I have a problem. I have already asked our friend Mary for advice, and she said you may be able to help me.
I’ve always wanted something lovely to brighten (使增添乐趣) my home. and so has my roommate Lily. But we can’t decide if (是否) we should have a dog or a cat.
On the one hand, I love cats, but I am allergic to them. Sometimes, when I am around them, my skin (皮肤) starts to get red, and my nose starts to run. Lily doesn’t want my health problem to keep us from getting a cat, and I don’t want that either.
On the other hand, dogs are Lily’s favorite. But Lily and I couldn’t be home during the day to walk a dog. Lily wanted to ask the son of our neighbor (邻居) to come once a day to do that. However, I don’t like her idea. I don’t want a stranger (陌生人) to come to my home, and I don’t want my pet’s health and happiness to be in the hands of a child.
It seems either could make a good pet, but neither option (两种选择都不) seems to feel right.
What do you think? Please let me know by e-mailing me.

【推荐2】Otters (水獭) are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafés (咖啡馆)” are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets.
However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage (损害) that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many threats—they have long been hunted for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters.
In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers. When they are kept as pets by humans, they do not live full and natural lives.
Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. These animals also need enough space to swim. Their owners’ bathtubs (浴缸) or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild.
On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once.
So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online.

【推荐3】15 years ago, Erin Merryn met a kitten who needed a home when she was a college student. He jumped into her arms and refused to let her go.
“I was attracted immediately and decided that I would take a risk and try hiding a kitten in my college dorm where animals are obviously not allowed,” Erin recalled.
A week later she was caught and given 48 hours to remove the cat. After several phone calls, Erin was able to find an old lady to take Bailey, the kitten. But Bailey did not get along with his new housemate. As soon as Erin learned that he would be sent away, she immediately offered to take him back. “I plotted for a month to persuade my parents to let me keep him.” said Erin.
Six years ago, Erin had Abby, her beautiful daughter. She didn’t know what Bailey would think about the new addition when she brought her home from the hospital.
“But it was love at first sight.” Erin said. Bailey stayed by Abby’s side, guarding and showering her with love and purrs(咕噜咕噜叫). As Abby grew, he became her protective brother, watching over her every step of the way. Abby picked up a book one day and tried to read it with Bailey by her side. He became her perfect audience, and the sweet boy was completely attracted by Abby as she told him stories of wonder.
A video showing Abby reading to Bailey went viral(走红) on the Internet in 2018. Numerous people followed Erin on social media platforms.
Unfortunately, on December 8, 2018, just months after becoming famous, the 14-year-old cat passed away from kidney failure.
A full month after Bailey’s passing, Erin still got cards and gifts from caring individuals. It is this love that Erin hopes Bailey’s fans hold on to. She wants her furry “first-born” to be remembered as a symbol of compassion(同情心) that inspires others to treat the world with love.
