I visited a pet shelter last Easter and I have this gnawing feeling that a pet would help me while I live alone after a nasty divorce. I am deliberating whether I would get a cat or a dog? I live in a small cramped condo unit in a hilly place. It's largely residential with not much children.

I would love a cat but I don't know how to toilet train it. Same with a dog. Which one is better to train?

And if you prefer dogs to cats, what would you recommend for me? I am thinking of adopting either this small ginger kitten or this gray-coated cat; and then there is this lovely little cocker spaniel pup and this fully grown lassie.
