Do you have any pets?

[Posey]

What are they? Names, ages please!

I've got a ginger cat called Eric and he's nearly 10. Got him originally because we had mice in our last flat and despite the fact he never caught one (he's not very bright) he did "scare them away.

hello- this is my first ever mumsnet posting!
I've got 4 cats and two bunnies and a 6 mo DS (and a full house, and a garden that looks like a minefield!) DS thinks cats are the best thing ever, and stoopid tabby moggy sits there and purrs while he grabs handfuls of fur. am fairly sure his first word will be CAT!

Welcome Trude

No Freckle, just like loads of M'snetters, you sound so nice

How sweet of you to say so That now begs the question - are we nice, so we sign up to MN, or are we nice because we sign up to MN??

Currently have two rabbits - Alfie and Honey Bunny, 2 guinea pigs Basil and Chester (ds likes Linkin Park) and four goldfish - Brown, Rainbow, Smudge and Orange. Unfortunately we lost our lovely budgie Blue a few weeks ago - we will be looking for another after our holidays in June.

2 cats -

Alfie, skittish black british short hair rescued at approx 12 months, now almost 5 years old

Farley, hopelessly soppy black and white moggy mongrel, had from kitten (my Mum owned his mum). Born in Sept 1999, so now about 5 ish.

Love 'em to bits . Will try and post a link to a photo.

ROFL @ 'Jesus' the goat, Miggy !!!!!

2 Fantail Goldfish.... no names
1 Algae Eater.... no name

I've always kept lots of animals. At one point whilst living with my parents I had 27 pets..... okay 16 were fish, but I also had 5 dogs, 2 Rabbits, 2 Gerbils and 2 tortoise...

Oh and I never really counted the Stick Insects.
