I have 3 cats: Star, Autumn, and Dusty; one dog, Rex; and one bird named Rio. These are actually family pets, not all mine. Only Star is my cat. She's my homie dog... ughumm...I mean cat. How many and what kind of pets do you have and what are their names?

I only have one cat. His name is Sleepy. We got him from the animal shelter. They called him Sleepy Face, but we just call him Sleepy. We had both dogs and cats when our children were small, but a cat seems to fit our living style best now that we are senior citizens.

You're right. He mainly eats and sleeps. He does have to have his play time, but that is very short. He is the most affectionate cat we've ever had.
When he decides he wants attention and we're ignoring him, he will bite one of our legs, just enough to make sure he has our attention. If it is my husband's leg that he bites, he'll get more attention than he wants.

Yeah. cats are a lot less rowdy than dogs. I guess I don't have to ask why his name is Sleepy.

Gumby is the cat, but he came with his name when i adopted him. since he was 8, i didnt want to change his name and confuse him. so i gave him a middle name. Gumby D'Arcy.

Cool. I grew up on a farm and at largest count we had 12 cats and 4 dogs!!! (well there were 5 of us kids, so all works out)!! But right now I have 3 cats (Tucker, Tiger and Spenser) and we are co-caring for a teeny baby kitty, Squeaker, right now!! Mine are all mixed breeds!! We hope to have a Pug puppy by the end of the year (I love those dogs and a friend's dog just had puppies... wish us ALL luck).

That's amazing! I couldn't imagine taking care of so many animals, but I'm sure it was a lot of fun. I love the name Sqeaker. So cute! I hope you get your pug. Good luck.

I have one furangel. Her name is Mija (mee-hah). She is a 4 1/2 year old black American Shorthair. In fact, she'll be 5 on December 9th. Every year I have a birthday party for her where I invite friends and she makes out like a bandit! LOL!

P.S. I couldn't help noticing your avatar. By any chance are you into horror movies? I love horror movies myself.

Well I have one turtle her name is Kat. Weird name yes I know, but she got that name from her personality. She is basically a scaredy cat when people come around. I have a 4 month old Tabby Kitten and her name is Alexia, and she is quite a handful. She likes to play and get into a lot of things. I adopted her from the animal shelter. And then I have a tank full of fish. I started off with 2 and then they multiplied to like maybe 20 never sat down and counted them. I don't have any names for them, there are just to many for me to name.

That is a ton of fish. Someday I want to get a fish tank. Turtles are way cool and that is a weird name, but I've heard weirder. Well good luck to you and your awesome pets! Have a great day.

Awesome! That's cool that you named your fish. Hardly anyone names fish and I think they deserve names. Well have a fantastic day with many smileys and bubble pixies. (I don't know what the heck I'm talking about ok)

Oh you have a ranch. That's cool. It would be so fun to have the room to be able to have that many animals. Oh and I really like the names by the way. Well have a great day.

I have 4 dogs. Two teacup yorkshire terries Snickers and Gizmo; also 2 toy poodles Smokey and Tigger. We are a happy family of 6. We consider them our kids. They are spoiled more than I would like to admit sometimes. All are great with the kids in our extended family. However, they perfer to just be snuggled and play ball. :) Right now they are all sacked out. Two are cuddling and 2 are staying cool by the air conditioner. :) We are having a lazy Sunday. I would not trade them in for the world though. I love kids in general, but glad that mine are the 4 legged kind. :)

Yeah. I'd say that's a zoo. It's probably a lot of work to take care of them all, but I'm sure they're worth it. Good luck and have a great day!

So cute! I just love cats! I used to have a pet rabbit also. They are also great. I will probably post some more pics of my cat.

We have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a handful of fishies. The fish don't have any names, we are actually thinking about getting some lizards or turtles instead of the fish. Then we have Trixie and Kia as our kitties and Tucker is our dog. I want to get 2 more cats and another dog, but with where we live we arn't allowed to have anymore "big" animals than we already do :( If we could ever afford it me and my husband would open an animal rescue shelther...we love animals :D

I think it would be totally awesome to have lizards. I've always wanted some myself. That would be amazing to open a rescue shelter. I hope some day you get the chance!

Currently I have one cat, Hudson.
However, family wise (pets I share ownership of) There's 2 more cats: Valentine and Cleo. 2 Dogs: Beau and Hershey. 1 horse, Star. 1 mule, Buddy. 1 donkey, Pepper.
Yes, my folks live out in a rural area. LOL. Technically, Star is mine too, but I can't keep her in Denver, where I live, so she's with my folks.

Hey that's cool. My cat is also named Star and I used to have a cat named Pepper as well. I guess they are pretty common names, but it's still a funny coincidence. Have a smiley day!

Right now, I only have 5 pets. Normally, I have more than that, but my two foster pets (guinea pigs) just got adopted.
I have 2 rabbits (Sunny, age 13, and Floppy, only about 2-3 years old probably). Both were rescues. One from someone leaving for college (Sunny) and the other (Floppy) found roaming around outside after someone got evicted and dumped her outside.
And then I've got 3 zebra finches as well. Also rescues. A couple from an office building that didn't know how messy they'd be and one from the humane society.

Only 5 huh? That's cool that you saved them. I've had 5 cats in my life and all of them were strays. I think that it is very important to help homless animals because they can't help themselves. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

What a cute name. I've never heard that one before. But is it a boy or girl?

I have one Toy Poodle named Prince. He's more than enough. He's really playful and requires a lot of attention. He's the only pet I have right now. Maybe in a couple of years I may get another dog. I'm thinking of maybe getting fish.

Small dogs always need to be pampered. So cute! I think fish would be a wise choice if you get any other animals since they are so easy to take care of.

One dog and one cat here. I am hoping to get another dog when I move into a house. No more cats for me though!! Don't know how you do it with three of them! One day I'd like to get a tortoise or a gecko, but only once my daughter gets older and can learn to take care of them.

I think cats are pretty easy. Dogs are the challenge. I think it would be have fun to have a tortoise or a gecko. Totally awesome. Laters.
