(Roleplaying) Which pet is the best for my sneak thief?

I hear the next DLC is the thieves guild, so I last night I made myself a (Kahjiit) sneak thief.

Now I'm trying to decide which pet (from currently available) is best for a sneak thief.

Now I know some people believe a pet is no good, as it is noisy and gives you away. Not me, the art of thief is distraction. You want to quickly check that cupboard when nobody is looking, you want to rub against somebody and pick their pockets for an item they obviously don't want anymore while they are distracted.

What better distraction than a pet, be it big, be is noisy, or just really cute, all these act as distractions which an honest Kahjiit just looking for some items nobody really wants anymore.

So, what pet would you recommend?

    So you think my partner in crime should be a cat?

    An easy option as I already have a cat, and they are so cute :)

    A cat. I've always wanted a black cat, but since there isn't I guess I have to settle down with the house cat.

    PS: A monkey would work for distraction too.

    If you are role playing a khajit shouldn't you refer to yourself as "this one"? The cat people of Elswyr are so good at stealing it makes no difference.

    Daedrat.

    Daedrat all the way.

    There is nothing like sneaking around with a huge rat with glowing blue eyes and a noice that will haunt your dreams forever.

    Daedrat is love, Daedrat is life.

    I'm thinking monkey. He can climb stuff to grab stuff for you. A perfect little thief.

    Don't have a monkey :(

    A fox would indeed be a good idea, having a cunning partner would help this one.

    There once was an assailant, of canine decent,
    out from down-under, his question did he vent;
    A thief I am, sneaked goods do I stow,
    I implore my curiosity to which pet I should show

    Blades and merchants came from all round,
    to respond to this thief, in response to his sound;
    many to take, animals for thee,
    some that will warn you, some that will pee

    Pray to the gods, yet none will respond,
    of a pet best fit for you to grow fond,
    Yet the best pet for sneak thieves, may not sound fun
    yet the answer for you my friend, to thieve, is just none.
