1. 5 cats!

[Bertha Venation]

34. Somehow, Your Majesty, I knew you'd have cats.

What are their names and what do they look like?

[hrmjustin]

35. Lol

Peanut is a 8 year old female gray short hair.
Milo and Nala are 7 year old brother and sister short hair cats. Colors are brown, white, and black.
Patches is a 8 year old Maine coon that is grey, brown, and pink.
Heyou is a 4 year old bombay cat. Black and white.

[OriginalGeek]

2. currently a dog, a cat and a bearded dragon

but hamsters, snakes, hedgehogs and others have been here at various times.

[ZombieHorde]

5. That is called a zoo.

You should charge people to visit your home.

[OriginalGeek]

7. Damn fine idea!

I would even consider unopened beer a suitable entry fee.

[ZombieHorde]

8. That's a friendly price. nt

[OriginalGeek]

14. I am a kind zookeeper.

And thirsty.

[MiddleFingerMom]

9. P-f-f-t. Like you'd turn down a beer just because it's open. It WOULD have to be cold, though,

[OriginalGeek]

13. I know that and YOU know that

but there's no reason to let the beer swilling zoophiles know that!







wait....zoophiles? what exactly am I inviting folks over for again?







oh who cares. Beer!

[Locut0s]

3. Former dog owners. Now just fish. I would really like another dog. nt.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. two dogs, three cats.

[a la izquierda]

6. Three dogs.

The oldest is 8 and arthritic...and getting grumpy with the younger two.

[UtahLib]

10. I love having as many as I can care for.

I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 conure and 2 pygmy goats. I also foster animals from shelters whenever possible. Heaven, to me, is being surrounded by animals.

[onehandle]

11. Two cats, one dog.

Here's a tense standoff between the dog and one of the cats in our living room.

[RILib]

12. which is the cat?

[BainsBane]

20. now, now

I thought something similar myself. My own preference is for dogs that outweigh cats.

[Chan790]

15. We have fruit flies.

I've given up naming them individually...they all die too fast. They're all named Robert now.

[BainsBane]

21. They don't die fast enough

They actually live about 30 days.

[Chan790]

25. I agree.

I'm powerless to get rid of them...my roommate saves banana peels until he can compost them, calls it environmentalism. I call it disgusting. I throw them away and we argue.

[redwitch]

27. We and our cats are doing battle with the little moth thingies

that inhabit flour and cereal when the air is damp for too long. The cats think they are great fun.

[fizzgig]

40. those buggers are so hard to get rid of

took my dad a couple of years to finally root them out.

[BainsBane]

28. They don't have to be rotted to compost

You can put them on the compost pile right after peeling them.

[Chan790]

37. No, we live in a high-rise urban apartment.

He's saving them up 3 days to 1 week and taking them someplace else to compost.

[fizzgig]

41. please tell me he at least keeps them in a closed container

if not, that is absolutely disgusting.

set a small glass of beer or soapy water next to the problem area, it'll help.

[Chan790]

44. Usually whatever container he can scrounge that is going to recycling...typically a tin can. n/t

[cyberswede]

16. 2 cats, one dog

black kitties and a golden retriever.

[Ikonoklast]

17. 5 kitties, currently.

When my sons still lived here, add three kitties, an iguana, several bearded dragons, various snakes, a salt water aquarium, two fresh-water aquariums, and a bunch of chameleons.

Son worked at a exotic pet store working his way through school.

Trust me, five kitties is a breeze.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. Two Kitties

Sissy Girl

Big Boy
[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Arugula Latte]

46. Love them!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

53. Thanks!

Aren't they the sweetest looking kitties, Ever !!

[progressivejazzredux]

19. One cat. Love her like mad.

[graham4anything]

22. 2 cats, one a Russian Blue, one a Calico

at the moment, 2 indoor only cats. One is like a Russian Blue cat, all my cats I ever had were adopted from shelters
except one now deceased(old age) I found on the D train in Brooklyn years back

Of the two we have now, one is a Russian Blue cat adopted from shelter
this describes him perfectly, smartest cat of many we have had over the years
http://www.animalsites.net/news/cats/russian-blue-cat-specs-pictures/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue
the other is a orange/brown calico type

We lost at 17 years old, our white cat last year during Hurricane Sandy (to old age).
It was really sad.
About a month later went to two different shelters, and just by luck the one we found was there.
Most loving, playful smart cat (and I am only the second favorite of him in the house).
Like the article says, he very much acts like a dog in some ways, and can open and close shower doors, cabinet doors, and closet doors.

Likes a little crumpled up paper acting as a ball, and also likes tennis balls

Have had dogs in the past, miniature schnauzer's.

[Agschmid]

23. One cat... Named Kylie

She named after Australian superstar Kylie Minogue... of course

[Rob H.]

24. One cat

If I had a bigger place than my 1-bedroom apartment I might have more pets--I'm still trying to decide whether I'm too lazy to have a dog and how the cat would react if I did. I'm absolutely crazy about my kitty and would hate for her to feel jealous.

Edited to add photo. Her name is Summer and she's a Siamese mix:

[fizzgig]

42. what a beauty!

[redwitch]

64. Siamese AND tabby? Perfection!

And she has the perfect tabby nose.

[csziggy]

26. One cat, six horses, a bunch of goldfish (outside pond), and at the moment

A few thousand tadpoles which are rapidly morphing into tiny frogs.

The number of goldfish is unknown. We had four in the upper pond and 11-12 in the lower one. The fish in the upper pond spawned and we have baby fish that are between 1/2" and two inches, though they get bigger daily. Two or three of the babies are gold with black and/or white spots. The rest are just carp. Since the goldfish were feeder goldfish I bought cheap, I'm happy we have any with color!

