so how many have you got then?

[Titania]

just wondering if anyone is as mad as me?? how many animals have you got in your house then?

[novadandypowder]

3 cats, all from rescue home. They are our children and we take endless pictures of them and talk to people about them in a proud parent kind of way. Not sure how they will feel when real baby comes along in November though..

One Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and two cats in this house! And the Grubs, of course.

2 horses and a cat (used to be 2 but one died last year), and I chucked out a mouse from our living room yesterday, it popped out from behind the telly and jumped right over sleeping geriatric cat, cat didnt even wake up!

[triceratops]

When I was growing up I had
two white mice
seven gerbils
two guinea pigs and two rabbits
a dog
three cats
a horse
two calfs
two goats
a duck and six hens
etc etc etc

Now I have nothing. Not even a sea monkey. Pets are messy and hard work. I already have a child and I have that area of my life covered.

we have one cat. Plan on getting dd a pet next year when she's 3 hamster would have no chance with our cat. More likely to be a guinea pig or rabbit.

[Weatherwax]

2 Cats, 2 Tortoises, and the ashes of my old cat. I can't move and leave him behind so I don't scatter the ashes, I'm determined not to become so attached to the others!

[ThePrisoner]

Can we include all the pets we've had over the years who currently RIP in the garden?

[Janh]

DS2 has 2 gerbils and a corn snake but they are mostly looked after by me - he just "has" them.

[jampots]

1 rabbit - i persoanlly dont like animals

[fatmomma]

1 noisy German Shepherd bitch called Jess and 1 very serene goldfish called Billy. My dh won the fish at a fairground a few months after we got together - it's his tenth birthday soon (fish not dh!!).

Our house is a magnet for wild animals and we often have weird and wonderful visitors. In our living room we have had:

1 pipistrel bat
1 young rook
1 slow worm (a type of legless lizard)
1 wood mouse (very cute )
and I've lost count of how many baby frogs!
Plus the whole house is full of butterflies in the summer, in fact we have named it Butterfly Cottage.

Must be built on some sort of animal ley lines!!

33 what?

[ogri]

33 at the moment

[Linnet]

we used to have a budgie, which wasn't actually ours to start off with. It was my brothers but mum looked after it then mum died and my grandparents took it, but granny became allergic to it so we ended up with it.

It was a daft budgie we had it for 10 years and not once did it come out of it's cage to fly around, I think it was agrophobic, used to have big flapping tantrums and drive everybody mad. He went to meet his maker last year and now we have no pets.

Wouldn't mind a cat one day though, maybe once dd2 is a bit older.
when I was younger I had hamsters and my brother had goldfish first one was named Jaws and they followed in succession up to Jaws 10.

[jayzmummy]

One dog, one cat, two rats, two rabbits (one of which is about to give birth)and three fish.

[suzi2]

1 darling cat. My current baby. Couldn't be without him. DH knows that I'd choose the cat over him!

One husband, three hormonal teenagers and a few cats - all available for re-homing at no extra charge
