Ira, Jaya and Kavya each keep one pet, and no two of them keep the same kind. Between them they keep a cat, a parrot and a rabbit. Ira does not keep the rabbit. Jaya keeps neither the cat nor the rabbit. Which pet does Kavya keep?

Start with the girl who has the most said about her. Jaya is ruled out of both the cat and the rabbit, so Jaya keeps the parrot. That leaves the cat and the rabbit for Ira and Kavya, and Ira is ruled out of the rabbit, so Ira keeps the cat and Kavya is left with the rabbit. The trap is 'it cannot be decided': with only two clues for three girls the information looks too thin, but taking the doubly restricted girl first settles everything.
