Was wondering if anyone had any pets, how many, which is your favorite, like/dislike any of them, etc.

For me I don't have any currently, but I kept snakes in the past. I'll be keeping some tarantulas near the summers end tho, just narrowing down the species I want first! Probably will be some Brachypelmas though haha.

I dislike most animals, I don't hate them, they just terrify me (not kidding), the only ones I'm not scared of are dogs and snakes. Yes, I am even scared of little kittens, make fun of me all you want. {XD}

Anyways, I only have one pet.
I have a pure-bred German Shepard named Danny that's extremely over-protective of my house, I got him about 4 years ago when he was a puppy.

I used to have a Red-Tailed Boa Constrictor that was just over 9 feet long and lived 19 years, I got him when I was 6 and I watched him hatch and grow his whole life, he was very protective of me and was my childhood friend, he passed away only about 7 months ago.

This is the best thing ever. A small, fluffy kitten is terrifying, but a boa constrictor... totally kosher. {XD} Surprised to hear it's a boy, though. Usually only females get that long.

I just have two indoor cats. Nothing fancy, just a couple DSHs from the shelter. Sergeant Dustmop (well gee, that sounds familiar) is my little boy. He's crippled and adorable. I also have a little girl by the name of Bandit because he needed a friend. I've had them for almost 4 years now, ever since they were 3- and 5-months-old, respectively.

We have a massive clowder of feral cats that live outside the house, too. I've already taken the liberty of getting the local shelter to TNR the females. I've been taming and feeding them, and naming them as I can pet them. :3
There's a Mama (naturally), Tink, Shadow, Peanut, Pickles, Commander Boots, and Spock. Best cat army.


My dad has a dog, a mixed breed with no real defining features of any breed except Rottie. But I don't consider it to be a family pet; she's more of a nuisance. They call her "Porky" for pretty obvious reasons.

I have an albino ferret I named Kojofu - yep I named it after Mienfoo's Japanese name - she is so much fun to play with, very hard to catch her... I can't keep my #1 favorite animal as a pet (weasel) so it's closest relative I can have are ferrets (which are my 3rd favorite animals in the world) - so at least with Kojofu my life is fun, never bored and was a big influence and help me to not get to depress when my grandma passed away.

once my ferret passes away I want to get a Chinchilla.

Other pets in my home? - I do miss playing with my family's cats (so I go visit them - I live in a two-story home, top floor has the backyard and trees, lower floor has a small front yard - cats live in the upper floor and dogs in the lower floor - cats & dogs don't get along)

- my little sister has 2 chihuahuas and my grandma left us (my uncle and me) another Chihuahua (so 3 chihuahuas at home)

- my grandma also left us her 3 Parakeets & 3 Finches... which my uncle takes care of in his room.

so to make it easy:
Dogs 3
Cats 4
Finches 3
Parakeets 3
Ferret 1

I don't have any pets. My father dislikes having a pet.

I want to get a pet as soon as I move out though. Preferably a bunny or a cat.
...Or a snake, but I can't keep one here. o3o"

Whatever. All I know is that I'll never, ever get a dog. Too many bad experiences with them. Did I ever mention I have ever stood under the blazing hot sun for about 2 hours because my neighbor's dogs cornered me to a freaking corner of a street? And it was when I was only 8! Nope, never getting a dog. Ever.

My cat jumped out my broken window.

:(

I've had plenty of cats, and one way or another, either through running away or dying, they just seem to all leave us. We've also had a dog, but it wasn't ours. Mom eventually got rid of it.

TBH, I'm not a pet person cause i'm lazy.

I had a cat named Tom. (most imaginative name for a cat, right?) He was, while cute, quite loud and annoying. I still loved him, he just wouldn't stop meowing before and after he had his feed. Before him was his mummy, Lisa. She was adorable, caring, and quieter than her son. Sadly we gave her and 2 other kittens away, and kept Tom.

We currently don't have any pets, considering poor Tommy got pretty ill, however, been thinking about getting another cat.

I have an imaginary turtle. His name is Soup and he likes to play with his imaginary food and sometimes he would juggle his tomatoes.
Ok, so I don't have a real pet. But i'm planning on getting like a lab or something in a couple of years, like when i'm in my 20s.
There's nothing here man, this is just an illusion

I had several fish when I was younger, but I got really sad that they kept dying, so I stopped getting more of them. I haven't had any other pets to date. I don't think my lifestyle is such that I could support a pet like a dog at the moment, but who knows, maybe I'll get one in a few years. For now, I suppose Pokémon will have to suffice as my (pixilated) pets...

