Do you currently have an animal living in the household? What's kind is it and what's it's name?

I currently have a cat named Chester (yes, i'm a Linkin park fan) and he's really in love with my computer. Probably more in love with it than in love with me. :)
 
lol, my family is crazy. But luckily they came potty trained. :D
And a paperclip as a pet? Boy...that must have been fun, didn't have to teach it any tricks did you? :)
 
He knew lots of tricks. Unfortunately he was also really really small...but if I carried him to and from the mailbox he'd bite(fetch) the mail for me, and he landed on the side no matter how he was thrown...
 
did you also have a pet rock? :D

i have one dog: black lab named bonie
um she is about 12 (not too many years left :( )
 
4 Cats

Isis - 7
Onyx - 6
Haley - 6
Raksha - 1

Isis is the Alpha female, and the smallest
Onyx is the "fox" he really does have a fox face. Long nose, slinky body.
Haley "the blimp" She's always dehydrated for some reason the vet can't understand, so she gets bloated. (I thought bloating was from water retention, but apparently one can become bloated from being dehydrated too)
Raksha "the freak" This cat is one of the only animals I've met that I can't get along with. The thing sees me and runs. I shouldn't take it personal 'cause when the damn thing sees it's own reflection it becomes a neurotic mess and starts running into walls. Needless to say I wouldn't mind if she happened to find herself in the microwave one day. Of course, her owner deciding to name her after the Rakshasa of D&D fame doesn't help. A Raksasa in D&D is an exceedingly evil cat like humanoid who takes nothing but pleasure in the pain and suffering of others. Great name for a cat with psychotic tendencies. I'm just waiting for her to come in to my bedroom looking like this...
 
What?! No Llama's yet?! :p

I sure wouldn't mind having twyg's current household of pets. :)
 
I have lots of little friends living with me. I can't provide an exact number, because I only see them at night crawling around the counters and on the kitchen floor. How do you name a cock roach? Sally, Beth, Barb, Joe, Tim, Igor, Litmus (I haven't seen any YET that change color), Shy (they don't like the light), Bashful (ditto), Fraidie-cat (double ditto)? Squash (what I do to them)? Squish? I dunno, never had to think about it until now...

Of course, I really don't have cock roaches living with me, eh..hem...yeah, riiiiiight.

You're probably thinking "eeew, this is soooo gross", and you should be!
 
2 cats.

1 massive 17lb barn cat that we got from a farm named Benny. About 5 years old.
1 small little Toncanese(Siamese, Burmese cross) named Sid. About 7 months old.

Here's some pics of them:

Those cats look amazing devonferns. Did you pay a lot for them?
Also: we can add a snake to my list. I just went out and bought one about 3 hours ago. It's a babby boa, if I ever get my hands on a digital camera I'll take pictures.

Congratulations, Trip. Boas are wonderful animals. I had a gorgeous red tail for many years. I would get another, but I can't stand feeding them. One thing I loved to do for her was to fill the bathtub and let her swim around in there. She loved it.

Thanks Trip.

Benny(the barn cat) was free, and Sid(toncanese) was only $100 Canadian.
But they cost a fortune in food :p

I love snakes as well. I've had a few of them. I've had a rough skinned green snake(from Florida), some kind of King snake(I think) that I caught near my house, and a few garter snakes as well.
 
Nope, I've lived in a small town for about 12 years, and I used to live in Mississauga. But, there are a lot of farms around here, like the one that we got our cat from. Also, I've worked on a few farms as part time work, but that's about it. :p

The garter snakes I caught in the woods near my house. The king snake I caught when I was fishing and they were crawling through the weeds. I think they must have just hatched a few days before I caught the one because there were about 3 of them in the same area, and they were really small.

The king snake liked to eat small newts that I found in a dead log in a forest.

I didn't keep it long enough to have it eating mice, and I didn't feed it pinky mice either.:)
 
You're missing out man! It's cool to watch my snake wrap around the rat and squeeze it to death, then consume it. It's also cool that it only eats once a week. :)

Snakes are probably the cheapest animal to keep. Unlike my cat who eats every 3 hours. :)
 
I know, I wish I could get one, but my parents don't want me to get any more. They especially don't want any that get as big as a boa or a python.

I think I'll get one as soon as I move out of my parents house though. I'll probably get a Rosy Boa or something.

Maybe a carpet python. They are supposed to be really tame, and don't get too huge. :D
