What pets do you guys have? I have a blackandwhite cat called Reggie and a tabby called Poppy and two goldfish called Speedy and Posideon...

I have a silver tabby named Kenan whose sole mission in life is to bite people she does not know. And sometimes people she does know.

Reggie...



(If the picture fits...!)

Nope, not at the moment.

I used to keep tropical fish but not for a few years, never had the space since. Now that we've moved I might get a tank again.

My neighbor and lifelong friend used to have full size aquariums at his house!

Nope, sadly I have none

Are living room floor is a warzone at the moment - Cat toys everywhere! And reggies hopeless - he goes into other cats homes and brings home their toys!

Sounds like a real sociable cat! Anybody have any dogs as pets?

no not to fond of animals

I used to have a great dog when I was smaller, now I just have 2 goldfish, really boring, I haven't trusted my parents since vater, whilst I was away, let my stick insects fry in 'the window'.

yees!..i have a turtle... bigger than my palm. his name is.....hmm....froggy?
I used to have some cats but they died of old age. I love cats....

I have had many cats and several dogs. Kenan is the current one. I taught her how to do back flips and jump around.

has someone used ye old "a serpent who people call my sister" yet?

I'm allergic but used to have this amazing bird. It was an Agapornis Rosseicollis (go look it up). My (desceased) grandmother used to have the same sort of bird and against her (the bird) I was allergic and not against my own one!

Anyhow he grew to become 12 years old and he passed away 12th of november 1994.. last four years or so he couldn't fly or anything and I took him along everywhere. When I was studying he just sat next to my books and slept a bit or so and when I was sad or so it was like he felt it and he padded over to me and stroked with his head against my hand.

And when we ate he sat next to my plate and *lol* when we ate brussel sprouts (which I hate), he ate at least one for me.

*sighs* the last weeks he slept on towels and such in a (open) shoebox next to my bed. He often had epileptic ceasures and I had to help him then. *sobs* He died when I was at school doing my exam of math (which went afwull).. .

*sobs* I miss him so much.. he wasn't a bird, he was a person, a friend, a part of me...

*hugs*
sorry to hear that

*grins faintly* no prob.. I'm over it after all these years.. kinda *sobs*
eh don't mind me folks, please don't mind me I'm just sobbing...

*offers tissues*

thanx *grins* again don't mind me I know you all are sitting there, rolling your eyes in agony while thinking what a pathetic kid of 22, still mourning bout a bird which's been dead for over 8 years but well sorry that's just me.

hey! It's me!
I wouldn't roll my eyes for that!

*shrugs* others would I know my class'mates' did back then when I was 14.. (okay that was a harsh school and I hated it there, my psych even knows that but still)..

Anyhow sorry back to the topic: no I don't have pets at this moment

they were stupid lil kids at that time, don't sweat it

*grins* pets-topic perhaps?

why should we?

Hmm... maybe perhaps cus we didn't start the thread and we better not ruin someone else's thread? That sounds like a good idea to me

nah, normally a thread around here gets offtopic after the first page

*grins* yeah but still

as you wish

*pokes the others* the thread is back to you all

or ... we can conquer it entirely first

Hmmmmmmmmm

ah

Indeed voila

It is hard losing pets and I have been through it several times since I was a child back in the early eighties. Kenan is quite a handful and is still fiesty at the age of five and I am so proud of her. She keeps me upbeat on the rainy days here. Cats are cool.

2 cats, 4 rabbits, and an African Gray Parrot. Kongo African Gray to be exact.

At our prime we had 25 pets...

Goodness how did you manage that!?

Add 8 more rabbits, another cat, one chicken, and the remainder of the number is made up rats.

I have a black and tan pomeranian named Oska. She is the dumbest creature that was ever put on this planet.

1 ginger coloured cat called Jonesy.
1 tortoise shell coloured cat called Mrs.Miggins.

Mech, you have 2 pussys then?

*walks in*
Hello!
*waits till laughter dies out*
*realise he's not in a comedyshow*
*walks out again*

I have 17 cats in our house.

wow! the most animals we ever had at one time was... drum roll please!

two cats
one dog
4 fish
3 guinea pigs
two rabbits
a mouse
a gerbil

and plenty of fleas!!

Wow, can i just say, african greys are the most BEAUTIFUL birds i know - and theyre so smart! I've only ever met one - it was in belgium, and this dude was just walkin down the central street of bruges with one on his shoulder!

I like parrots a lot - theres a white one near where we live, and if you try and walk away from him, he shouts hello! at the top of his voice!!

sounds like our king

Is that the spanish bloke?

no, that's the shaken, not stirred king

Sorry to be a dumb brunette, but huh?

those comedy shows where they have a live audience
ya I know, stupid humor
*sits in corner and sobs*

but what did it have to do with my response that you quoted?

it was about the post above the one I made

I have lots of pets: 4cats, 2dogs, 7birds, 7fish.

