Fields Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Pets are rubbish. They're a complete waste of everyone's time, effort and money, and they serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Especially cats, I fucking hate cats. Horrible little things, they are. If I catch one pissing in my garden again I'll be tempted to shoot the bastard. :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I currently have no pets but in the past have had a dog called Sally, a pond full of different fish, a Canary called Peter, a Cockatiel called Magic (yes after timmy mallets one) and a budgie called Charlie. I also had a hampster called Pheobe but she died after only 2 years Magic was my favourite. He was so tammed it was unreal. Used to fly around the house, sit on my shoulder and walk all over me and just kinda used to hang out with me all day. Soon as I used to come home from school you could hear him whistling like mad then when he saw me used to fly straight to me and nibble on my ear He used to love eating crisps and was very close to speaking!!. Loved that bird, was well upset when he died. he looked like this: Cute eh? awww Magic I miss you Aww your cockatiel sounds great, I had a budgie like that a few years ago but he died after only 6 months I was heart broken. I had a cockatiel too called Bart, he wasn't very friendly he always used to hiss at us if we went near the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 All our cats are female and they still pee everywhere. =/ Really? In my experience with cats, all the male cats that were aloud inside would spray the place to mark territory, on the other side the femiles would just bother us to let them go outside, or if you had a litter box they would instinctively choose that to do their needs. Maybe their incontinent. And I didn't know stick bugs were such a common pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoogleViper Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 If you get a pet I'd say get at least two. That way they'll have company and will demand your time less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their incontinent. And I didn't know stick bugs were such a common pet. I don't know, they have a litter box in the garage, where they eat and sleep, but they just seem to prefer to poop and pee everywhere else. I don't know if it's a territory thing or if they're incontinent. The oldest one might be, but I doubt the younger ones could be incontinent. And they're all neutered too. And I only got stick insects through school. Tiny green thin ones from a teacher and two bigger brown ones from someone in my class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4q2 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Cats are fantastic creatures....intelligent, independent, and damn amusing at times. I have had 6 in my lifetime (4 were at the same time as the mother abandoned them in our yard). Such is my adoration for Cats that if I ever saw or caught a person trying to harm a cat, I would most likely neuter them. (and I have had a good day).

gaggle64 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'd adore a huskie-dog, but I'd to live somewhere really open as they need a ferocious amount of exercise. I once saw a pure white, albino huskie in an amusements arcade near Sunderland, it was an amazingly beautiful creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyellowbloke Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 My current pets: Meggy. She is totally manic and what we like to call violently affectionate. In the mornings she'll run up wagging her tail and smack you in the face. She'll also run after balls, crows or just round in circles, going with her herding instinct, and loves gale force winds and the sea. Unfortunately though she's getting old now and has developed diabetes which has meant she's gone blind, but she'll still run around like a lunatic meaning she quite often hits objects and people in her way. Dillan, Meg's son. He is ridiculously affectionate and a massive attention whore. If he recognises you he will leap around and roll on the ground whimpering until he gets attention. He's a massive coward and a bit of a wimp. It took us ages to get him to swim, now he loves it. He's also a bit of an idiot, for example when he was born rather then going towards Meg for food and warmth, he instead went directly away from her and smacked into a wall. Finally, the cat. He spends most of his day either sleeping or roaming outside. He does come in at night though to sit and watch telly with us on the couch. He also has a really weird love/hate relationship with Meg.

Atomic Boo Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 This thread has made me want a pet even more now, everyone seems really pleased with their pets and they'd miss them badly if they went away. I feel that ive left it quite late in my family situation and go away fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 My pets are as follows.... Tara: 8 year old Springer Spaniel The older of the two dogs and so she's the boss - will tell Jazz off if she gets out, etc! Has settled down a lot now but will still have her mad moments. Jazz: 4 year old Springer Spaniel She's made, always charging about the place and gets excited over the stupidest things - way to much energy to burn. She is also scared of anything that makes a strange news, eg. the phone! Ike: 6 year old cat... dunno what breed! He used to be quite unfriendly but recently has changed and will often come into my room and lie and my chair purring away. He also has awesome play fights with Jazz which are hilarious to watch. The fact that he is still alive is apparently a miracle because he was given a maximum of 6 months left by the vet.... over 18 motnhs ago! Goldie: 24 (roughly) year old pony Despite his age this thing still goes bloody well... that was until he tore ligaments in his leg whilst at the beach one day. Now he can't be ridden for at least a year and has to have shockwave therapy! Merlin: 12 year old horse This is the horse that I ride - he is the boss and wont take any shit from the rest of them! Very friendly, although due to poor eyesight he gets scared of stupid things! Cameron: 5 year old pony The youngster of the group. He is one hell of cheeky fucker but also very funny. Took off whilst I was in the middle of getting on him a few weeks ago, someone else was holding the reigns meaning I had nothing to hold on too. Needless to say I was on the ground gasping for air a few seconds later! Well that's the lot of them. If I was to recommend one then it would definitely have to be a dog - best companions in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Very nice . I've been riding for years, but we don't have a horse , me want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Aww your cockatiel sounds great, I had a budgie like that a few years ago but he died after only 6 months I was heart broken. I had a cockatiel too called Bart, he wasn't very friendly he always used to hiss at us if we went near the cage. Awww. I think Magic was so good with me cos I trained him from when he was young. At first he was scared and used to bite and fly away but I kept on trying with him. The simple thing I did was rub my finger on his belly and eventually he got used to that and then used to jump on my finger and sit on it. Then I got onto stroking his back and tickling his head which he loved. So yeah I think they then begin to realise they can trust you and are a friend and thats why he used to just come to me all the time and walk all over me. If I was standing up and he was walking around the floor, he used to climb up my leg and body to get to my shoulder then settle down to go to sleep. Was well funny. Wish he was here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow, I would not have pictured you as a rider Bardy boy! We're looking to get another one (that would actually be mine) that my mum can also ride since Goldie's gonna be out for about a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 re: smelly cats. I don't know how we managed it back in the day, but we somehow managed to make our cats adopt the great outdoors as their proverbial litter box. Now they just sit around and act awesome all the time, as cats do. cool thing with my cats is I've really earned their trust- they dislike strangers and they go batshit when I get home from uni or holiday. It's great ot know I've been missed. Especially when my psycho/ comedy gold cat Elvis gets his affection on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he was here now Bart wasn't actually that bad, he would come on your finger sometimes but it did take some work. Here's a pic of him with me (many years ago!): My budgies now aren't really bothered about us because they have each other. They will come on your hand or shoulder, but only if you go to them they wont fly to us. One of them does fly to the remote control though, they love biting it.

Zell Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've had five cats in my lifetime. I have two now, I'll go take a pic of one if they're not terrorising the neighbourhood. Oh and I've also had a budgey and several dead goldfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've been thinking about them recently too but I know I can't have one when I've already got 2 budgies. If you've got time for one go for it, I really like the yellow faced ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
