Read her article and find out the answer.
Cats：the perfect pet
I think that cats are the perfect pets.
Firstly, cats are clean. Their tongues and paws are great cleaning tools. They spend a lot of time cleaning themselves every day. In addition, cats use a litter box to relieve themselves and cover their own waste.
Secondly, cats are quiet. They are much quieter than dogs. If you keep a pet cat, it is unlikely that your neighbours will complain that it makes a loud noise.
Thirdly, cats are easy to look after. They are happy staying indoors, eating，sleeping, and playing with small toys. Cat owners do not need to walk their cats.
For these reasons, I believe that a cat is the perfect pet for anyone.
Because cats are clean, quiet and easy to look after.

Goldfish：the perfect pet
In my opinion, goldfish are the perfect pets.
Firstly，they’re easy to take care of. You don’t need a huge tank. Just a normal-sized one will do. Unlike dogs that need to be walked and looked after a lot, goldfish only need their water changed sometimes and some food.
Secondly, they’re really quiet. There’s no barking or any loud noise. They swim around nicely in the tank and make your home peaceful. You don’t have to worry about them bothering the neighbours.
Finally, goldfish are so beautiful. They come in all kinds of colours and swim in a really graceful way. Watching them swim can make you feel relaxed and happy.
For these reasons, I think goldfish are the perfect pets for people who want an easy and peaceful pet-keeping experience.

Hamsters: the perfect pet
In my opinion, hamster are the perfect pets.
Firstly, they’re easy to take care of. You don’t need a big living space. Just a small cage with a running wheel and a bedding area will do. Unlike cats that need regular grooming and outdoor time, hamsters only need fresh food, water and a cage cleaning once a week.
Secondly, they’re super quiet. There’s no meowing, barking or any loud noise. They scurry around their cage, nibble on snacks and run on the wheel softly, which won’t disturb your study or rest. You don’t have to worry about them making noise for the neighbours.
Final, hamsters are incredible cute. They have fluffy fur in different colour, from golden brown to pure white, and their tiny paws and round cheeks make everyone smile. Watching them stuff food into their cheek pouches and play with toys can cheers you up when you feel tired or bored.
For these reasons, I think hamsters are the perfect pets for people who want a small, lovely and low-maintenance pet-keeping experience.

When we talk about "the perfect pet", the first question that comes to mind is: Is there really a one-size-fits-all perfect pet for everyone The answer is clearly no. The word "perfect" here is not an absolute standard, but a match between the pet’s characteristics and the owner’s lifestyle, needs and personality.
