If you are a person who has empathy then yes animals are great for you psychologically.
If you are a dumb ass who refuses to try to understand how a pet operates than don't.

T. 3 cats, 20 chickens and long ago a dogger...

Already a net lose once the pet has been in your house for more than a week, No amount of coping will make the smell of cats and dogs less gross.

depends on if they're well behaved, which is impossible to know until you're already in too deep

You can do study on breeds. Some cat breeds are lazy and clean Neet appropriate, others will be to energetic for a house bound life and frustrate you.
Have at least some good lawn space for a cat/dog.

I hate seeing house bound depressed animals, That statement also goes for humans.

Quit having hypersensitivity, autist.

For the companionship, I'd say so. Stay away from the meme/social media breeds though. I have a Corgi and that little fucker costs more than raising a child.

Cool that sounds ideal for me then. I’m gonna look into adopting after I’ve done enough research

cats groom themselves though and don't smell like dogs do.

If avoid a wilder breed as a first as they are way more energetic and wilderness based.
We have a ragdoll breed which is a pretty cool cat and it's 16 yrs old still going well.

My first cat is half maine coon. Hes a good boy. The rest are tabby mixes, one bengal and one saimese.

The younger males we have are fucking assholes though. Females way better overall imo

Don’t go to a breeder at all unless it’s a coon. They’re almost all mutts with no real pedigrees and they’re expensive. So many great cats to adopt from a shelter. Also I’d recommend adult cats if you’re looking. Kittens can be quite a handful and if you don’t know how to properly train them they can turn into real assholes. Adult cats are much more chill and loving. Many of them know how hard the world can be so they’re very appreciative of the home you provide them
