Guess What Kind Of Pet I and My Brothers Own?

[lynne]

I have a medium? haired cat (she's considered a short hair--but its the longest "short hair" I've ever seen!)

She looks and walks like the cat that Pepe La Pew chases after! She has 3 main passions in life -- men, chocolate and roses! (No she's not fed chocolate, but she will find it, wherever it is hidden!) If you have a mixed floral arrangment, she will pull out all the roses and walks around the house with them in between her teeth! Like Ms Don Juan Kitty!

She just loves our guests and personally (cattily?) greets each of our B&B guests. Sometimes she falls in love with a particular (and always male) guest. Then she sits outside his room and waits for hime to come out and play. If he should leave the house to hit the Alamo or Riverwalk, she sits at the glass front door and waits for him to come back. And when they check out, she's devastated!

She also has 2 male cats in the neighborhood that come to pay homage to the princess! She is fixed but these 2 always look in the windows, trying to find her! The one, "Ugly Cat" (honestly-the ugliest cat in the world!) puts his nose on one side of the glass, she puts her nose against his on her side, it's soooo cute! A kitty movie, yet to be filmed! The other cat (orange tabby, walks like a football player, no tail, missing one ear and is definitely all male) sits outside and meows until she comes to say hello. She runs up to the dooor, realizes it's not Ugly Cat and "gives him the tail". Then goes back to playing wuth the guests we so thoughtfully supply!

She sits on my head and "kneads" my temple when I have a headache. If you have a heating pad for some ache or whatever, she must have one too (or she'll steal yours!).

What can I say, she's my precocious teen!

(and not a little spoiled!)

I love your post, Lynne Your cat sounds like priscilla. They know they're beautiful and love to whip up on the boys. We have a neighboring ugly cat too, poor guy. First she'll whip up on him on our porch, and then attack him on his own. I have to keep a squirt bottle by the bed for her little 'middle of the night' jaunts. She won't take no for an answer either, but she doesn't stop to argue with the water bottle

My husband and I have two beagle puppies- Dudley and Bailey. They aren't unique, but arent' all puppies hilarious?

Like the time Bailey jumped off the couch into the window blinds because he was trying to see outside and he's too short to see out standing on his hind legs. I was outside with Dudley, and I heard this "thump".

Then there is the large amounts of time Dudley spends trying to find "that dog" that he sees in the reflection of the tv. He stares at it, and when it moves, he jumps to the left or right, trying to play with it.

We have a low maintainance pet rabbit called Snowball.He is still a novilty for our three girls.I'm am bored of him already.He is a white rabbit that the person from whom we got it called it an albino rabbit.I've also heard it called a meat rabbit .Anybody have any good rabbit recipes? .I don't think I could bring myself to butcher an animal Any of you cooks have that home farm country experience?

I grew up with so many pets. My mother grew free birds at home. Dogs eabbits, hamsters, ferrots, guini pigs(no cats my dad's allergic), ducks to name a few.(She's still angry at me every time i cook rabbits)

I don't have what it takes to grow pets the only one i have is a wild yeast colony named Aziza. I caught her two years ago on apple skins. She's wondeful. Obedeient. Useful. Usually clean, although once in a while she trashes my refreigrator.
She has two daughters - Anastasia(lives at my mother's place) and claudin(my sister got her).
Any other kind of pet is beyond me. I'm the kind of person who can kill a plastic plant.

well, by default, i inherited a cat. He is a big boy - 7.5 KG or 15 pounds,(i believe).

Likes his cockroaches, dust bunnies and confectionary snakes. Will also eat virtually anything, including what is onon his owners dinner plate.

Will trash/eat anything in a vase, can chew through a leather boot and can climb screen doors.

we have 2 cats (Mel after Mel Brooks who then became Mela mena because he had babies)
and Moonshine or moonie her son.
She is so shy and he is so dominate.

Years ago when we lived in Louisiana I had a fuzzy mini lop earred bunny who gave kisses, played ball and had run of the house and the back yard....this bunny was really smart!
I tolerated flopsy's digging in the cutting garden....amazing how she knew that the herb and veggie garden were off limits.

I love to hear about bunny love, Shroom. They really are very smart if you develop a relationship with them. Mine used to sit on my slippered feet while I did dishes, hang over the bath tub when I was soaking, (he loved a bath) and was himself very upset if I cried. (I had just lost a cousin in Viet Nam when I owned Baby.) He ran and played through our apartment with the kids and was litter trained. We all adored this bunny. One afternoon Baby was sunning on our third floor balconey when a sudden basketball landed with a loud crash. It scared him so much that he flipped over the balconey and was killed. We were devastated! Even my burly husband cried.

Oh man, that's a horrible ending to a sweet story...

I have always had bunnies as pets. I had one named Patches, when I was about 8 or 9. It was a nice day, so we took him outside. He was alone for an hour or so, and I came out to say hi to him. He had been stung to death by bees!

Pretty scary...

[Pastachef]

OMG, momoreg! That's horrible!!!

I am the proud father of 2 ferrets named Loki and Puck and the proud stepfather of 2 cats Billy and Annie. My female ferret, Loki, was named after the Norse god and Puck, my male, was named after the Shakespeare character. And they both live up to their names. They are so mischievious and are little theives to boot. Puck likes pens, boots, shoes, and just about anything else that catches his eye. He hides it all up under the couch, watched him once even try to get a whole broom underneath there. Very interesting watching a 1 foot long ferret try and carry a 4 foot long broom. LOL. Loki is into the more feminine stuff. She likes to steal my wife's lipstick, nail polish, and thread from her sewing machine.
Our cats are also crazy. Annie likes to chase, not her tail, but the shadow of her tail and likes to chase the light from my flashlight. Billy, is a big 15 pounder who I call fatboy. My wife thinks that I have given him a complex. But he is a lazy pathetic cat whose only job in life is to get petted and act pathetic to get petted even more. As for the interaction between cats and ferrets. Ferrets want to beat up the cats and the cats want to stay as far away from the ferrets as possible. Kind of funny watching a little 1 pound female ferret chase after a 15 pound male cat.

fatboy...

lol...
