I live "alone" but not really alone with all these furbabies....still, talking about Greenies and canned food gets a little old at times, and they don't like the same shows I do so it's a little frustrating...

No one here lives alone! We have kitties!


Me, Jeremy, our 6 kitties, our dog, my 2 birds (he doesn't claim them LOL )
My tarantula and our fish.

I have lived alone (as far as humans go) for fifteen years now, apart from the year when I let out a room in the house. I have to say I don't think I could live with (or share with) anyone ever again - I like my independence and solitude and the company of the cats is all I need at home.

If I didn't have Jerry, I think I would prefer to live along as well........I'm a loner and independent.............I guess it has it's pros and cons living with another human being!

I have two roomates, one is ok, the other is a complete idiot and pain in the rear. They both dont like animals so I keep my kitties in my room all the time but it is a very big bedroom and I have two loft beds, 4 cat trees and two widow perches so they have it pretty good. My one roomate never locks the door when he leaves, this has led me to install a deadbolt on my bedroom door. He also goes on frequent rampages against the little ants you get during the summer and he is always spraying poison ( I hate chemicals and try never to use them so this really bothers me). Both of them refuse to pay for anything like toilet paper or dish soap. they jsut wait until I buy it and then when I complain they say they will get it next time. Next time comes and nobody makes any moves to buy it. I have tried to wait it out but after a week of no dish soap and eating out I cave in and buy it.

I would much rather live alone. Roomates SUCK!!!

I say buy your own supplies and keep it in your room (you could get a little mini-fridge or something) until they grow up and pull some weight!

I live by myself, with the boys of course, and there are definately pros and cons. I like having a roommate around to keep me company, but I like having only myself to blame if the place is messy or whatever. So I guess I'll live by myself and just hang out with my friends all the time until I a) get married or b) become so poor I have to let the other room out!

I used to think this as well.
I am deathly afraid of spiders, almost unreasonably so.
I purchased her to help me somewhat and she has, to a degree, I still don't want one on me and I don't want them touching me, but I no longer have panic attacks when I see one.
Tarantulas are not hands on pets, so it works out ok.

As long as she does not move fast, I can handle changing her water and dropping a few crickets in.

One of them is 33 years old so I dont have high hopes he will grow up. I think he is a lost cause. I have thought about the fridge but the electic line in my room is not enough to power the air conditoner and a small fridge. I am thinking of buying my own toilet paper and birnging it with me when I use the bathroom. the only problem is the last time I tried this they just used knapkins they got free from fast food joints and I am afraid they will clog the toilet. They also steal my food so I hide whatever I can in my room. I just cant wait until I can afford to live on my own.

Movin' on up!
If you count sharing a place with 3 cats and 4 dogs as living "alone".

Not sure if I want to share a home, with another person any more. I DO miss having someone to discuss the day and cuddle up on the couch with and I DO hate to sleep alone


If I ever DO share a home again, it will be MY house and on MY terms - I'm tired of being the one, who has to move out.
