I have three - Sniper (a major bird catcher, squirrel eater, and a mouse's nightmare!), Kimber (a huge furball that sheds on everything!), and Varget (a beautiful siamese that is the sweetest kitty I've ever owned.)
We used to have a Magnum (got hit by a speeding mercedes), and a Winchester (stolen by a kid at a neighbor's garage sale).
I also have two turtles - Smith and Wesson. They keep the cats occupied... staring at their tank! (We also have a bunch of feeder fish that the turtles refuse to eat so they kinda are "pets".)

I have two cats, aage 5. They love to spread out on the cutting table when I am trying to cut. I always check with new students to make sure they aren't afarid or allergic to cats. Emmy will jump in anyones lap. Reggie is a little more reserved. They will hide if you come into the house, but in the sewing studio they will come visit. Funny cats.

No cats here. Scared to death of them like some are afraid of snakes, etc. After a cat bit me on the arm & wouldn't let go, clinging to my arm for over 5 minutes...I am scared of any cat.
Had 2 many years ago...a gray one we called 'Ghost' & a huge tomcat named 'Butterscotch' (Butter) we called him.
NOW only 2 dogs, a beagle named 'Rebel' & a Lab/boxer named 'Hi-Dee' she is my retriever of slippers, remote, or anything else I drop.
Oh, I have a part-timer fat beagle named 'Chuey' that is living with us as well as my daughter & her twins. He sleeps all day & enjoys living with us!

We have two kitties here, and we are babysitting a grandkitty for a few weeks until DD moves into her apartment. One of ours is a "Garfied" type of cat (chub and all), except that he has white paw, a white bib, and no kidding, white "tightie whities"! Our other kitty is an Egyptian Mau, and she sleeps with me every night, often in my arms.
