Do any of you have other pets?

I have guinea pigs (about 40) and a ginger kitty called Rosa (or trouble as she's also known)

I have three Beta Fish. 

Three Guinea pigs, one 10 year old rabbit, and also husband keeps Koi :)

I've just got the one dog now - I previously had a rabbit (Rodney) and my sister had several guinea pigs.  Oh and until 18 months ago I did have another dog.

So to actually answer to your question I have no other pets :(

As it says in my signature rats :-) Two shouldhavebeensnakefood Blanche and Rose and I'm on the look out for more

We have 3 cats, a horse, a tortoise, a budgie, a goldfish and of course 3 dogs

Um Um Um
2 Rabbits
1 Cat
1 Hamster
About 30 tropical fish
1 Duckling!!!!!
LMAO
Lea :) :)

Had to rehome my tortoise :(
Sons GF has her as my youngest dog kept trying to!

I had to get a new tortoise table with a wire lid for my tortoise when I found the cat with his head in her mouth!! Fortunately the dogs ignore him when he is on the move but the cat was a bit too close for comfort!

hmm do I admit to this one?
5 chickens
3 cats
200 or so mice,
15 rats
25 snakes plus eggs

rather a lot of chickens & ducks.and an old siamese cat

oh yes...apart from 3 dogs, 18 hens, 7 cockerels and three call ducks. I expect the bird population to expand over the next two weeks--my desperately broody elderly silkie is sat on everyone's eggs and I haven't got the heart to take them off her.

Oh how normal you all sound!  :-)

At long last I can admit that I used to have a pet hen called Jane.

Also had 300 guinea pigs, in thedays when I used to judge/show/breed them.  After 25 years the mucking out became a chore!

Now have a house totally full of dogs, but daren't count them!

All our birds have names, though not sure my friend who gave me the silkie sussex crosses was best pleased when I let slip that they were known in our house as the Pterodactyl sisters. The star of the pen is my tiny golden dutch bantam, who loves a visit and happily climbs on my hand for a treat and flies onto my shoulder if she thinks I'm shortchanging her :). I never trained her to do any of this, she just decided one day that she wanted the contact--lovely.

We had a more interesting menagerie years ago: three beautiful toads, a couple of tanks of palmate newts  I was breeding to release back, Hedgerow, my African Grey and a pair of great water beetles (Dytiscus marginalis).

Now just the dogs and one ancient 'free range' Shetland pony (who thinks he's a dog). Used to have chickens, ducks, quail, geese and goats.

2 dogs and 5 cats (2 British Shorthairs & 3 Selkirk Rex)

I only have my little dog now. It's still so horrible here after having to say goodbye to my dear cat a few weeks ago. One of the reasons I'm pottering about on the computer so early again - I miss him curled up on the bed and then I can't get back to sleep.
I hope to get some chickens eventually and maybe another dog but I can't yet imagine another cat.

2 cats - Big Puss and Mollypops

1 African Grey - Percy (a rescue, age unknown)

1 Rosella - Noel

1 Blue Fronted Amazon (Cocoa - 15 years old)

2 Sun Conures (now sitting on eggs)

Do kids count?? my son & his GF have adopted a 6 year old feral siamese that claws them as soon as looks at them and keeps them cornered upstairs if it wants to be alone?? I kid you not there dead scared of this cat!! Any ideas how then can make friends??

LOL what a scene poor tortoise!!

35 cats 2 guinea pigs 2 rabbits 4 birds

Our Big Puss was like that - he turned up one day, in the bushes (we do not have any neighbours, well only one and they do not have cats), looking very thin and hunched and bedraggled.   We put food out for him for months, gradually he would just sit and watch us from a distance, then after a while when it was decided that he was staying, we tried to catch him to have him neutered, the CPL came out to help, he destroyed their first cage, and second attempt was successful.   After neutering he came back, was let out and did not see him for a fortnight, he then turned up one day in the bushes again, so we started feeding him.   That was 10 years ago, now I can stroke him, worm him, frontline him, all of which would have been impossible in the early days, it took about a year before he would let me stroke him, the first time he came in the house someone shut the door and he went round my dining room like the wall of death.  Now he comes on a walk with the dogs, and walks so close that I trip over him.

The secret is food, patience and time!!

Along with all the dogs we have 6 cats, 1 Persian and her son who is a persian x (I rescued her and kept a kitten) and we have 4 Devon Rex who are the funniest cats ever!

Besides the six dogs,we also have 6 ferrets,with one female expecting anytime soon!

1 big dog  (male, very friendly :) )
1 cat       (female, very anti-social, )
1 rabbit    (male, very friendly  :) )
2 hamsters (1 friendly & very gentle male, named Mr. Wibbles :) , 1 psycho female ) (hamsters are caged seperatley)
Pond fish (koi, golden tench, grass carp & a sterlet) most fish are tame - starting to feed from our hand, but the tench are very shy by nature so they tend to keep to thierselfs.

As you can see, the male mammals in the house are lovely, friendly things, the females are something to avoid!  
I'm sure my hubby would include me in that statement!

> I kid you not there dead scared of this cat!!

I believe it! My cat is not ferral, so does not have that as an excuse for her behaviour. Despite her tiny size, I would honeslty rather face the dog in a bad mood, than the cat. Cats can be very frightening and shockingly quick!
I had to shoo the cat out of the house the other day. She had been scrapping with a tom cat (he dared to come into her garden - wow cats are teritorial!), hyped up from seeing him off, she came inside and attacked me She had dived 6 ft accross the room at my hand, wrapped herself around it and tried to sink her teeth in (she's small, so needs to really try hard to break the skin, she keeps chomping down to try and bite through ), while kicking me with her back feet.
I appreciate it probably was a mixture of fear & adrenaline (from seeing the tom off), but still, she frightened me and I know she will also attack the dog when she's like that (poor thing, he lets her!) so I had to shoo her out untill she had calmed down :(

She was a lovely little kitten, a little play-agressive, but loved a fuss. As she matured, she decided she only likes to be stroked when she wants to be (when she wants feeding, when she wants to sit in your lap and then only a fleeting fuss). Visitors laugh at me, they see the dog and of course notice his huge size and think I am joking when I say 'don't worry about the dog, but whatever you do DON'T go near the CAT'!
She is slowly getting better as we have been working on getting her used to a fuss. If she looks in a tolerant mood, I'll give her a couple of strokes, while prising her. I started off by just gently touchign her quickly and as she gets more tollerant, give more fuss. It's working, but cats are not as easy to bribe as dogs!

good thread :)

6 dogs, 4 moggies, pond fish, a Blue and Gold Macaw, Yellow Fronted Amazon and a Meyers Parrot, and a Chinchilla :)

Not any more.....

Have had 2 cats in past, 4 rats, 7 gerbils, 2 budgies, a hamster, a weevil.... probably missed something off somewhere, LMAO!!

Thanks for your advice its called Jason and they say its a Ninja!!
It followed Sam into his room and cornered him, Sophia will not turn her back on it at all. Im sure the right food and time will make it an excellent guard Ninja!!

Help!! My Siamese could be bad enough if she was in a strop!!

> I'm sat here laughing!  :-) You have a dog as big as a horse, and have to warn folk off the cat!!!!!!!!!!
