Two dogs, a Shi-tzu named Zeus and a Puggle named Ares.

I've also had 2 mice, 2 rats, and 2 hamsters.

We have multiple 'what pets do you own?' threads out there. A dime a dozen.

But anyway:

I have four cats (soon to be three, what with the fourth having kidney failure), one dog, and four geckos. The dog recently got back from the vet with some bone growth in both elbows that's likely genetic. He's eight years old, so I'm not surprised by finding weird things to throw medication at.

A cat and a chinchilla named "lunch"?

Kind of ironic, don't you think?

Anyway, I have two black labs, one named Sparky, the other namer Riley.

I also have 7 stray kittens under my back porch (I named all of them fluffy) and then I have my two house-bred cats named Tuxedo and Scrat.

That's one well groomed kitteh from the looks of the pictures. Love, animal expertise or both? Either way, awesome pics :)

OT: Nothing atm sadly, in too small a flat for a pet (60 square meters). Used to have a dog and a cat (not at the same time) in our old flat (110/120 square meters, they had a lot more room there), kinda miss not having an animal around anymore, hoping to get one someday, but I know it's not likely to be any time soon :(

Got a Ragdoll, bred to be as cute as possible.
Don't have a picture of her on the computer, but this cat looks a lot like her.

No, he manages it all himself. Although he doesn't really have the hectic schedule of other cats. So he's got plenty of time to indulge, as it were.

It's sad you haven't got any pets now, having a pet in the house always makes the place feel more alive or a bit more organic.

Impressive, he reminds me of my friend's cat, but she's works with animals (used to do it for a living), so I figured you shared the same skills :p

And I know, it sucks arse. But aside from knowing my mom would get really pissed at having an animal in the house again (she loved both the dog and the cat, but they were my brother's pets and she always ended up taking care of them; that plus neither of them was sterilized and I'm sure you're aware of the effects of that, particularly with the cat), I know the animals themselves, particularly the cat which I'd prefer to have, would feel way too trapped in an apartment this small.

I said goodbye to my dog in September. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.312228-Farewell-A-thread-about-pet-deaths-and-the-celebration-of-life#12639989]

I likely won't have another pet for some time.

7 cats and 2 rats: Donnie, Miko, Sheldon, Loki, Mort, Friggen, Timmy, Axel and Croix.

It's a handful taking care of all the cats since they don't all get along. I only adopted 2, the rest just fell into my lap and I couldn't turn them away.
