Not exactly a pet...

[Interpretrator]

...in fact, it's illegal to own these as pets. But I took my fiancé to a special meerkat sanctuary because he loves Meerkat Manor so much. Here's one of the little critters in my lap!

One of my friends owns a meercat named Timon. They are so curious like racoons.

No, like I said, we went to a meerkat sanctuary. We visited with them and fed them, they sat on us and ran around on us. It was fun. I heard about the place from someone I know who was taking her husband there. Here's the website, I have NO idea why the title is so long, sorry!

Nah, they were very friendly and curious. We did wear thick gloves to make sure they didn't mistake our fingers for the grubs we fed them.
