and what drives their actions.

 

A pet is not a piece of furniture.  It is a living creature who has its needs and needs your attention. Even if you are very busy, you can always find a few minutes throughout the day which will give it a little attention and affection such as caress, playing games or even a snack.


Make sure your house is full of accessories that will fulfill its needs. Nail scratching is it's basic need. You'd better supply it with nail scratching facility or else trim its nails.
 

Pure breeds are sometimes costly. Being a valuable pet they are likely to be stolen. Moreover, pure breed suffer more diseases than non-purebred. In general don't expect a huge budgetary burden. As they are relatively small creatures they don't need much food.
