A red panda. Sure, my cats would freak the hell out, but a red panda would quickly use their zen powers to calm them down.
They have an incredible smell.
Good or bad?
Clearly bad IMO, but I won’t shame you for your preferences.

Guinea pigs. They are just the best things ever
Secomding this. My fiancée and I have a standing rule that if we ever find an abandoned guinea pig, we’re taking them in. We have spare cages and our two piggies would be more than happy to have another friend.
Our house is old. We have spiders. They’re not venomous and they’re pretty cool. I have to occasionally rescue them from the old farm sink downstairs.
Growing up, some friends had a house kangaroo. It was afraid of everyone but them. Sometimes when visiting I’d find it on the couch and it’d sorta have a low key “oh fuck people” reaction, get up and hop off.
Edit: There’s a nice story of one night the old bloke saw the roo grab and drag the labrador out of the warm spot in front of the fire only to steal the spot for itself.
These people also had a donkey that was welcome in the house.
Rural Australia in the 80s.
Ferret. They’re awesome pets and blind as hell. If you see one roaming around, he’s probably lost.
They’re amazing pets if you have the time/energy. I recently went into an apartment whose owner had three pet ferrets. Cute little guys but he did not clean them well enough.
I’d love to get them again but I wouldn’t be able to spend the time for play/exercise.
Lizards of any kind.
Turtles. I can always trust a turtle.
It’s all fun and games until they bite one of your toes
Any animal that doesn’t pose a threat?
I’m a falconer so I’ve let many raptors into my home and vehicle. Birds have very sensitive lungs so I do give a lot of thought to air quality in those spaces though. No idling cars or near them for a length of time, no candles, no teflon, that kind of stuff.
Snakes, as long as they aren’t venomous
miniature donkey
Had a neighbor’s mini donkey escape last year and found it grazing outside our fence line. She lived in our front yard for several days while we searched for her owner. She was a Super chill animal who liked to stand inside a dog kennel we had setup.
I haven’t even met her and I already love her.

Spiders. I have, on more than one occation, collected spiders at work to stock up on the ones that died at home.
