    From something else I have begun to wonder what pets the people who use this forum have (even if you don't use it you use boards)

    I'm going to add a poll I won't get everything on but I'll try get as much as I can.

    ....?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,462 ✭✭✭Orla K


    ....?

    I'm going to guess that the cat went from indoor to outdoor, I hope. When I saw it first I didn't know what to think either.

    3 dogs, 5 cats, 4 guinea pigs and currently 8 rabbits (but 6 are babies and 5 are going to new homes)

    Guinea pigs should be on the list since they're a great pet :)

    I also have a tamagotchi, a fake tamagotchi, and a furby . . .

    I'm glad all my cats will use a litter tray . . . though I left one shut in the conservatory the other day (not for long) and he pooped on an armchair and buried it in cushions :rolleyes: Luckily my parents were away and I could wash the cushion cover before they got back! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭Pretty_Pistol


    I have a cat, dog and a bird. I'm going to adopt a kitten soon because our cat barely ever comes home lately as she doesn't like the dog. Stuck up little furball she is. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    I love this thread.

    When your animals have toileting and/or socialisation problems, just fuck 'em out like worn out shoes, and get new ones.

    Genius.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭Pretty_Pistol


    Gotta love the holier than thou animal brigade that jump straight to conclusions. :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,534 ✭✭✭morganafay


    My friend's housemate's cat kept peeing on their couch . . . so they threw out the couch! :D (The poor landlord)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,534 ✭✭✭morganafay


    Well yeah cats will often just find new homes if they don't like something at home . . . the only thing to stop them is to shut them inside. And that's not always possible or might not be fair to the cat . . .
