I don’t even know how I bumped on this thread

Well I have to say I am a “no pet” person. Not because I don’t like pets or had no pets at some point.

I just don’t want additional responsibility and worries (i always worry if they are ok which I find stressful).

I also like flexibility of being able to pick up and go with short notice: travel, move or go somewhere for emergency. I’ve been in situations where I had to fly overseas in emergency like buy a ticket now and fly tonight. No arrangements needed. Can’t do with pets.

I guess I like to be “prepared” so to speak.
