Cats seem to find me, even if I'm not looking for them.

We have seven snakes (3 ball pythons, 1 blood python, 1 burmese python, 1 carpet python, 1 leucistic texas rat snake) and a leopard gecko. I hear we will be getting a turtle next week, so I will be adding one of those to my list soon enough... never had a turtle before... should be interesting...

2 cats, 1 dog. (Cats at Mom's house, dog at Dad's.)
There were 3 cats, but one of them is now living with my Mom's ex-partner.

My cat chose me when we were both little. Mum and I were just picking up the dog from the vet and she grabbed me through the cage and wouldn't stop screaming so I took her home. She's been my best friend now for 16 years.

I don't own pets - I share my life with companion animals (three cats and two rats).

I have an ancient cocker spaniel, but consider myself a cat person because until my last cat died, I had never gone more than a year without cats in my life.

When the dog passes, she will be my last pet because of allergy problems. I do plan to continue socializing animals in shelters now and then (after taking meds in advance) but being on various antihistamines on a regular basis is rather wearying.

I have 3 cats and a Labrador Retriever. I wouldn't say I own them though, it might be more appropriate to say they own me, especially the cats. But I let them walk all over me (sometimes literally) because they're adorable and this time of year they're a lot warmer than blankets. :lol:

I don't own any pets, I don't know why my family never bought any pets. My uncle owns a dog but I rarely see him.

I have a rat terrier named Josie. Her feet smell like popcorn. She is 7 years old.
