) The item is entirely animal.
1) Is it alive? Yes!
2) Is it a cat? No, it is not a cat.
3) Does it fit in a breadbox? Yes
4) Does it have more than 4 limbs? Yes!
5) A big, hairy, scary spider? No
6) Does it normally live in water? No
7) Is it a ladybird? No
8) Is it vertebrate? No
9) Has it an exoskeleton? Yes
10) Is it something that can be kept as a pet? (by non-crazy people) Yes (Just to be clear, while I agree that lions and tigers and bears are quite dangerous and should not be kept as pets, I have no problem with people keeping, say, tarantulas as pets.)
Comments: Good point about the tail/other things maybe counting as limbs. I take back the question!
A tree can fit into a breadbox if it's a bonsai tree.
May I submit the
Pacific Tree Octopus as a (sadly fictional) example of a non-aquatic octopus?
