Want a cat for a pet? How about a parrot? You can get your own small pet! In contrast to combat pets, small pets are simply around for companionship. They serve no purpose other than to entertain you and others.
	Pet Choices There are several small pet choices. Some small pets are common, while others are very rare. Currently you can get: cats (several types), bunnies (one type), owls, parrots (several types), dragon whelplings (green/crimson/black), snakes, spiders, mechanical chickens, mechanical squirrels, worgs, and cockroaches.

When you first receive a pet, you must right-click on the object containing the pet (such as a crate). Now you have a pet. You can collect different types of pets but you can only have one pet out at a time.

	You can't rename the pets.
	Small pets always follow you around. You don't summon them in or out as you do with combat pets.
	Small pets cannot be attacked. Also, their info box is blue.
	You can have both a combat pet and a small pet at the same time. If you're a Hunter, you can even pick both pets to compliment each other in a cool way.
	You can earn some Achievements by getting some pets.

Why should I get a small pet?
Because they are cool!

Where can I find pets?
Ask other players! There are parrots in Booty Bay.

A new storage system has been added for your companions. They now no longer take up bag or bank space. You now "learn" each pet, once you get them, similar to a spell. You can carry all of your pets around at once and summon them whenever you want. The same system is used for player mounts.

Press "Shift-P" to open up your pet menu. You will then see a list of all of the pets you have. Right click on any of your existing pets to store them. If you want to summon a pet more quickly, drag the icon to one of your action bars.
