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. :-)

Hey now, be kind. Ms Spinners is really nice. We've had a lot of nice chats, she's a web developer. :-\

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

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[^]

Two cats in the yard, and our house is a very fine house 😊

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.

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

to lose both looks like carelessness.

That's just adding insult to injury :( I've had some very bad weeks because of this incident. It's not like I want to lose them, but cats go outside and in my case get scared off by neighbor cats or whatever. Goblin was very social and I've kept him inside for for seven weeks, which should be enough for him to know it's his house and it's safe. He's been outside for a bit a couple of times before, which went well. In any case, I don't think his taking off was voluntary. And I'm starting to doubt if Pink's was, which went exactly the same (but after ten weeks)... :( Needless to say, my next cat won't be going outside in the first year or so and after that only with a GPS collar...
