Blind Cave Fish (Astyanax fasciatus mexicanus).
His name is Gallifrey. I don't have a picture of him, but he is slightly different from the one pictured as he is a deformed hunch-back.
He used to have 2 "brothers" - two normal Blind Cave fishes named Raincloud (who I rescued from a pet shop, where the staff were not even aware of what his species) and Da Vinci (bought with Gallifrey as a companion for Raincloud).
We had them for a couple of years until my mother, who owns the tank and usually feeds the fish went on holiday and didn't remind me to feed them while she was away (of
course, no-one else thought to remind me, either
). Da Vinci was dead by the time she returned, and Raincloud died a few weeks later after developing a strange red infectious lump on his side. 
(repentant self-abuse)And here are Katy and Jane, my mother's tortoiseshell cats:
I've shown these pictures before; they seem to be the only ones I have.
That bottom cat looks just like mine. He's got an attitude.

I have got two rabbits and a goldfish. Jenifer 'Jellybean' (yes, I nicked her nickname...) is a 7 year old Black and white Dutch rabbit. She is cheeky as heck, refuses to go up her ramp and demands that I lift her (she has done since she was a baby!) but when I have been sad in the past, she is always there to lick my tears away. She also loves a massage and especially eating my clothes... I'm not so fond of that trait...
Ralph 'Raoul' is a 9 month old black and white Lionhead/Dutch mixbreed. He's like Jenifer but with long hair. The other resident says he looks like Santa Claus. I adopted him because no one wanted him as 8 months is too old apparently. I think he's very cute though so I took him home. Although I have only had him a month, he is getting more confident, allowing me to stroke him. Yesterday he ran in circles with a carrot toy in his mouth! He's very funny.
Mr. Fry is my Goldfish. I named him Fry after the character off Futurama but added the Mr. as he is now 6 years old. That's quite old. I think it makes him sound dignified.
In addition, we have three fish downstairs which belong to the home. They don't have names so I call them Comet, Shubunkin and goldfish... I know real original, but no one seems to agree on names! We are currently 'renting' part of our garden out to another rabbit named Millie who is a silver Rex rabbit. Her owner is in the hospital and we are caring for her until he's ready to visit.
We are getting some silkie chickens eventually as well!

Oh my where to start! Puki (pookie)is the youngest of the cats, and he is in my avatar. Then there are Maudy (Maine Coon), Tina (black Oriental), Dixie (black and white "holstein"), Teddy and Feisty (both white with tabby spots), Five (swirly gray and brown tabby), Frannie (tabby/calico mix-odd!), Kookla (orange and white), Sunny (yellow tabby), Misty(black and white long hair), Baby Girl (brown and orange tabby). THere is also a lovely feral calico girl who lives under our house. SHe is Baby-girl's mama and Sunny and Misty's grandmother, so we call her "Gammi". I also have a dog named DeeDee.
Dee
Gammi (I could not get too close!)
Puki
Feeding time!
This is Puki when he was first found and brought to us. He was all alone by a dumpster- only two weeks old, no teeth yet. We bottle fed him and now he is so pretty and playful. He is such a stinker and totally spoiled now!
I have a bunch of recent photos that I have not uploaded yet, so I will have to go on it!

I had a dog, until I moved out of my parents home. I wasn't able to take him with me.
Here's an old pic of him.
His name's Barkley, he's a schipperke, he'll be turning 17 in May, I love him to death and miss having him around.
I'd like to get another pet some day. I think a cat would be a better choice than a dog (you don't have to worry about walking them or too much noise). I'd like a big fluffy cat to cuddle with, like a Siberian or a Maine Coon.

He is so cute.
I'm sad to hear, that you couldn't take him with you.
I hope you one day, can have a pet.

Snickers will be eleven years old in June, and he's a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog mix (don't know otherwise; maybe bulldog, judging by the way he stands at times, but it's impossible to be certain):

Brutus is the oldest cat at 18. He just came home from kidney stone surgery yesterday.

Jazz is about six or seven years old.
And Skunk (original name)/Admiral Ninja Booties (proper name) is also about six years old. He lives out in the barn.
