I have a cat named Fabio. I didn't name him (although I find his name hilarious), and I adopted him when he was fully grown. He's got long fur and he's...big-boned. People are usually surprised when they see him because he is bigger than the average house cat. He's very playful and loves to cuddle. If he sees a flashlight or a laser pointer, he will go crazy trying to chase it. And, if I can get the picture to show, you'll see that he sleeps in weird positions.
My great history of pets!
I grew up with two cats. Mosey and Felix.
Mosey was the cutest cat ever. Black, with a bit of white on the tip of his nose, and his paws. He'd never use his nails on anyone, ever. If you pushed him too much and he wanted to get away, he'd give you a headbutt and then run away.
His biggest hobbies included running into the room, jump on top of the scratching pole, which would fall over, and run out of the room again. Usually me and my mom would put the scratching pole back in its initial position, and he'd come running back into the room to repeat this until we'd give up. He also loved going outside when it started raining. Except once outside, he'd hide in a shed and keep meowing until someone would come and get him.
Felix was evil incarnate. Completely grey (although his legal documents stated blue, which you could kinda see if he was in direct sunlight), slow and deliberate. He only accepted my mom and nobody else. If I'd come anywhere near him, he'd scratch me without warning. Often in my face.
My mom never really "owned" him either. He was my grandmother's cat. when she moved out of her house, my mom moved in. My grandmother took the cat with her, but every chance he'd get, he'd run away to find his way back to "his" old house. After a while, my mom decided to keep him. Luckily, when we moved out of that house 10 years later, he accepted my mom enough to stay in the new house with her. It wasn't until his final years that he really accepted me and stopped attacking me at every chance.
Both these cats are gone now, sadly. I miss them and will never get another cat because they'll never be like these two.
Besides cats, we've had a few other animals. We never kept them that long. Mostly because the cats wouldn't accept them.
First off, the dwarf parrot. named Widget. Yes, named after that purple cartoon character. Dominant beast that was. Once out of the cage, the living room was his. We had to give him away because he scared me, my mom and the two cats. The new owner would often give us stories about what kind of things that bird did this time. At one point, he learned how to open his cage and constantly terrorize anyone in the house.
I had a rabbit named Nijntje, which is the original Dutch name for Miffy. I later got another rabbit, a female one. Can't remember too much of these two, as I was too young. All i really remember was that on the day I got the second one, my mom was playing Faxanadu on the NES. Apparently they didn't make offspring the way you'd think rabbits would.
I've had several guinea pigs. It started with two and ended up with a special room at my aunts place for all the things. All I remember were the squeaking noises, which stopped being cute when it was so many of them constantly.
I've had several dogs, but the only one that really stands out was Basco who was incredibly loyal. If me or my mom would go out, he'd be in front of the door, waiting for us to return. We ended up putting him away after he "protected" me from my best friend by biting him in the face. Hard.

I can understand what you mean about what wanting any other cats, however when my cats die I will probably get another pair just because the house will feel really empty without them. Unfortunately I probably wont have to wait that long to make that sad choice as both of my cats are very old and one of them, the one who loves me the most, is dangerously underweight and has a weak heart. However it will be good once we get some new kittens.AboveUp said:

That is an amazing photo. Was that just a lucky snapshot of playing with your dogs in the garden/park/freezer or did he try multiple times to get a shot like that? Because if he was trying to get that snapshot then he is an amazing photographer and If not then he is one lucky snapper!Sexual Harassment Panda said:

Probably my favourite.
edit - fixed repeated photo.
I feel the need now to point out that the second and last photos are actually the same image. Also what are the names because they seem really cute.Sexual Harassment Panda said:
Also is just me or is the brown one (I don't know their names yet) faster than the other one because he seems to always to be catching the ball out the air whilst the other looks on in envy.
I have a Jack Russell Terrier.
As for pets I would like to have, either a blue tongued skink, or a crow.

Oh yeh, both the same...whoops. Was supposed to be an image of a monkey on a roof.Rhymenoceros said:
Black and brown one is Ted, black and white one is Poppy. Ted isn't faster, he just stands closer, superior tactics win him first grab at the ball.
I have a cat named Jessie.
She's a Maine Coon and one of the best cats pretty much ever.
Sh'e very sweet and follows you around. She's also friendly to strangers.
