Do You Have Pets?

I love to hear about people's pets. I used to be a pet sitter and dog walker. But I've also had some pets of my own. I have a cat right now. He's been with us for a little over 10 years. I found him while on the job, pet sitting as a matter of fact. He's the first cat I've had living on my own. Although I fed one stray years ago, he wouldn't stay in my apartment, other than to eat and nap. Afterward he'd be on his way. I've had other pets too, including, dogs, rats and gerbils. What sort of pets do you have?

What a pretty tuxedo cat. I can't have pets anymore. I have one son with two dogs and another with two cats. None of them would live if they all came to visit at the same time! Growls and hissing! However, I do get to babysit one son's cat for 8 months. We adore that cat. His name is Doodles.

I've got a puppy. We haven't had her that longs. She came to us as a rescue and we rescued her from somebody that said she and her bros and sisters were dropped off in Duffield, VA. We took her in feeling sorry for her. So, here is her pic!

Oliver
I've had a little cat rescue for the last 12 years, didn't plan on having a rescue, just sort of happened. This is Oliver, he's the kitten in my avatar and he's 10 and a half-ish now. I have more cats, and the roomie and I share 3 dogs, she also has an elderly hamster.

I don't have a pet at all at the moment as my husband and I travel a lot, and it wouldn't be fair. We used to have a dog, and I love all animals.

Yeah, it's stressful for them when you're not there a lot. I used to stay with dogs when their humans would be out of town. But that's expensive and if you're always never home, I agree, it's not fair.

Four cats of my own, plus a foster. Oreo is 10, and adopted us. Jason was a foster kitten and so was Luna. KitKat was at the adoption center too long, and she convinced me to bring her home. And Sassy was being fed by a friend of a friend who had to move, so I'm trying to find her a home through the rescue.

I don't have pets and I don't think I can have one soon.

I have had dogs, salt and fresh water fish and just a few years ago I had 21 birds in my apartment but that's another discussion! Due to my COPD I can't have any pets with feathers and/or hair so no more pets for me.

Two domestic short-haired senior adult male cats, both brothers named Marshall and Wiley. I hope to post an old pic someday here real soon.

He is gorgeous @AuraGael . I had one that looked similar "Tosha". I now have 12 indoor and 2 outdoor cats and 3 donkeys. Plus I take care of 1 feral and one that got abandoned up at a mobile home up my road.

I have two older cats (14 and 13). I have, at one point, had one dog and six cats, some of whom I was keeping while people were out of the country for a year, so they were not all "mine." But they were all in my house! I love animals.