I like all animals except fish, they scare me.

I used to have a dog named Ashely but she died in this past August. I now have a cat because my dad's GF has a cat, his name is Bobbaloo.

Currently, I have a cat. She was sort of difficult to manage at first as she would cause a lot of trouble, but thankfully, though, she's more mature now and has gotten a little easier to handle. :] I might get another cat, but have to wait until this one's fully grown. Before that, there used to be two other cats in my house and also a dog, and they'd get along with other without any sort of trouble at all.

My dog, Ika passed away on Monday/Tuesday night (At midnight on Monday night, going into Tuesday). I miss her so much. This Tuesday, it'll be a week since Ika passed away, and also a year since Zamb (My other dog) passed. :( It's so weird without Ika here. Things don't feel the same at all. But, things will get better. She was sick, and now she's in a better place, up with Thor and Zamb. :)

However, today we got a new addition to our family! Her name is Jezi, she's only 8-weeks old today! :)

Here are some pictures: One, two, three, and four! She's a sweetheart....although she bites and scratches like a mothertrucker. :P

Best Mother's Day ever. :D

We have three fish which are getting on a bit (they're all five years old) and three birds: two cockatiels and one parrot (I don't know its species). The fish are boring, but it's interesting how we came to have three birds.

We bought one of the cockatiels in 2010 and thought that would be all, but we chanced upon the parrot sitting outside our house in the middle of last year. We knew that it wasn't wild because it seemed very tame and was a species that we had never seen anywhere before. My dad decided to catch it and it's made a happy home with us since. The other cockatiel was owned by my grandparents for fifteen years (I was in the stroller with my mum when she found it injured on the street and gave it to them @[email protected]) but they've both passed away, so we've taken the bird in for its final years. It's a handful having three cages and having to buy three times the normal amount bird seed, but we manage.

I don't think i've had a pet in years other than a goldfish or two. And those don't last long ever. ;-; And I doubt i'd try to get a cat or dog anytime soon, ugh. I like them, but I don't want any messes in wherever i'll live.

I live in a zoo. At least, that's the comment that I get whenever someone hears the list of pets that I have.

In total, I have two dogs, three cats, and a hamster. One dog, two cats, and the hamster are my own pets. The other two animals belong to my mother.

My dog is a Parson Russell Terrier named Ella. She's nine-years-old, still acts like she's young, and she's just the sweetest dog anyone has ever met. Babies, small children, and complete strangers (who should be old enough to know not to go up to random dogs) all can pet her and she just loves the attention.

My Siamese cat, Pretzel, is the true seeker of attention. She believes that the world revolves around her, and I might have spoiled her to the point where that's true. She gets special treatment all day, either getting the most attention, the best food, the best seat in the house. But in true Siamese fashion, she'll scream her head off if she isn't happy. So if I ever want some peace, I have to make sure the queen is happy.

The other cat I have, Nova, is quiet and shy. She's just a tabby cat, but she's ridiculously huge compared to any other cat I've owned. (Though Pretzel is only six pounds and dinky.) Nova's a little bigger than my dog. She's gentle though, and is just a sweet cat who wants to be left alone.

Like my Chinese dwarf hamster, Nugget. She's tiny, shy, and really only comes out to visit when she wants something to eat. But that suits the both of us fine. Kind of difficult to have a hamster be outside of the cage when I have two cats and a dog always underfoot.

Hehehe if I said I never had pets then I'd be lying, and I've had many pets over the years. My family and I are a bunch of animal people. ^^

I have a dog named Shannon. She's a 4-year-old black Labrador and the biggest people person I know. What's funny is that I swear she thinks she's part cat and part human. It's hilarious!

I also have a parrot. Well, technically he's more of my mom's pet. Anyway, he's a 27-year-old Red-lored Amazon (type of parrot..look it up) named Tango. He's kinda the family brat. :/

There's also an aquarium in my house. We have a catfish in there, a large fish that I've had for about 8 years now (don't remember his species), a crayfish, and a crab.

A couple if years ago, I also had a chameleon named Irwin. And yes, we named him after the Crocodile Hunter.

So uh...yeah. I live in a zoo. Hahaha! XD
