I have three cats....Clementine (she doesn't have a tail and is aloof but sweet), Mona Lisa and Sam Libby. I didn't plan on having three, but Mom adopted Mona and her four cats did like Mona, so I took her. Sam Libby is the newest edition. She was someone's pet, but he or she threw her out of a car. So I saved her. She is cute and crazy.

No pets at the moment, last two were a Black Lab 'River', she died and 'Brandy' a Rottweiler rescued from an abusing home. I had to be firm with her because of that. She growled at my youngest son once when he tried to brush her with a dog brush to get rid of her winter coat. I got on the ground with her, brushed her and when she started to growl at me, I corrected her and held to the ground and bit her ear... It is the way a female corrects her litter and I was asserting Alpha Male status over her. Never had any more problems, but she still never really liked the brush...

Over almost 27 yrs of marriage, my ex and I had over 175 cats, numerous dogs, rats, mice, snakes, rabbits, a hamster and guinea pigs... used to have a list of their names, but lost it over the years. My oldest son still has the last of the batch of cats that we had, 'Highlander'. Youngest son has a dog and a ferret.

I have umm, 2 cats. Both are black and white. One is beautiful, extremely fluffy and perfectly tempered. Quite honestly the cutest cat ever and her name is Willow. The other is called Bentley (I dont remember why?) but I call him 'Bezzer', Willow is his mum but apart from fur colour they are nothing alike. Whilst she is long furred and dainty he is HUGE, muscley and has short fur. He's also cross-eyed and has a bent tail (probably the reason for his name.). He's not a very attractive cat but has his own 'Thomas O'malley' kinda charm.

I also have a crazy dog called Finnley, nicknamed 'Fi' who I taught to dance and is nuts. He likes to bark at the wind a lot He's a white Jack Russel and has massive brown eyes and likes to follow me around the house.

On november the 8th my chihuahua puppy is being born It'll need to stay with its mumma for 6-8 weeks though. But then I get it! xD Its parents are long-haired, fluffy and pretty so it should be too. Eek *excited*

I'm not going to go into pet history because there is FAR too much of it in my family

All i'll say is I once had a silver fish called Casper who was my first pet who I had for 3 days until he got caught in the plastic shrubbery in his bowl. He would've been able to escape if he could swim backwards so i asked my mum if fish could. Swim backwards that is. She said yes. Turns out, she was wrong. SO Casper the fish became a ghost!

ooh i forgot to mention before that we also have quails! I've no idea why my dad bought them, because he was bored probably, but maybe because their eggs are worth quite alot;Yay we've got the makings of our very own farm! Theyre sorta like brown chickens, except far more stupid...yesterday i picked one up and put it on a perch we keep to shelter them, which is just a few inches off the ground...when i came back next day it was still there cos it hadnt worked out how to get down...

Yay, dumb animals are so cute

I have a couple cats.

One thinks that he is a king. Seriously, like more so than any other cat ever. He's particularly fluffy. ^.^

And the other sits about upstairs all day, and never comes down. She also is rather fat... ah well!

Yay!

My kitty Clementine thinks she is queen. She sits on a chair in the living room and reigns over the other two kitties as they play.

hahaha, just for a point of fact, a female cat is referred to in animal research, etc, as a 'queen' and a male is a 'tom'...

Why this is so, I haven't the foggiest idea...

Had some bad pet related news today . We keep quails in the same aviary sort of thing with around 6 budgies; and the budgies are attacking the quails! They jump down onto their backs and just cling on while the quail runs around frantically and flapping its wings..apparently, its not a vicious thing, the budgies just do it for fun..

@Husky- why an earth do you know so much about animal research for cats?

Because I am 62 yrs old and have done a lot of different things in my lifetime including attending a sememter in an adult Lab Animal Technician class. It was located WAYYYYYYYY out in the mountains and I had to kill three hrs each day waiting for the class to finish to bring the students back to civilization, so I enrolled just for something to do. I have a certificate somewhere that qualifies me as a Junior LabAnimal Techie... Which means that I can shovel the S*** with the best of them... lol

Hey, you're the one with the broom, right???

@Mr. Tall...

When I was between 10-12 and living in Long Beach, California on the western outskirts of town, we had a large backyard and raised chickens, ducks, turkeys and rabbits. Didn't think about them until I read your post, Mr. Tall, thanks for the memory... I think, lol

Hated cleaning up the duck pen, woof, smelly!!! like you wouldn't believe. tasted good tho, the ducks for dinner, that is. lol We raised them for our own use, mainly, but I would occasionally go around the surrounding neighborhoods selling rabbits, dead or alive. I won't go into the details of that... or any of the rest, either.

Meh, never thought about it before, but I guess that is where I first got my taste, so to speak, of animal husbandry...

Kept a couple of them for pets, tho...

My pet.

I have a girl dog called Abbey. She's a 13 year old west highland terrier. She's really cute and has always reminded me of a miyazaki or disney dog.
