Pets are awesome, I have a cat and she isn't even very funny or cuddly.
I got her from the shelter and the first few months I couldn't pet her at all.
It took me a good year, but now she loves to cuddle (for about five minutes at a time and only with me).
When I'm in bed she comes to lay by my side until I've petted her and after about five minutes she leaves and comes back in the morning.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I say her name and I hear a purring engine starting up next to me.
She doesn't do a lot of crazy stuff, mostly she just sleeps.
Seeing her do anything really warms the heart though Big Grin | :-D

Dogs are great too, but require more attention. It's not very doable as a single person. A coworker does it, but has to bring his dog to a dogsitter every day.
Do yourself a favor and get a cat (preferably from a shelter, they need you!), best decision ever Big Grin | :-D
They really brighten your days and reduce stress!

Whatever you do, hope it works out!
I hope you hear from your friend across the Atlantic (I'm assuming that's what it's about).

P.S. I'm not really depressed, notice the joke icon Smile | :)
