Does anyone have any pets at home?

I have a one year old cat I adore. His name is Caffeine. He's a feral cat I got from Cat Rescue. He's the only cat I know that is clumsy. He's like me in a lot of ways. He hates high pitched or unexpected noises, is clumsy, doesn't like strangers, and has a hard time communicating. He's black and white all over. He has a green tower, a gray stepping tower, a dolphin toy, a Garfield food mat, a covered litter box, 18 mouse toys, two spinning toys, one egg toy, and three bags of catnip. He eats Indoor Cat Chow and 9 lives canned seafood cat food. He likes to play at night. His food bowl is pink and says 'cat'.

3 cats... who keep me from having pet rats. They're sweet cats though, well 2 of 'em at any rate. The third is bitter, crotchety, loopy, loud, sounds like a crow, and loves me (and only me) to pieces. Good thing I like the way a crow sounds.

I want to work/live with lots of animals... probably not as personal pets, but in some sort of group effort. My greatest dream pet-wise :glances self consciously to the left: is to learn how to care for ferrets.

Ferrets are the most beautiful and lovely pet animal I have ever heard of, if not even my favorite animal entirely! But grass is greener syndrom: my state makes ferrets illegal, and the valley I live in is too hot for them to survive. One day I will move and get involved in a local ferret shelter, and that will render some part of my life complete: as either I can't stand the squirmy bitey stinky little cuties, or I love 'em all to pieces. ^.^

Anyone on here have horses or pigs (two of my favorite animals besides dogs!)?

I used to have a cat named Baby and she was my everything, but she passed away when I was 15 and she was 21. I loved her to bits and still miss her.

We lost our other animals right around that time and for a long time had no animals at all. All of my AS symptoms got worse and worse. Finally, my little sister got a chocolate lab puppy for her birthday this spring. Lora (the dog) has made my symptoms less acute. She forces me to talk to people and stuff. My mum and my friends have been commenting on how much more normal I've seemed wince we got her. I think pets help aspies.

We have a wonderful Austalian Shepard named Trace. His breeder was in Vet school and was studying trace minerals and came up with his name. He was supposed to be put down because he has an overbite and his teeth are misaligned. We called in the nick of time and we agreed to spay him and not show him. In exchange we got a friendly, protective, lovable, playful friend and companion. As he grew his jaw also grew and he looks fine in the face. He has a blue merle coloring and those pretty blue-brown eyes. He instictively herds everyone he sees and tries to get us into the same room and in a circle. He will do this even to swimmers in the water. We call him the love patrol because if anyone hugs or kisses he whines and tries to get between them to break it up. He runs like a gazelle and can accelerate with amazing speed and can almost catch squirrels and rabbits. He howls along with my son's french horn and will talk back to you with an eerie mewling bark that must sound to him like we do when we talk. I can heartily recommend the Aussie to anyone who wants a great dog. My daughter has an American Shorthair cat with brown and grey striping. On her haunch is a circular patch that looks like a perfect oval. She sleeps wrapped up around her neck and will tolerate the most close-up hugging and kissing. We found her in the pound ready to be euthanized. I walked into the cat room and 45 kittens scattered into the corner except this one. She leaped onto a 55-gallon drum and stared me down. I reached out to hold her and we were friends for life. She was attacked by a hawk and was near death last year but the vets saved her with antibiotics and a 2 hour operation to clean and repair her wounds. She brings us voles, moles, mice, and an occasional songbird. She deposited a dead garter snake on the front steps and my wife almost had a heart attack. I reward her with a piece of Salmon each time and she keeps the garage and yard free of rodents, a small price to pay. Thats it but thats enough. Kenorri

I have dairy goats. You can see them here: wisdomsway.atypedigital.com

There are between 25-30 of them. I prefer goats to dogs or cats...the personality is closer to a cat though, they are independent and very intelligent. Goats are one of my special interests.

i have a 3-year-old (4 in 2 weeks!) puppy (sheltie) and a 2-year-old all black kitty.

I am Archmage. The furry four-legged members of my family are named Sonny, Sammie, and Jake, the latter being a dog, and the others cats. Jake is a Labrador/Chow mix, and is quite lovable, despite being on the lethargic side since the death of my dog Sarah (a Labrador/German Sheperd mix who was put to sleep for an incurable tumor in her leg).
As for my cats, Sonny is the oldest, a male Orange Tabby who has just recently stopped scratching me to an inch of my life whenever i turn a corner. . Then there's Sammie, a young female Siamese kitten with an attitude... a attitude. he does not scratch at all, but bites like heck! i have scabs and scars all over my hands from his teeth alone, even though my dad rescued him from abandonment from a gas station. There's gratitude for you!

This is my star-crossed tale...

"Little S**t" is the nickname for my cat, Sammie! Its nice to know that im not the only one who uses profanity!

I have 4 cats Pepper, Buffy, Willow, & Lizzie.
1 hamster- snoopy
1 frog - we call him the source of all evil because he ate all my fish
2 hermit crabs - Prue & Phoebe.

I've got 4 cats. We adopted the oldest 2, and the female one was pregnant when we adopted her. We kept 2 of the kittens and gave the other ones.
I love all of them. The old male is a very smart cat. He can open doors.
The other three are less clever, but they are brilliant at meowing. I like meowing with them.

Would you tel us about Millie? I'm curious personally, because I have a service dog too, but she's not the traditional sort. When we're out in public, I watch her a lot for cues that tell me better how to respond to people we come across. She seems to know perfectly who it's ok to say hi to, who not to approach, when to keep to ourselves, when it's ok to be casually sociable, etc. I don't read other peoples' "signals" or body language well and have, in the past, gotten into trouble when someone approached me with not-so-goood intentions or when I've unintentionally snubbed someone who was trying to be friendly who was ok to talk to. Does Millie have formal or informal training? Credentials? Wear an I.D. vest? Just curious....

I'm trying to figure what toys to buy Chico for Christmas. He's a very agressive chewer. However, he tends to baby his balls. I can buy him some more balls, but I don't know what else to buy him.

I have a Yellow Lab, she's a little slow . then I have a tabby cat, she doesnt like strangers. I have a torteishell. she loves people and is affectionate. Then I have a cockatiel that was my great-grandmothers before she passed away. He's at least twelve years old.

I had a ferret but i gave her away. Someone gave her to me because they couldn't keep her. I didnt want another ferret because I missed my older one that died last january. I couldnt let het out of her cage as much as she should be, so she would be bored and scratch the bottom of her cage, try and grab stuff off my shelf, scratched at the water bottle and just be a pain in the butt. she seems much happier in her new home

I would like to have something like a gerbil or a guinae pig, something I can play with, but don't have to be out of the cage five hours each day. Or maybe a scorpian or lizard.
Yeah right, Not as long as I live at my mom's house

I would love to have a pet, but my brother is allergic! Though he has emigrated to canada now.

I have a cat called Dude and a kitten with no name. The kitten is wild though as Dude was a little wild too when we first got her, now she is very affectionate.
