mega thread Do you have any pets?

[Dark Horse 12,799]

Sure! I have two cats running around the house at the moment. At one point it was 4, and for a brief moment after one gave birth it was 9. Had to give away most of those though. They make for great cuddly companions, not as much maintenance required as with dogs, and it's nice to have one curl up on your lap while relaxing and watching TV or the like. Overall, I think they're a fine pet to have around.

Six cats, and a snake. 

 

In the past I've had various hamsters, gerbils, rats, degus, fish and sea monkeys

 

Don't get sea monkeys.

Have a 9 year old blind bunny.  Just lost my 11 year old bunny to old age.  I absolutely love them both

I have two cats and a dog, my cats don't get along and my dog wants to, but 10 tons of fun is a lot to handle when it's bounding towards you.

I've had 6-7 cats in my short life time + a few dogs... Pets just seem kinda there for me, as I can't feel any sort of emotional attachment to them anymore.

 

Congrats on getting yourself a decent pet, though

I've had my cat for 9 years and I LOVE her to death!

[Denim&Venöm 16,557]

I've always had a cat in my life for as far back as I can remember. Currently have four, making for a total of 8 through out my existence.

My mother and I are planning on adopting a kitten after she's cleared to have one by her doctors.

 

I love kitties!

[J.T. 1,843]

I grew up on a farm and at one point we had 24 cats :3

[One-Punch Man 316]

I have two chihuahuas...one of them I have successfully taught how to dance! 

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

My two wonderful boys! Treben (Age 4), the 3 legged black cat, and Nekkhalen (Age 2), the Marbled Bengal/Manx. They make my life interesting and lively at home.

I have four cats at the moment.  They are quite a handful but I wouldn't give them up for anything.

I thought I had a more recent image but I don't. Hmm. The pic below is in the spoiler, made in May or so.

 

I have one cat (Bill) and I love him! I used to have another cat (Persian cat, white) named Milli but she ran away, since she was getting old or something?

 

Picture of Bill:

That was my cat playing fetch back when she was alive. 

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

We currently have 10 cats right now.

 

Their names are, Imhotep, Persephone, Gaia, Hades, Athena, Freya, Odin, Percius, Arceus, and Casper.

 

We collectively have all these cats, but Percius and Arceus are specifically mine. I wish I had a pic handy, but I don't 

[Infernus 1,205]

I have a Persian daughter. Best.Cats.Ever. they are fluffy, lovely and the best friends you can imagine. She stays home (actually taking her out is a problem), they do need lots of love, food and care. Persians have an amazing personality (or catnality?), I would totally recommend a Persian cat <3

[Looking Glass 197]

Currently 2 dogs and 8 cats,

Got a kitten after my male calico (that is not a typo!), Mikey, who I've had since I was born, died (at 25) the kitten turned out to be a girl, I thought it was a guy when I first got her. Her name is Fergie (changed from Ferguson)

I found 2 more kittens in my driveway, so I scooped them up and gave them a home. They are Noah and Olive. Then fergie, at this time almost 2, gave birth to 5 kittens. They will get new homes when they get to be old enough.

 

The dogs, an 8 year old Rottweiler/German Shepard mix named Joe, and a 4 year old great Dane named lucy

I have a dog named Abby who is an English Springer Spaniel, but I do have an aunt who loves cats and has several (13) cats.

One really not nice kitty, one pain in the flank kitty and two dogs. The first is grouchy and quite vocal and picky about the details of personal contact (as in when her tail starts going your hand best be not near her or you'll know it). The second is a big fat fluffy love bug, sometimes forcing to be held and attended rather than letting you do what you were when he approached. 

 

 

Major hint about cats; learn the signs. When a cat's tail tip twitches, back off. It means they are unhappy and if continued frustrating activity continues there may (WILL) be blood. Worth it though for those cute moments or the funny moments.

When I was growing up, we had both cats and dogs.  Dogs are more openly friendly, but they HAVE to be around someone 24/7/365 or they go nuts.  Cats are a LOT easier to housebreak (although dealing w the litter box sucks).  Dogs are noisy.  Bark, bark, BARK! It's either a fly, the end of the world, or something else, but whatever it is, they're going to bark at it. They will be heard!  Death itself will not silence them!

 

Cats only yowl when they want to get laid (don't we all?)  I like them both, but if you live alone in an apartment, you made the right choice for a pet.  They are, by far, lower maintenance.

 

One weird detail.  Dogs will eat cat food, but most cats won't eat most dog foods.  You can't even starve them into it.

[galaxysquid 2,121]

I had 3 cats at my mom's until my oldest one passed in April, sadly. But two cats here. 

 

At my dad's house we have 3 cats and two dogs. (I don't really like dogs all that much.. Way more of a cat person. >.>)

[Rainboom Dash 1,055]

I have 4 cats, who are all very loving and smoochy.

[superdogz1999 551]

I have a Pomeranian cross Chihuahua named Bear who is about 2 years old.

[Plume 922]

I have one cat who is a fat, purring hot water bottle. He's literally the sweetest, most mellow cat, and has such a passion for food we have to put him on a diet XD He's adorable, though, and loves nothing more than snuggling on your lap or on your bed. He literally headbutts and licks wherever he can reach, but he has a crippling fear of strangers and children - we got him from a shelter, so I'm not sure if his previous owners had something to do with this. Love him to bits though <3
