To both of you...I've been trying to convince my boyfriend for ages that a cat would do just fine being alone while we were at work. After all, most cats are pretty indifferent to people anyway! But I think I will start looking into the rabbit possibility. I would just love to come home to a fluffy animal...

I had one and it's something between a cat and a dog in the behaviour! Really funny when they get all upset! She loved to steal my socks and hide them....slept 20h a day, but the 4 hours she was awake.....mini-tornado! It's not for nothing I calld her Dynamite!

Get two cats - that way they'll always have each other for company and won't be lonely home alone. I know lots of cats live quite happily never leaving the house.

I live on the third floor of an apartment and have a balcony. My cat has no interest in the balcony or what is outside my front door. She seems to be mentally and emotionally balanced, so leaving her alone in the apartment for the day or a long weekend hasn't been a problem.
Get a cat! :)

OK, I've never owned one, but the pet store that my family used to go to had a huge lop-eared rabbit that was the single greatest, cutest thing I've ever seen. He was kind of like a dog in that he would come up to all of the customers to be petted and would slowly hop around checking stuff out. He liked sitting on people's laps, too. If he was tired, he'd go hang out in his cage, which they left open during business hours. He was trained to use a kitty litter box.
I've wanted one of these guys ever since meeting this one.
