I would love to have a pet but when I travel, I am usually away for weeks at a time and I would ot put any pet in to any sort of care. Animals become as attached to their owners as the owners do to them and to put them in to a strange environment for a length of time would, in my opinion, be cruel.
I would like to have a cat like this that is a Bengal. Trouble is that they cost someting like £800/$1,000 so, if I were able to have a cat, I would choose one from an animal rescue centre or if I could, pick one up from the local park like the two in the second photo that I saw a few months ago. Trouble is that they were totally wild and would be difficult to domesticate..

We have Ivy and we got her from a rescue center. We absolutely adore her and are so happy that she is in our lives, she is like no Cat I have ever had before.
