House pets are animals that are kept as companions in the home. The most common house pets are CATS, kittens, and domesticated animals such as dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. CATS are four-legged felines that are known for their independent nature and intelligence. Kittens are young CATS that are usually playful and curious. Domesticated animals are animals that have been bred over time to be kept as pets and are typically friendly and loyal.
