What is your favourite thing about owning pets? For me I really like to watch their behaviour and I like to see how it changes over time as they become more tame.

What pets do you have?

I used to have dogs, but that was a long time back now.
Good company, fun to be with and loyal/devoted too, unconditional love.
Not sure if I would do it all again, maybe a different animal that is less dependent.

2 Guinea pigs.
2 Corn snakes.
1 California Kingsnake.
1 Royal(ball) Python.
1 Western Hognose (who is evil)
and 1 Crested Gecko.

I am thinking about getting some Budgies too.

They're an infinite source of entertainment.
They give you unconditional love.
They're your best friend when you really need one.

I've had two dogs as a kid but they were more my dad's(had em at different times).
I've had a guinea pig as a kid.
I've had a chinchilla in my 20s.
I've had a couple cats cuz my girlfriend had them(she had one but got another one after she died).
I got a guinea pig after my chinchilla died.
We've had a rabbit for 3 months.
I have no pets now thou except for my girlfriend's cat.
I may get another chinchilla soon thou. Someone is planning to move & may give me hers. The chin is sill fairly young. I would really like a dog too but that'll be more complicated with our living situations rite now.

I think one of my favorite things about pets is their company. I like talking to them, petting them & spending time with them.

I have had five dogs and, I estimate, between housecats and feral cats, more than 20 cats in my lifetime.

Yes, they are, Dylan. I loved to pet my cats and hear them purr.

i have one very cute cat, i love to watch her behavior and personality. i wish i had more so i could compare their personalities, at my parents' house we have two cats and three dogs, it's very nice to see how all of them are so different.

my cat, Kiwi, is very tidy – she even organize her toys, i find it so amusing. she is very cuddly sometimes, and i love when she purrs and when she sleeps near me.
