What pet should my character have?

So i'm writing a book, and need some help.

My story is set in a sort of steampunk late 1800's time and like most steampunk novels, almost all the animals are either completely robotic or partially.

anyway do my main character who also happens to be the heroin, is very intelligent and proper, and i want to give her a unique pet.

i was thinking like a munchkin cat (they are real things, i swear) or maybe like a sugar slider? Something small and kind of cute. her pet won't be robotic at all, i want it to be completely organic.

out of those two options, which do you think would be the best for her to have? or if you have any other ideas, please let me know!

thank you :D

Update:

LMFAO sorry, i meant glider* ! i was typing way too quickly :p

    I'm with anonymous on the sugar glider thing. I'm not sure how she would obtain one in a society such as the one you have described, but that could be an opportunity for a super cool back story. I can totally see your character with a cute sugar glider perched on her shoulder, hiding in her pocket when something goes wrong. Plus, I've never seen a sugar glider done before.

    it's sugar glider, not sugar slider :P

    I'd go for a sugar glider. They're cute and unusual
