Everyones Pet(s).

[Gikoku]

We have 2 cats, an orange tabby named Buddy and a tuxedo cat named Hobbes... yes, his name is really Hobbes. Buddy is 1½ years old, and Hobbes is a month older than him. Unlike the other 2 cats we got before Hobbes, Buddy and him got along well within a couple of days and they love to play tag and wrestle with each other during the day and night (typically after midnight), things often get knocked over and or damaged around those hours.

Had a bad moment with Buddy last year though where he almost died from an accidental head injury and they were going to put him down because the vets didn't think he would pull through, but I told them I didn't want to. They said he would probably be able to make it if he was carefully nursed at home (we didn't have enough money to continue medical treatment at the hospital). He was temporarily blind in one eye for a few months after the accident, and I nursed him back to health. Having to hand-feed him and carry him to the bathroom (had brain trauma and was unable to walk for a week), eventually he got better and is 100% healthy again.. looking at him now, you'd never be able to tell that he was once sitting on his death bed.

Here's some pictures of them.
(click thumbnails)


One thing I love about Buddy is that if you stare at him long enough (10-15 seconds), he'll meow at you in a "What?" manner, if you continue to do so then he'll continue to respond that way until he eventually purs and rolls onto his back, works just about everytime. Some people tell us they look like Sylvester & Garfield. :lol:

Hobbes is cute. I like the BIG EYES in the third picture.

@Hobbe, it was still in the tank, it was a small leak.

I just found some more pictures of my dog in our backyard.

And yes, that is a replica of her in the third picture. My parents found it at a flea market and painted it to look like her.

I have a cat named Peter.

I've never known an aggressive staffy.

You want to try the ones in Staffordshire...evil little beggars...

I used to have quite a few pets when I was younger and Steve's "dog" was with us until earlier this year and then we had it put down.

I was distraught.

Really.

No, honestly, I could not have been more gutted if someone had told me it was going to be my 21st birthday all over again.

Tears were running down my face and everything

Spoiler

tears of joy, that is

I have 2 cats, buttons and cleo (buttons due to spot down her belly looking like a buttoned up jacket as a kitten, and cleo because she looked just like the kitten in the pinocchio film; unfortunately we got the fish and the kittens names confused, and only discovered so about a year later).

I have some tropical fish, and some pond fish, not named though.

And until recently I had some birds of prey; my barn owl, bonnie, died a couple of years ago; and my american red tailed buzzard, rufus (named from bill and ted), died 6 months ago.

Girlfriend (actually now my fiancee) has a hamster called Eva (named after Wall-E)

Aren't all the dogs in Staffordshire Staffys?

our cat Bo. 11 years old. doesn't afraid of anything, not even the vacuum cleaner.
he just sits in a comfy spot all day and ignores anything that isn't feeding him or petting him. he outlived our golden retriever already, and he's still going strong. we got him as a rescue when he was 1.

Spoiler

our older dog Daisy.
we think she's half flat coat half border collie... there were a bunch of strays like her running around in Georgia (some douche no doubt just mating and turning loose). she was a stray at her youngest age before she was picked up by animal patrol. she was going to be euthanized until she got taken by this place called the "Animal Orphanage" in Jersey which is where we got her. she's a nervous dog but she literally just looks at you like in the picture all day. she'll melt in your lap if you let her. only downside is she's a nervous dog... she barks and acts threatening towards people and dogs she doesn't know to see if they'll react agressively. in a nutshell she's loud but harmless.

Spoiler

our most recent new pet...Penny.
we got her as a purebred english shephard on a farm and i can't stand her. she just yaps all day, nibbles and fake bites people, dominates daisy, and terrorizes the cat. i don't know how else to say it, i ****ing hate this dog. i can't leave anything in the kitchen cause she'll destroy it, and i can't make her feel remorse for it. she'll just bark and nibble at me.

I absolutely love cats but Steve thinks they are pointless. So we can't have one.

He reckons when the youngest of our children is old enough, we're getting another dog. I'd rather eat slugs than have another mangy hound in our house whose care invariably ends up falling solely to me - so in the interests of self-preservation I guess I'll just have to keep reproducing children until Steve gets fed up of the idea.

I'm going to regret this...

On the one hand - 30+ children that will be with you for the rest of your life.

On the other hand - one dog that will die after 10 years.

I have to say, I'm with Steve on this one.

 

[Angel]

Yeah, except the last dog lived 5 years over her breed limit. I am NOT doing that again. At least with children they (sort of) grow up and leave. Dogs reach the mental age of a very naughty 3 year old and stay that way.

 

[Purple Nurple]

I have loads of pets. My first pet is a cat called Sebastian, named so because before we got him (he's around 7 years old) my little sister was watching Sailor Moon and the cats in that show are called Archibald and something else. I thought Archibald was taking the Sailor Moon obsession too far, so I suggested Sebastian as an alternative, and it stuck.

Spoiler

My other pets are people that were in the chat earlier that I have turned into pokemon.
I'm srs, I worked my voodoo skills.
These are them all at the moment (come into chat and I'll immortalise you as a pokemon)

The first person I turned into a pokemon was JohnDoe. He is badassand knows Bubblebeam (not IRL lulz, that's silly). ****s unreal, yo.

So did I :|

 

[The Rh Factor]

I have a dog named Chance that's a pit bull mix. I think he may be part boxer too, based on his appearance, but I'm not sure. People are generally afraid of him because of the negative stereotypes about pit bulls, but he's the biggest baby EVER! He loves people and thinks he's a 60-pound lap dog. I also have 2 cats, both of which are all black, named Zack and Crookshanks (like Hermione's cat in Harry Potter, but I call her Crooksie).

I don't have any pics of the cats, but here are two of Chance...

Are you talking about the Animal Orphanage in Lindenwold, NJ? Like, 20 minutes outside of Philadlelphia? If you are, I seriously live about 3 miles from there!!
