lived pet such as a parrot. Parrots are extremely high maintenance and need people interaction.
Remember if you want to do traveling without your pet, you need to board them or get a pet sitter. Another high miantenance, high cost responsibility.
I lived with dogs for 18 years, then cats for 25 years, final cat was for my son for 17 years. Easiest pet. He survived being left in NOLA for Hurricane Katrina because a neighbor who worked at the zoo fed him in our six month absence. when we fled the city. I had no means to take a pet with me and wasn't going to do it.
But you have to consider such scenarios and where you can stay if you re carrying a pet with you. Most apartments have pet fees also.
I don't live in an apartment, but being pet free if fine with me. I've done the pet thing and since my last cat who I had no litter box for, there's no cat that can improve on him. And I can't afford another pet. I can come and go as I please and have no vet bills. Consider all the angles.
It's not just about how sweet the pets are: It's about what you need to do financially and personally to keep them.
Good luck in weighing all the angles.
Mine has a d*g. One time he had me handcuffed to the bed d*ggystyle but he heard the door and it turned out to be his parents. So he was downstairs talking to them for what seemed like forever and had forgotten I was upstairs n*ked handcuffed to the bed. Anyway his r*ttweiler d*g came in a jump up on the bed and started sniffing and licking downstairs, I tried to choo him away but didn't want to draw attention because my boyfriend's parents were downstairs but this just excited him. Before I knew it he m*unted me and was thr*sting hard and fast, the sheer size was hard to take without screaming out loud but I just bared down and stayed quiet. He c*me inside me and started licking me again. I had my head down crying as I org*smed. Then he m*unted me again thr*sted and then stopped with him inside, he had kn*tted with me and stayed inside for what seemed like an eternity. Wave after wave of pleasure hit me and I c*me so hard as the knot was pulled out and a bucket of c*m oozed out. In the commotion the wooden bed post on our cheap double bed had broken and I was free. I managed to get the handcuffs off as I found the key on the bedside locker. I got dressed and went downstairs to meet his parents claiming I had been asleep. No one was aware what had happened.
Parrot. I know it's not what most people think of, but parrots are very smart and affectionate. Plus they live a very long time and can talk.
cats are easier to keep up with... lots of love too

A dog of cat are pretty basic and quickly become part of the family. They’re intuitively responsive to their “parents” needs and feelings even if they don’t know what’s wrong.
A love a horse, though. Sort of had one growing up and missed him terribly when we moved. I never let myself be attached to a pet once we moved bc it was too hard to switch off that sense of affection that makes you feel like you’re home.
I have this one at home for 4 years now :)
Love them :)
Depends on what you want from an animal and how much time you can devote to it.
Cats. I have also had pigeons and parrots as pets as well.
I like cats the most and that's why I have one. Dogs are fun too but you need the space and more time to take care
Cat. Zero maintenance on my part, zero fucks on his part.
If you and your home can pass his inspection, my cat, Allister, feels that a kitten is best.
