Question of the Day, Saturday October 3rd

Good morning everyone :sun:

Apart from cats, do you have any animals/pets?

I have two dogs (a labrador and a greyhound), and an Exmoor pony.

No. We find that the six cats keep us plenty busy.    Maybe once we retire, we'll get a dog. But not right now.

Not currently I want to have gerbils again or maybe guinea pigs but I don't trust my cats around anything small and furry I had gerbils at the time when I got the cats as kittens. The cats wanted to eat the gerbils and were constantly plotting how to get into the tank The gerbils passed away not long afterwards due to old age (one lived to just over 4 years!).

No other pets but there are lots of wild critters outside.

No, I just have Autumn right now and thank you for keeping your question precise and to the point and short.

Yes we have two cats who are females. A large dog outside a female husky mix . I have two glow fish tetras I believe. My daughter wants a lizard for Christmas!

2 hermit crabs and a Russian dwarf hamster.
I also have a squirrel named "chicken" that is wild but takes nuts from my hand.

- A Horse
- A Donkey
- A Great Pyrenees 

We have 5 cats

5 dogs also... 1. Elvis 13 years old (American Bulldog Mix). 2. Pablo 10 yrs (Rat terrier?). 3. Shelly (Pit mix) approx 10 yrs. 4. Olive Pants 3 yrs (min pin dachshund mix) 5. Ivy Weenters (rat terrier dachshund mix) approx 4 yrs

None. We used to keep a few fish; but gave them up when life felt too busy with just cats and kids.

I used to want 6 cats and 2 dogs. Apparently human kids equal 6 pets in my book because I'm satisfied with our crew now.

No...Artie is enough for me!! at least at this point in time....I give him all my love and attention......

Bless all who have more than one pet to share their love with...

I just have Chula and Paul though for many years had two cats, a dog, a rabbit, two parakeets and two hermit crabs!

I have two elderly cats. I would love to have a Boxer and a standard brown poodle but due to my health I'm just not able to care for any more animals.

Nope, just the two cats.  But I have a mass of birdlife and have three birdbaths that local birds play in very happily.

And theykeep the furkids entertained (who needs TV, they say... )

Saltwater reef tank, freshwater planted tank with fish in both. And a crested gecko

Ingave whisky, blighty and an ex husband!

We just have the 2 cat's. That's all the budget will allow for unfortunately.

That's pretty much the way it is here, too. I think that, as these kids pass on, we won't be getting other cats. It's not that we don't want them, but our budget probably won't allow for them the way it does right now. I hope that makes sense.

OTOH, Rick has often said that he doesn't think we were ever be totally without cats. And I have to say that I can't really envision our lives being catless. Simply put, cats just have so many ways to enrich our lives. But maybe just two.

Aside from Lilith, Sophie and Henry I have a 13 year old border collie

No, just lots of cast. But I do feed any and all wildlife that comes around too!
