This is my kitty Tesla. The pic is one year old, so she's not so kitten anymore, but still adorable. She also doesn't really fit in that basket anymore, but still stuffs herself into it for naps.

Ha! You mean you can't gather them in one room all at once? 

Getting cats together is like herding atheists.

This is MC. Master Chief

She was a stray kitten that showed up at my door during a Halo 2 LAN party at my apartment one night and I decided to keep her.  Turns out she was from a litter that some jerk just put in a box and left on the sidewalk up the street for people to take.

I didnt realize she was female until after she was already responding to MC, otherwise I would have probably named her Cortana.

This is Gabby.  I bought him as a hand-fed baby 22 years ago.

All the kittens dad is this huge muscular black and white tomcat with all these scars. We feed him outside. He scratched the back of my leg tonight - I was going inside and he wanted me to stay out with him. He rubs against me and rolls around near me.

...22 years ago!?

How long do parrots typically live? I'm used to pets having half a dozen years of lifespan at best.

I like that pic Sarah, ahh them water companions .... I like water.

 Thanks! I love the little guys. They never cease to entertain me. They like to bask balanced with one on top of the other like that. It cracks me up! 

I have a tri-color CKCS pup. She is now nearly nine months old. She loves everyone she meets and she likes to chase rabbits and squirrels.

Heheh !     Don't have Adobe, just Corel and I don't mess with much of it... I'm very slow in learning photo stuff and usually have to have an assist from a ladyfriend or other... I just started using Photobucket with posting those two pix.

I know.... I should, shouldn't I.

And at one time I did. I've also had a dog like the one Renee has as well as a Border Collie and other mixed breed dogs when I was a kid and then a teen. I couldn't have a Dalmatian now though, as my apartment is small, so I ended up taking the *toy dog* route. Cavaliers make great companions although I would not recommend if a person is looking for a ferocious guard dog!

red-ear sliders if im not mistaken... had a pair myself... once upon a time

I'm aware he was a transcendentalist, yet the words of Henry David Thoreau are often some of my favorite writings; just to share a couple....

"The very dogs and cats incline to affection in their relation to man. It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being. What bond is it relates us to any animal we keep in the house but the bond of affection? In a degree, we grow to love one another."

"The very dogs that sullenly bay at the moon from farmyards in these nights, excite more heroism in our breasts than all the civil exhortations or war sermons of the age."

zOMG everyone's pets are SO ADORABLE.

This is Lucky. He's floppy, insane and can jump 5-6 foot fences to chase down a deer. My dad got a present for father's day in this picture and put the bow on his neck. He drools, dances, chases his tail and drives my other dog crazy.

This is Lucky laying on his favorite spot: namely, the window seat we try to fix every few months after he takes a nap on there even though he's not supposed to. He likes to do this when we're gone and then pretend the fur on the seat isn't his.

This is me and Lucy...

Lucy is the cutest, cuddliest, most adorable German Shepherd in the world. She purrs, meows and is slightly senile. You need Lucy in your life. She also likes to bark at the deer, growl at Lucky and sleep.

Wow, these pictures are from like 2 years ago....

Here's a more recent picture of the puppies...

Lucky enjoying the nice weather (he's fatter here haha)...

Lucky likes to rape my boyfriend...

This is my boyfriend's gigantic white rabbit Ocher who spends all day eating, bouncing around and acting cute...