[Demoiselle]

29. 5 cats...all born under the front porch.

Their feral mama hangs around outside, will NOT come in, but allows me to feed her. I'v managed to capture her long enough to have her neutered...and all her progeny are neutered, of course.
Two dogs as well.. at the moment, one Great Pyrenees (the stoic Wilbur) and one very mixed shelter veteran, sweet sweet girl, who has, in about two weeks, become Wilbur's BFF. I have yet to properly name her. Brenda, maybe.

[In_The_Wind]

30. One dog, three parrots and thirteen doves.

[Wait Wut]

51. And...

...a partridge in a pear tree?

[In_The_Wind]

63. One of the Doves has a crush on me. He sings to me as I sit at the table.

Today, as I was cleaning out the main cage, he flew out. After I picked him up off the floor, I held him gently for a while. I usually don't handle the doves but he really seems to have a soft spot in his heart just for me. Cute little guy with a double orange ring around his eyes. Only 2 of the 11 look like that.
Mom & Dad have a separate cage.

[pintobean]

31. 2 cats, 1 dog and a baby possum

that is in a nest in some equipment I have temporally stored under a bay window. I just found it a little while ago. I was getting some stuff that I will need tomorrow when I uncovered her. The poor little thing looked scared shitless. I called my daughter to come and see it. We were able to get what I needed without disturbing her and covered her back up.

Here's a pic of one from last year. My daughter named her Pickles. The new one is smaller and lighter.



Edit - here's the new one:

[applegrove]

32. One cat. One big fat spider (wild). I'm hoping the cat will not eat the spider so the spider

can get rid of other bugs this summer. So far I have been able to keep them apart.

[nolabear]

33. 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 African Gray Parrot.

It gets interesting.

[Bertha Venation]

36. we have ten cats

How we accumulated our nuisance is a long story.

We have (oldest to youngest)

Toby, a tuxie, born on 9/11/01
Petey, a seal point Siamese, Toby's litter mate
Cocoa, a black & white long hair who must be part Norwegian Forest Cat
*the next four are a complete litter
*Charley Girl, a black & brown tabby
*Skittles, a beautiful tortoiseshell
*Smudgy, a tiny long hair all black with a white patch on her throat
*Moose, an aptly named long hair ginger tom
Mildred, a soft, soft sandy tabby
O'Malley, aka Jabba the Catt, a black & brown tabby with white feet and patches
Rat Face, a small tuxie who speaks her mind -- loudly; O'Malley's litter mate

[hibbing]

38. Cat and fish

Hi,
I have always had a cat and have had fish for over 30 years. I want to get a bird at some point in the future.

Peace

[TeamPooka]

39. one public animal shelter rescued beautiful whippet labrador dog.

4 wonderful years together so far.

[fizzgig]

43. i have two feline overlords

fat cat. she and my husband act like teenagers making out all the time. they are so in love with each other.



dingbat. i'm pretty sure she thinks she's a dog. sweet and such the attention whore.



and a rare occasion they tolerate each other enough to sit this close


got them in sept. 05 from my bestie who was going to spend a year studying in germany. i'd spent plenty of time with them and i was more than happy to take them in.

well, one year turned into two years turned into five years turned into i'm pretty sure she is never coming back. i miss her every day, but i have her furmonsters to keep me company. i was so happy when they and my husband bonded.

[Arugula Latte]

47. Awww!

[RedCloud]

45. 1 funny as hell parrot, 3 dogs, a 6 pound kitten and shrinking unwanted rodents

[BillStein]

48. dog person, mostly

Specifically Cardigan Corgies... tho' I've considered giving the spiders in my attic names and adopting them. I certainly haven't been able to get rid of them.

[sinkingfeeling]

49. 2 dogs, 4 cats

[olddots]

50. It's really hard walking fish

we have two dogs but they really have us .

[azurnoir]

4 cats -Sister a Lilac point Siamese
Diablo- long haired silver grey master resurfacer of textured wallpaper
Ginger-a nonchalant marmalade
Cookie long haired black and white charmer

Mishka rescued house mouse

Chester the mystery toad-mystery because he turned up in our dining room in the middle of January when it was sub-zero outside

and Spike the Emperor scorpion

[Arugula Latte]

58. A scorpion? You win the thread.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having one as a pet.

[azurnoir]

59. Emperor's are pretty common I thought

they're the least poisonous of scorpions, nonlethal sting although I haven't had any experience with that

here's a picture of one (not my hand)

[Arugula Latte]

61. I guess so! I looked it up after I saw your post.

I have a bit of arachnophobia, so I think I'll stick with the fuzzy ones, but they sure are interesting (and prehistoric looking) critters.

[azurnoir]

62. I was the same when we first got him(?)

but after a while he kind of grew on me, they're forest scorpions and like it a bit damp so we spritz him with water occasionaly and he does this 'happy dance' on 2 legs it's rather cute

[tabbycat31]

54. for now fish

However, I am a cat person. My late Tabby would have turned 20 today had he still been around.

He's been gone since 4/15/11.

[Major Nikon]

55. 2 dogs, 1 rabbit, 3 birds, and 2 turtles

[magical thyme]

56. 1 horse, 2 dogs, a cockatoo, a senegal parrot, a lovebird, a sun conure, an african weaver finch,

and sometimes a mostly feral cat that visits the barn in the middle of the night to eat.

In the past I've had guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, a host of birds of all sorts, and fish.

[Blue_In_AK]

57. One cat, one dog

[Taverner]

60. I believe in dog

Ceiling cat has nothing on dog, walks be upon him
