Just cats, for now. Hubby wants to get some fish, and as much as I think the cats would enjoy kitty TV, I have my reservations. I have zero interest in fish, and even less interest in cleaning fish tanks. This is the same man who SWORE that he would take care of the litterboxes, which I do.

I also have fish. We used to have Leopard Geckos, a Ball Python, mice, Rats, Hermit Crabs, Guinea Pig, Zebra Finches, and a Tarantula. We lost some to old age and rehomed the rest. The cats were destroying the cages they were in.

I just have Ivo, unless you count the occasional roach which comes and visits...


My brother and sis-in-law have one cat, Natalie (Kiki), along with two dogs, Shabba (boston terrier and pit bull mix) and Boh (boston terrier). I can say from experience, Kiki runs the house!

I have a pomeranian, a long haired chihuahua(sp). I have had a beta, he died in Feb, a couple hermit crabs, they also died. I have had goats, cows, horses, chickens, ducks, geese and emus. I have also had many dogs and cats along the way but only the 5 of us now.

We just have dustbunnies, er, make that dust-and-fur bunnies, the size of small animals. And that's with vaccuuming three times a week. I swear I am going to crazy-glue the fur on these cats so it doesn't shed....

I myself don't have any other pets, but my dream is to someday get an African grey parrot. As much as I adore cats, I'd also loved aprrots ever since I was a kid. I'm aware of the possible hazards of cats and parrots existing under one roof, but I also know that people have successfully made it work--and so will I!

I have fish. African Cichlids. They're feisty little buggers.



And yes, fish tanks are a HASSLE and a half.
They're harder to take care of than cats

We have a Pomerianan named Mandy. I'd love to have more animals, but 4 is enough for now. They keep me busy the way it is!

a displaced peacock (mate died) German Shepherd, cats (lost count) *G* and 2 horses. I also do wildlife rescue- unofficial pets are a skunk, a raccoon and a possum who come here every night to say hello

I just have Spike.
Sometimes I think it would be nice to have an aquarium of fish so Spike could have kitty-tv. Then I realize I don't want to deal with the tank.

I have the worlds hardest to keep little red devil - hes nearly four years old - talks non stop, watches tv and is red haired in color - eats for Britain, sleeps all night and demands that I play with him all day solid.

Yup - being a parent to a son is definately chaotic

Other than that I have - which my mum looks after for me - three Yorkshire terriers, another huge black cat called Woody and she has a budgie which terrifies me.

Dogs are called, Ross, willow and Jamie. I had a short haired chihauhau until last year who was 16 when he passed away - i was devastated.

Have a red haired wife - does that count?

I said to my wife today that i had thought about a change of career and thought about going into farming. She told me on monday coming, straight after my vasectomy I would be fine to pursue this as I would have a couple of achres for sure.

Women are cruel...
