    Not sure, but wait till he poos! We had one swimming around with the poo hanging off him for hours, once.

    Currently, we share the house with 5 cats. 2 have been with us for 3 years, 2 kittens we adopted yesterday, and 1 kitten we foster until he can find his forever home :D

    A pug and a jack Russell. We did have five jug puppies for a few months but just the 2 now!!

    I love my dogs, they really helped my depression, I don't know how but just having my pug cuddle me and want a walk really helped get me out of the house and feel better.

    Two cats and a few of the suckler cows could definitely be counted as outdoor pets. One of them always marches straight up to me in the field and wallops her great big head onto my shoulder so I can scratch her neck. She's called Noo Noo after the hoover thing in Teletubbies cause she eats everything, the great big eejit.

    Get the fish out of the bowl and do some research ffs. You'll have the poor thing swimming in **** infested acid soon enough.

    2 dogs. My son has goldfish who are currently "on holiday" ie dead but he doesn't need to know that, I'm going to have to replace them, longest holiday ever at this stage.

    I had to take my goldfish to the vet, as it had epilepsy.

    The vet said it looked all right to him. I said wait until I take it out of the bowl

    Hate dogs would never have one. Sitting around licking their own asshole and sniffing others then they go and lick the owner all friendly like. Cute fcukers.

    Goldfish live 20 - 40 years and grow to nearly a foot in length. Don't keep them in bowls.

    Ah ya but they never live 20-40 years. Their lovely owners usually kill them well in advance.

    Can't really call them pets so if your going to send them off to be shot in the head , hung upside down and bled dry , before being skinned and broken down on an industrialised conveyor belt for consumption , just saying like

    Can't run a farm without knowing they're going for slaughter eventually but you're as well make the best of the time you have with them.

    Got Bobby from a relation who was thinking of putting him down as he was too boisterous around her daughter. Bit of a nuisance as he chases the cattle, he sheds huge quantities of hair for around 3 months in the spring and the fecker has an unreal appetite. Some sort of crossbreed. Loves nothing more than going for a spin.

    Yes, 2 cats. Hopkins is a neutered tom, and Pluck is an adorable and fluffy neutered female. It wasn't my idea to get cats in the first place, but I've grown rather fond of them.

    We had a cat until yesterday. He passed away. Very tough when you become attached. I urge people to consider this before they welcome a new member to the family as they are gone before you know it :(
