Do you have a pet?

[Paolo]

I had a few cats (countryside house), two ducks, a sheep, (and in our city house) hamsters, a canary, a rabbit, small water turtles, and a lot of tropical fishes. Not all simultaneously, fortunately

I have 7 cats, but only 6 are inside. Also have 3 dogs, 2 cockatiels, 2 love birds, a rabbit, and a bunch of fish. I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank, a 55 gallon fresh water tank, and a 10 gallon fresh water tank.

 

The cats are my favorite by far. I do love all the rest though.

Two rabbits, named Tank and Oreo. Both are litter-trained indoor bunnies...sort of like cats except they don't really do anything besides sit around.

 

For those who know rabbits, Tank is a Mini Rex, and is, as her name may imply, a bit on the large side. Oreo is a cow bunny - an English Spot mix, white with black spots. Both are does, and both love laying on peoples' chests while they watch TV or something.

I have 13 Chinchillas (yes, 13... paid for 3, rescued 3 more, rescued breeding pair has since produced three litters) and 6 Degus. I wouldn't give them up for anything.

Had you asked last year on this date, my answer would have been quite different.

Back then, I had 4 cats (and a wife, too.) Today, I have but one cat (and no wife, either -- 2008 was a baaaaad year for me.)

I really want to get another, but I'm just not ready yet.

 

Stanley, the sole survivor, is a heckuva snuggly little pal, however, and is so needy he's almost two-cats-in-one.

Here he is in a bag (and trust me, he likes it in there):

CaT or Wife?

Three cats, and they're awesome.

Hm, I wasn't able to edit my post, so here goes:

2 large dogs and one cat. If anyone wants them come pick them up

[+Nathan Strum]

I used to, but not for quite a few years. Maybe someday, but I'm not specifically planning to get another one. Living in an apartment isn't really conducive to pet ownership.

There is no option I could vote.

 

I don't have a pet. I never had a pet. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility I would ever get one.

There are two pets in my family. One Myers Parrott whose name is Spike and a Quaker Parakeet named Lola.

Two dogs. Romeo and Julie.

I have a 8 month old staffordshire/bull mastiff mix (looks like a puggle on steroids), about 53 pounds now. I have 2 cats (1 orange tabby and his sister, a calico). Dog and cats were shelter rescue/adoptions. I have 8 turtles and one of my turles has a pleco fish as his tankmate. My snapping turtle offered to thin out the herd but I didnt take him up on it. Then again he also tried to make a finger sandwich. Made of my fingers. And for the non turtle people, snappers may appear slow but when motivated can strike too quick for comfort.

 

Full house... empty wallet.

Two cats.. 2-year old brothers. They're fantastic! Can't remember what my home was like without them.

 

(That's Julius in my avatar... His brother's a black-and grey named McLaren.)

My son and I have two cats - Kayla (aka LaLa) is solid black and almost 3 years old. Jay is white with tabby spots and about 10 months. We also have two Betta fish that the cats would love to play with.

 

I had dogs almost all my life. My last dog, Charlie, lived to be 12 before multiple health problems claimed him. I'd like another dog, but being a busy single parent doesn't give me the free time that a dog deserves.

 

I also have a Commodore PET, if that counts too.

Cato and Cooter. Two awesome cats. Well, the one on the right can be a pain in the butt but he keeps us on our toes! You can see Cooter in action here

Nice, thank you, just voted...

 

BTW, I would choose a cat.

I have a German Sheperd named Kriby after the Nes game :^)

Okay, here goes... 11 dogs, 5 cats, 6 birds, 2 sugar gliders, 3 bunny rabbits, a chinchilla and 2 horses. We started with Ramirez the miniature pinscher in the summer of '92, and he turned 17 this February:

 

 

I brought home the first stray about one year later, and our adventure into the world of rescue began. Our family grew quite a bit over the years, with 18 being the most dogs of our own at one time. We've had more than 10 die in the past six years, so as you can imagine we've been through quite a bit. 8 of our 11 dogs are now between the ages of 16 and 18, so there's lots more loss to come.

 

And that brings us to the horses. Knowing that our animal family is closer to the end than the beginning, we made the decision to adopt a pregnant rescue horse. She came all the way from Canada to Florida just over a year ago, and gave birth in May. They've become internet superstars thanks to their blog at CassidyApril.com. We had 100+ people per night waiting for the baby to be born on our live uStream cam... and of course she finally delivered 15 minutes after it was turned off 12 days into the baby watch.

 

On top of all that, we also make a living taking care of other people's pets. My wife and I have run a petsitting business for 12 years now, we work every day of the year including holidays and weekends. You go out of town, we come over and feed/potty your furry kids.

 

Other than that, I don't have much experience with animals.

Having a girlfriend working as a head vet tech dosen't help,seeing as we take all the strays,broken,and unwanteds. Currently our list is as short as it's been (as we don't have our 7 ferrets,1 cat(my baby), and recently loosing my favorite dog last week all due to health problems and age).So we now have:

4 dogs (2 cockers,1 cavilier,1 mix), 6 indoor cats, 1 indoor rabbit, 2 blue front amazons(parrots), 1 blue crowned conure (parrot).
