ok me and my fiancee will be moving into our house within the next month and want a pet.

Just a few criteria;

Must be cheap and cheap to look after
Doesnt take hours to clean out every day
Doesnt take up MUCH room with its living space
Is leather settee friendly
Is not a fish or rodent

Thats about it really

Cat seems like your best bet.

A snake, or a parrot.

Infact any bird would be ideal for your needs (Just said parrot because they're ace, if a little expensive).

Small Dog?

Isnt exactly cheap to get & maintain.

A cat seems perfect, and they're the cutest

hmmm a small snake might fit the bill, might have a look into that one

How about some sort of lizard, no idea of cost though.

see i have always wanted a gecko, but think the start up costs might be a bit much

Worth a look into, look at 2nd hand tanks and lights.

Cats for the win! I never used to care for them but my ex had two, my friend has two, and i've started to make friend (lol) with a couple of cats down my road that sit on my wall and come to me for attention now and then. They're so damn cute and affectionateand I can feel myself really warming to them.

Would break my heart if I had one that was run-over though... seems such a common thing for outdoor cats nowadays.

If you are really against getting rodents then a cat.
But don't overlook rats. They're amazing pets and cheap to buy and feed.
