Well, you have to chose your animals carefully. People who buy parrots had better put something in their will about who will get the animal, because most of them will outlive you.
Our oldest cat died this year. She was 18.
I think hamsters only have a lifespan of 2-3 years at best. Rats live a little bit longer and make great pets. (They won't walk off the edge of the table like a hamster or a mouse will.)
