How many pets do you have?

[Oodlesofdoodlescockapoodles]

And what are they? Just curious really :) I'm a big animal lover but my partner is less keen, I'd definitely have more!

We have previously had guinea pigs and hamsters, sadly all died now.

Still have a staffy and a whippet (and would like another whippet or greyhound!)

Anyone got an unusual pets or breeds?

1 dog, 1 cat, 1 bird, 1 tortoise!

We have four indoor cats. They range from 6-14 years old. All of them cosseted and adored.

My son loves reptiles so we have one Bearded Dragon, four tarantulas, one cornsnake. Also share our home with a beautiful lurcher, and two very loving and affectionate cats.

.. and a partridge in a pear tree..:)

@cobblers123 what has he done?? 😱

Where do I start? Oh yes, he's very noisy, messy, sheds fur everywhere, is a nightmare to try and do the flea and worm treatment, (I'm actually scared of him to be honest), he's clawed my leather sofas and ruined them, scratched the kitchen door where he is shut in over night as he is so disruptive if you don't.

He also swears and growls at me if I come in late at night and don't immediately put the light on, he doesn't seem to realise it's me!

He's also ruined clothes and keeps digging loads of holes in my garden because one hole is never enough when you want a pee or a poo.

Then there's his food. I've run out of energy trying to find something he will eat and stay with. Currently we are on Little Big Paw pate style as he doesn't have all his teeth. Eats it all one day, next day might eat it, day after meh! Won't touch it.!

He's worn me down over the nearly eight years I've had him so much as I always loved having cats, he's been the straw that has broken the camel's (my) back.

He is very affectionate though.

Hmmmmm…

There is one house rule here; FADDIES DO NOT EAT. My pension is over stretched anyway and I knowhow manipulative cats can be. So you eat what you are given here; a good basic tinned cat food. Oh and a raw chicken joint, bone and all, most days.. Occasional black looks, then when I am not watching, they wolf the tinned food. One exception is the little part-Oriental. She was skeletal when she came and would not touch the food. It was the same food the rescue had been using. She loves the raw chicken and I supplement with a good kibble. She is the only one to get kibble as I don't use it else. She has filled out well, as have all the others. Happy healthy cats.

I lot, I own an animal encounter and education business. I do some breeding of animals of specific reptiles.I have snakes, geckos, lizards, birds, fish, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, a tortoise, stick insects, snails, etc... we get a lot of rescues too.

Three black rescue cats and a tan and white beagle!
