Boring pets

DEFTLEFTHAND

I have two boring goldfish myself and they're beautiful little scaley babies with magnificant eyes sticking out of both sides of their head

I've a beautiful 12 year tabby cat at home also who scopes up the two boys at certain times. He wants to get them out and do them over. Him deciding how he will attack the two lads before I stop it is about as exciting it gets for my pets.

I had sea monkeys when I was younger. They weren't that interesting when the novelty wore off.

When the cats decide to take over they will remember their friends. Mine are planning it now.

My brother had a pet tarantula when he was 15. Now there was a boring creature. The thing just sat in its box all day. Even when he'd lob in frozen or dried grasshoppers and stuff to feed it, it just sat there. The odd time it did decide to do anything, it'd usually just slowly creep around the place.

Even the time it "escaped", it was found still in his room, just sitting on his desk, doing nothing.

Same with snakes. Friend of mine had a pet snake. I expected a bit of life out of it, but nope. Just lay there, with the evil eyes and the odd flick of the tongue.

Fish are like a carnival compared to spiders and snakes, to be honest.

Snakes. People who own snakes are weirdos imo. The snakes lie there doing nothing and are creepy as fcuk.

Cue story: "My friends cousin had a snake and it was lieing on the bed beside her" rabble rabble

With my 10 fish they wouldn't know if they were coming or going in that.

Get 10 tanks, imagine the possibilities

Bingo. Snakes are grand out in the jungles or whatever. But I would never want to live under the same roof as one. Inconsiderate bastards from what I've heard.

And yeah, the old urban legend doesn't take long to come racing to the surface, does it? :P

My mate had a little terrapin when we were younger and it disappeared. He told us his dog decided to drink out of the terrapin bowl and somehow swallowed it.

So speculation over terrapingate certainly wasn't boring.

That fish on wheels reminds me of a wasp on a string.

Step 1: Catch a wasp in a jam jar
Step 2: Leave it in the freezer for a few mins to knock the wasp out
Step 3: Tie string around wasp
Step 4: Give the wasp some fresh air, in order to come 2
Step 5: Wasp regains consciousness
Step 6: Bring your new pet wasp for a leisurely walk

I was never a fan of cats. Didn't actively dislike them like some of the posters around here, but never having had in the Von B household as a child - I didn't really care for them.

My girlfriend is a big fan of cats. I got over my initial concerns and eventually agreed to let one share our lives in our apartment. I'm now a complete convert to the joys of our little feline friends. Clean, affectionate and clever animals. Bogart is incredibly friendly and loyal.

I'm very wary now of people who boast about how much they hate cats. Like their complete inability to understand this most complex and beautiful of creatures is somehow a badge of honour.

I still want an Irish Wolfhound though.

They are sly animals and act like rodents, they also eat you when you croak it. Enjoy

Can't believe I'm agreeing with one of your posts. :eek:

There's always been people who hate cats, but in the last few years I'm hearing more and more people about much they hate them and how evil they are. It all seems a bit fake, like it's a bandwagon I can't understand why anyone would care enough to join. It's a fecking animal, get a grip.

I'm a dog person. Always have been. I think cats are fine, too.

But I'm a real dog person. My Siberian Husky, Laika, is one of the most loyal and faithful companions I've ever had. He's getting on a bit now, but he's still as playful, energetic and loving as ever. I look back on some of the photos of him when he was still a tiny little ball of fluff. He used to eat my socks and my runners something terrible. I'd feel like going ballistic, but he's look up at me with those big, blue eyes (with the tongue of my favourite Nikes hanging out of his mouth) and just let out that little whimper that he does so well. And I couldn't stay mad.

I have rats at the moment. All resues or rehomes. Brilliant pets - smart, interactive, trainable, affectionate - just amazing. Their hands are superb, four fingers and a thumb stub. If rats with opposable thumbs were bred, they would take over the world. Despite the stubs, it's fascinating to watch them manipulate things with their hands. I really enjoy them and am very attached. Unfortuantely, they have a short lifespan.

Cats - we have one at home. I am a bit terrified of them. They have that 'do what I say or I'll eat you in your sleep' look about them.

If I had the space right now - it would be dogs - A resuce lurcher (these guys are always needing homes for some reason) and an Irish Water Spaniel.

Cats. They are completely useless, stupid, good for nothing & kill for no reason vermin.

They keep rats and mice away so they have their uses.

Also, cat cuddles and kisses (headbutts) are the best. My cat is a little ball of love and affection

We in the Irish Pigeon Liberation Organisation(IPLO) would like to put it on the record that cats are Public Enemy No.1.

I could have wrote this post.
My Cocker Spaniel is 15 (today!) and since he was 9 weeks old he's given unconditional love and affection to all of us. He's not so healthy anymore but still manages to get around and do most of the things he always did with the exception of long walks and certain foods that have to be excluded.
He still loves his cuddles and short walks and you'll always find someones socks buried in one of his beds around the house!
I got him for my 9th Birthday and I graduated form College a few months ago so he's a piece of me, and us all. To be honest just thinking about that brings it home to me that he may not be with us for a hell of a lot longer.