I know a pest.

bullepest

bullshitepest

or in other words Everton

says the Leeds fan, how positively confusing.

we are great, we are leeds

I'd mock you Finti, but alas I'm a Villa fan. *hangs head in shame*

Puff, Bichon Frise, male, 13

Tytus, Black Lab, male, 10

everton

i have a cute little dog named suzy.

My dad doesn't want to put a fence up so we may have to put up an electrical fence.

Surely thats still a fence though eh?

nah, just a sort of door

I never had any pets and I doubt I'll ever will... I like animals but... when they die, the loss is too big.

{I understand. I have been through the loss too many times.}

Better to have loved and lost etc...

but the time they spend with you is great

Depends what you lose. So what is it that it is better to have lost?

{Hmmmm.....}

The phrase is (I think!)...

"Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."

Does anyone know the origin of that?

british?

Nah too stupid for British, sounds Flemish.

mostlikely wallon

Exactly. And the less you lose the better.

I like that quote... But I have no idea of its origin.

I have a wondercat named Kenan. She does parties in her spare time.

I should think the phrase IS British... It's the kinda thing we say...

Other British things that can be considered stupid...

"Come back with your shield or on it." (Meaning, come back from war the victor, or dead.)

"Worse things happen at sea." (stop complaining!)

What other phrases do u think are stupid?

Shakespeare.

and he "invented" it all by himself?

yes, I'm around 5,000 years old

So are you Methos in disguise?

*giggles*

who mesa?

Two. Cat named Holly, and a ugly dog named Max

Methos is an Immortal off Highlander:The Series - he is 5000 years old, the oldest man living!

That's Greek. Spartan mothers told it to their sons when they set off for war.
(In Greek it's: i tan i epi tas)

Kan't ya kill a highlander person thingy by cuttin their head off?

yes.

Yes that is the only way an Immortal can truly die in the series Highlander. And Methos is the longest living Immortal in that series and friends with Duncan McCleod.

Ah come on, Mutant.....I can't believe Max is ugly. Remember, he loves you unconditionally !!

Ugly dogs do exist but they make up for it when they love on you when you're sad.

There is no such thing as an ugly dog. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

those pug dogs are ugly

Not to me they aren't.

OK, so they're kind of cute the way they look like they smashed their faces up against a wall. I'll give you that one.

I like cats, dogs, birds, fish, squirrels, etc.

I like horses, Beta fish (my grandmother has the longest living Beta fish in the history of the world), dogs, dolphins, whales, sharks (I don't want to pet one they're just cool), birds, primates and of course those lovable half mammals, mermaids.

Mermaids? Are you for real?

Mermaids are cool.

Mermaids are pretty hot too.

It's that healthy meat free diet they have.

LoL!!!
Mermaids are cool, yes.
What about mermen?

There are none, its merely a myth.

A Miss Mech? you have a lisp?

Well I for one don't believe in ugly dogs. I think they're all cute. Of course I'm also very biased.

I don't believe in Ugly women.

Not with your beer goggles on anyway.

helps some people

What about squirrels? Anyone know anything about squirrels?

yes, good desert

Are we talking red or grey squirrels?

Neither. The brown ones that love to run across the road just as you are driving along in your automobile. Don't you just hate that?

Splat, you mean when that happens?

Nope

My brother once ran over a stubborn pigeon that refused to move. It kind of exploded with a big popping sound and a cloud of feathers.

I laughed my **** off at that.

I have a rat terrier named "Elvis"

Makes a mess of your car though.

Get your minds out of the gutter boys!

aw...
there are squirrels all over our campus---i think they're really cute

There was blood and feathers stuck to his motor, yes.

But who cares about pigeons? Yuck, filthy rats with wings...

rats with wings indeed .humph. I'll ahve you know some of my dearest friends are pigeons, and they have impecable hygiene (no pun intended)

Talking to pigeons is not acceptable behaivour Minxy.

Although I liked "Pigeon Street" when I was a kid, but that was mostly down to Long Distance Clara and not the pigeons.

i have many tasty pets

What the **** is Gordon on about, this isn't gutter speak it's just talking about stuff that happens and when it does it's just a little messy.

*pounders how mace would look like if he had hair*

In the event of a nuclear war , only rats, cockroaches, and pigeons would survive, scary huh!

even rats and pigeons?

rats and sky rats.

and mesa?

mesa?

you too?

yeah.

lots of people then?

many. who said it in the first place?

what exactly?

Don't now if you are still talking about this but I have 2cats one is black is name is Mulder and the other is black, light brown and white and her is kiza and I also have 2dogs a fox terrier named nancy she is really old (13!) and a mutt black , grey and white, small called Misha. oh and a bird called oscar.

My cat Peanut lives with my sister and I fostered a kitty now called Dewey who lives with my best friend. I found Dewey walking on the interstate on the way home from vacation in Charleston. He was all grimy and sunburned. I got Peanut when she was thrown out of a car window in front of my job 2 years ago.
