If funds allowed I’d have a houseful. We have three cats and a dog. Real animal lovers here

Just one very spoilt rescue cat called Harry. He is such a beautiful boy !

One gorgeous rescue cat called Amie. She relocates to my lap the minute I sit down. I adore her and luckily she adores me

Two cats (I'd have another two if I could afford!) and a corn snake. I could never be without a cat.

None!!

Just one, he has just turned 80, has a lovely head of hair which I stroke and ruffle and is trained to bring me tea and breakfast in bed. He takes himself for a walk and doesn’t spill water, etc on the floor and the bonus is I don’t have to stock pile poo bags.

1 crazy cocker spaniel (working strain) ?, 1 ungrateful unplayful little wretch of a budgie ?, and some fish in our pond (mostly goldfish and shubunkins with 1 golden orfe who looks like he is on his last fins?!) But he is hanging in there. We had 2 but one died a few weeks ago. I do love pets. The house seems so empty without them.

One very lively Aussie shepherd called Jersey (after the chocolate and the island). I would like to have a cat, but in reality one pet is enough.

None.
I don't see the point....

I would love to have a dog (or two, three, four . . . grin ) but with both of us working full time, it's just not feasible

I love cats, but not the "gifts" they bring in, so no cats in this house

I have two beautiful Rottweilers and a little Jack Russell who is an absolute terror...her joy in life is stealing toy's from the Rottie's!

We have 2 rescue cats aged 7 and 15.

We have recently been ‘adopted’ by a stray, who turned up in our garden and stared piteously into our kitchen. He was an un-chipped, un-neutered tom and we took him into our household in December.

We never intended to be a three cat house, but what can you do ... ? ???

Moggycuddler Sat 07-Mar-20 09:39:26

We have 4 lovely cats. The "old one" is 15, and the other 3 are one year old sisters, all rescues.

henetha Sat 07-Mar-20 09:39:44

Just one pet, Wiggy, a cockatiel. She's quite bossy. I would like a cat but she would never allow it.

Janetashbolt Sat 07-Mar-20 09:50:06

Live in a council house, as we had the cat before we moved we were allowed to keep her. Would love a rescue greyhound though

AJKW Sat 07-Mar-20 09:56:49

None, although when I retire I’d like a little Yorkshire terrier.

Foxyferret Sat 07-Mar-20 09:57:16

We have four lovely Labradors, they live in a custom made run in the garden as they are working dogs. We have always had labs and shed many a tear when they go, to think I have this to come at least four more times, but would not be without them.

My eldest daughter has had a cat about 16 yrs,but also keeps getting other various pets,(cats,dogs,Guinea pigs,etc) that don't seem to stay very long?we call her the 'pet- giver away-er'?

rowanflower0 Sat 07-Mar-20 10:19:27

None - I have always had dogs but last one died before I had my stroke - I couldn't cope with one now, but love my sister's.
Also love going away, which is less problematic with no pets.
