    I left with a pair of parrots and four kids. Had more but died out slowly... Plan to bring in a dog. Also feed some 3-4 cats living under our house, but those not really belong to no-one...

      Go for an anaconda instead. It'll give you a nice big hug when you come home tired from work! :)

        Just a silly question: do you have a pet? If so, what is it? I know that Sander - @Sanderrossel - has a cat. I have a cat, but I'm broadminded and don't mind dogs. Just remember: a dog may be man's best friend, but a cat won't tell the police where you hide your drugs ...

        We have four dogs and a cat. The dogs are two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and two miniature wire-haired Dachshunds. We also have five acres for them to run around and dig in. Things are rather interesting around here with them. The Ridgebacks are the gigantic African-type and are really, really smart. They all are really, except the male Dachshund. He's not so bright but he is also the most tenacious hunter I have ever seen.

                    For about twenty years there was the family turtle. In some ways, they're the original pet rock - but then they get warmed up now and then, scooting with surprising speed. An amazing escape artist.

                      2 cats (Birmans, half-brothers) I keep about a dozen species of phasmid (Stick insect / walking stick) with around 250 - 300 individuals. Only a few of the larger species (Eurycnema goliath [^] are my favourite, then the good ol' Eurycantha calcarata [^]) but dozens of some of the smaller species. Have cut back considerably in recent years. Wife keeps bees - up to 8 hives, so at peak times about 300,000 bees. :-)

                          I have two cats: Isobel who I did not name - you'll have to blame *his* previous person for that. He loves people, hates other animals. Can only eat really expensive food or he gets sick. It's all worth it, because he is a pretty awesome cat. Have you ever given someone a "raspberry?" - for you not in the know, it's where you put your lips on someone's belly and blow. Makes kids laugh uncontrollably. You can do that to this cat. He will let you do just about anything to him. and Groucho Mugabe who I did name, as I always name my cats after tyrants or failed leaders, and this one caused a tiny adorable food crisis when we brought him home so it seemed fitting - also he's slightly cross eyed. He's my floofy little black cat and he only loves me. He likes to watch netflix or watch me play video games like Red Dead Redemption. He also has a favorite music video, but his taste is awful. (The music video is probably NSFW for some environments so i won't post it)

                              A house cat. Plus two other neighbourhood cats which we feed. One thing I've learnt in dealing with animals is patience. Whether it is eating food, or drinking water, or other biological things like urinating or defecating, an animal takes its own length of time. So, we have to learn to be patient, no scope for urgency. See video here - Cat Rolling its Eyes in Fear - YouTube[^]

                                    Just a silly question: do you have a pet? If so, what is it? I know that Sander - @Sanderrossel - has a cat. I have a cat, but I'm broadminded and don't mind dogs. Just remember: a dog may be man's best friend, but a cat won't tell the police where you hide your drugs ...

                                    One rescue dog that was owner surrendered for killing cats. (Four?) months later she found a five week old kitten at the side of the road. After a little drama for a few days, I've had them for over four years. If you want to see them playing here's a FB vid: [Sophie and Kit Cat](https://www.facebook.com/david.oneil.1420/videos/2115103258524427/).

                                      After 20 years of no pets (it is cruel to have a pet in an apartment) we now have 2 black labs - huge time wasters.

                                          Pet rock, from the 70's. Doesn't eat much.

                                          If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                                          That's because (coming from the 70s) it is still stoned
