Wondering what Cascaders have pets here? What are they like? Here are mine:
An old male housecat named Gizmo. Still pretty active for being old, he brings in dead animals through the dog door. Also managed to climb onto the second story of our house when we were working on the addition a year ago.
A Cornish Rex (rare curly haired cat) female cat named Mercury, we found her in a barn we were tearing down 3 years ago. She's not the prettiest but very affectionate and mouthy also.
A big goofy Golden Retriever named Allie. she's also very affectionate and loves to kiss and sit on the couch. She's about 5 and very red. Has a welt under both of her eyes due to my step-mom's dog getting very rough with her on the beach and slamming her head into some rocks.
So anybody else have pets?

A 14-year old black-and-white cat named Topper. And I'm afraid we're gonna have to put him to sleep pretty soon. He's acting very, very old. My dad also has a lot of fishes in two separate aquariums (one for small fishes and the other for bigger ones that would prey on the smaller fishes). He's been taking care of these fishes for well over three years and most of them are alive, so it's pretty amazing. I couldn't even keep one fish alive for more than two months

A seven year old black lab named Casey. Very playful and affectionate, but dumb as a box of rocks.
Also a female barn cat named Tubby who's at least 10 years old but may be older.

I have no pictures of Tubby but I have some of my last cats, Boris and Natasha, who unfortunately I had to give away before moving out here to Colorado. They were beautiful.

I have a five year old sweet cat, called Spliff. She is very dark and has an evil look on her face. She is a bit of a nutcase, but hey who blames her, I love her anyways

cats are animals with their own minds, which most of the time can be quite a nutcase as u said. & also as how u put it; we love them anyway.
right now i have 4 adult cats; 2 males (orange, white) & 2 females (white). also 2 kittens (many-coloured, white).
used to have many orange-coloured cats, mostly males (brothers) but their male instincts (plus hormones too!) got the better of them & all i have left of 5 is just 1.
funny that i don't name my cats; i just call each of them with variations of meows. ;D

Phil, what fish are those? *very interested* Ummm. Two angelfishes (big 'uns too, one black-veil tail, and the other a silver lace), five black ruby barbs, four yo-yos, four corydoras, one red-tailed shark... He also used to have a lot of guppies living in the aquarium reserved for the "small fishes", but they never live very long.

Heh, while I DON'T have a lot of cats (just one) I need to add that I live right next to a huge white house with a backyard, and about 4 cats and around 10-12 kittens live in the backyard (usually sleeping under the stairs leading to the back door of the white house ). I can see everything from my room window and it's pretty cool just to watch the kittens play around in the mornings. Like I am doing right now, lol.
My own cat's too old to play right now, it's sad... And I also can't even let him outside - he's still got scratches on his neck probably resulting from a tussle with the mother cat. They don't like him much (probably because he's a STRANGE cat, it must be said).

Put me in the cat lover column also. You say your cats are weird? Gizmo rolled in some blue chalk powder at least once a week until we demolished our barn. That earned him the nickname Kitty Beast. Funny as heck unfortunately we don't have pictures of Gizmo in his blue furred glory. I also vaguely remember my step-mom saying that Gizmo jumped out of a second story window the day she got him.

My cat has always acted more like a puppy. But lately now that he's old, he's definitely letting the cat in him take over.

I'm a dog guy, myself. Cats can kiss my ass. Never liked them. Anyway, I'm sure I have the "which of these things is not like the other" pets here: the wife and I have 4 fancy mice as pets. One buck--his name is Kirby, he's going on 2 years old (most mice live 1-1 1/2 years), and three does--Cinnacaraminnamel (three nieces wanted to name her, one picked cinnamon, two picked caramel, so we merged the names for fun. we call her "Cinna" for short), Snowball and Peanut are the other two. The girls live separately from their "brother," just to make sure there's no monkey business--we don't need baby mice--but they get to see each other when we put them in their runabout balls and set them all loose on the living room. It's like a demolition derby in there with four of those balls going at once. So, yeah. We're weird. Wanna make somethin' of it?
