Not Your Average Pet

What’s wrong with a dog or a cat, people? It seems like more and more folks are choosing unusual pets over the classics. Take actor Nicolas Cage, for example—he famously bought a pet octopus a few years back. While that set him back a jaw-dropping $150,000, an octopus still seems pretty tame compared to some other exotic choices out there. For instance, one woman decided to keep a pet leech, of all things

Let’s be honest, shouldn’t your pet survive without feeding off you? This woman tried to make her leech look cute by adding a pink bow, but let’s face it—nothing can change the fact that it’s a literal bloodsucker. It’s enough to give anyone the creeps. Why go for something so bizarre when there are plenty of low-maintenance, lovable pets like dogs and cats? Sometimes, sticking with the classics is the way to go.
