A pet animal is any domestic animal, not meant to be in the wild, while many people keep a farm animal as a pet, most farm animals are considered livestock.
Pets are usually animals that share our homes, providing us with companionship and love in return for our care and feeding of them, and our love and companionship. They can be just about any species of animal that has been born and bred in captivity - cats, dogs, domestic birds, fish, rabbits, mice, etc.
All pet animals can be traced back to a wild ancester, but not all wild animals are suitable to be kept as pets. Most states have laws prohibiting the capture of native wild animals for the purpose of keeping them as pets.
