I'm a lightweight in the other pets department. I have Buster, the world's smartest cat, and 5 American parakeets, or budgies.

Oh, and I bought a betta fish for Amazon the iguana cuz he couldn't take his eyes off it when I took him to the pet store to meet the folks who work there. But that's my pet's pet, not mine. ;)

Haha, cute Eyespy! I have 5 male bettas (with a couple of tadpole snails), 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 1 "Pygmy" Cory Catfish (just got it last night!), 1 Rosehair tarantula, 2 mice (one's the size of a hamster, though!), 2 cats and 1 dog (Cocker/Springer Spaniel mix who thinks she's part human, part cat!). Now my list of what I <i>want</i>, that's a bit longer!

I've got an exotic shorthair cat who's a crazy goof. He's a mix between a british shorthair and a persian.. he got the flatter face of the persian, the short hair of the british and none of the regular eye problems that come with persians! Right now he's busy looking out the window watching the chickadees tease the squirrels that are trying to get up the bird feeder..

(Hey does anyone else have one of those "Squirrel bafflers"? it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen, it's quite hilarious.)

One of my cats likes to steal food too. He stole a steak off my plate once when i wasn't looking and was also caught eating out of katey's cerial bowl.

01-17-03, 08:48 PM
Haha, Lisa, yea... I guess they like the milk, but it's still really annoying when you get up to get a drink and your cat's eating your bowl of kraft dinner! It especially sucks when you're so hungry and it's all nice and hot and when you come back you don't know where he's eaten/licked so you gotta throw away the whole top layer... grrr!

Anyway here's my cat:

gee I dont want to offend all my fellow ssnakess members.... but I *hate* hairy animals! All I have ever kept is fish & reptiles (not counting feeders of course). I once lived with a girl who had ferrets... ugh! horrible creatures! I always (jokingly) threatened to feed them to a snake! LOL (Don't get all uptight... I never would have! They could have hurt my snake)

I love all animals and will have as many as I can squeeze into my place and can take care of! Here are some pics of my fuzzy pets:

Bobby (he's the same guy as in my avatar):
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/bobby05.jpg

Nothing but the best for this little guy!!! I've tried numerous times explaining to him that he's a dog but he just won't accept it! To the point that he wants his own chair at the kitchen table!
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/bobby24.jpg

This is Bobby (in the back) with Mathilda, a foster dog I had for about 5 months. She was such a sweetie and a cutie but the both of them raised hell ALL the time!!! This was one VERY rare moment that they were being nice and quiet :)
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/Pets_001.jpg

This is Bobby and Captain taking a snooze:
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/bobbycapitaine03.jpg

This is Captain, a retired greyhound racer. He raced for 5 years and has since then very well aclimated to his retirement!:
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/capitaine06.jpg

He's such a sweetie and sooo quiet! He does this thing where his tongue sticks out the side of his mouth. This is the only time I've been able to capture it in a pic, I'm still trying for better shots. He does this pretty often and it always fakes me laugh cause he looks like a real doofus!
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Chiens%20&%20Tattoos/capitaine05.jpg

Here's my Charlotte (I'll take any excuse to show her off :)!) I love this pic cause you can see her eyes... Creepy!!!
http://pixie.magazoo.com/Charlotte-Mygale/charlotte09.jpg

I also have a bunch of mice but I haven't taken pics of them, they're mostly food so I don't see the need for it. Maybe I'll take pics of the breeders one day.

lol@ brig.

I have a special needs cockatiel. He was born deformed and his feet are mangled. :( But he is a sweetheart.
I used to keep other furry pets...hamsters, hedgehogs, mice, a giunea pig, and a pug dog. But when they passed on I didn't get anymore. Maybe some day I will get another furry. Thinking of a ferrot or a rabbit, but I will have to have more time than I do now before I consider it.

01-18-03, 06:43 PM
hmm ok lets see there's

Ashes, a neuter 7yr old cat [stolen by my parents!]
Howard, a neuter 3 yr old cat [seems to have been stolen as well, still in hostage negotiations]

1.1 Gerbils [Storm is sandy beige and Snow is white] we feed their babies

1.1 Rats [Tan the male and Lucky the female] feed their babies
0.4 other breeder female rats that aren't really pets as they will get fed off as they get older and litter # decline

Then of course our snakes, and geckos.

In April, we will have 1.0 shepard[or lab]Xhusky and 0.1 Jack Russell Terrier.

I think that's it..

The only food my Buster will steal out of my hand is when I'm eating a peanut butter sandwich. The idiot savant loves to take a bite out of the other side right when I am biting my side to watch me freak out!

Never steals anything else but begs for everything!

He has no teeth, one eye basically (totally blind in the closed one) terrible arthritis and is a total nut job (really, he growls at noises even when HE makes them)
