A pet skunk would be cool, if you destinkified it, which you can. Or a pet fox would be fun too. Both are fairly similar to cats. It'd be pretty interesting to have a family of foxes just hanging out in your house.
Unless it attracts a skunk of the opposite gender, which on the bright side, will chase out any pests or living organism in your house. Including you sadly. =]
Hmmm, I wonder if perhaps this would be a problem for rugs of furniture. Seems skunks would be a bit more trouble than I thought.
Hedgehogs are better, people in Britain make a hole in their fences to attract them. Cause one can de-insect your whole garden. Plus they love water, sugary foods (which is why so many used to get stuck in Mcflurry cups), and tend to get obese easily. But their cute, providing you don;t accidentally step on one.
