If all the animal-themed things in your home were real, what animals would you own?

I'd have - several cats, a cheetah, a fox, 3 meerkats, lots of parrots, 2 dgs, 4 elephants, a few garden birds, and a dolphin.

Absolutely nothing in my home is animal themed.

Foxes, mice, owls, hummingbirds, a stork, crows and a rabbit. This is a nice, funny thread. Makes me realise how my home reflects my love of nature.

Frogs and birds. The frogs are a bit of a joke from years ago, but have grown in number, especially the garden decorations. I have told the children and GC to stop giving frogs to Grampa, but they don't listen!

I also have my Jersey cow print in my kitchen which makes me happy. A soft watercolour with flowers around her horns.

A mouse, a giraffe, a frog, four elephants and five octopuses.

A parliament of owls. Ceramic, wooden, metal - not so much furnishings as furniture

A lion, some bears and a sparrow.

Lots and lots of owls, an otter, a dog, a seal and several cats.

I forgot the elephant!

I’d have four squirrels three bears and a dog.

Abnuyc123 Sat 06-Sept-25 19:07:48

Oh and an owl.

An original painting of our daughter’s horse, a flowers with field mice picture, a gorgeous charity shop find of a lady in Arabic dress riding a grey horse across a desert landscape. Indian elephant wall hanging. Our border collie is in many of the family photos displayed.

A camel

Owls and Tigers also.

GrannyGravy13, I LOVE your giraffe!

dustyangel Mon 08-Sept-25 09:19:30

I thought that I hadn’t any at all apart from a Winnie the Pooh clock, (does he count?) but reading this has reminded me that I have a glass beaded gecko inside and a frog in the garden.

I am surprised that some people have so many, where do you put them all?
