I have 5 cats. I found 3 of them over time, abandoned in my old neighborhood. One of the two oldest is my avatar & she & her sister were abandoned at the Vet's office by a man who was moving in with his girlfriend who didn't like cats; he had raised them from kittens until they were 6 yrs old! I brought them home & then, every year after that, I found another cat! I almost had seven before I moved, but one had to be put down due to advanced renal failure shortly after I found him & the other stray was too sly to let me catch him, darn it. I kept returning to the house to feed him. Thank goodness, no one abandons animals where I currently live! less

Ha i know you and i have talked about this before, but goodness, sometimes i think it's better that i'm unable to catch some cats because i'd probably come home with a new friend on the regular.
Currently i am living with one dog who is a Shepard mix, and four cats. Two of the cats are mine, though one is in his double digets while the other just had his second birthday, and my mother has a cat of her own. The fourth cat is actually belongs to a close friend who was unable to keep him when she moved back home so we offered to foster him until she was able to take him back. He's a great addition to the family though and loves to play with my kitten.
I'd really like to get a ferret or another dog. i just cant right now. less

The vet bills, just for routine upkeep, not even considering the surprise stuff, are so expensive! I don't know how people afford more pets than we have! Okay, I know how I afford it, my father foots the bill, God bless him! Without my cats, I'd have no reason to get out of bed in the morning. They are the key to maintaining what little mental health I have left! less

My mom has worked at a vet's office most of my life, so we've always had a lot of pets. Right now we own 4 dogs (1 corgi, 1 chocolate lab, 1 random mix that I'm not sure of, and 1 American bulldog/pit bull mix) 2 cats, 1 hermit crab and 1 beta fish.

I really want to get some pet ferrets again, we had some when I was younger. But my mom is afraid if one got out that our dogs would kill it.

How many pets do you own? What are they? Are they any that you wish you could have? less
