This is a cat, depending on the breed you get their needs are different.
Contrary to popular belief, not all cats hate people, Devon Rexes make are a cat breed that makes good family pet because they love being around people and are actually really friendly!
You can get cats from all over the place, like breeders, pet stores, and shelters! I reccomend getting one from a shelter because they need a home and are likely house-trained
