i have had alot. my first was a dog named patches. he got hit by a vehicle when i was a kid. then i got my cat sylvester, he was black and white and he was my baby, he slept with me every night, and when he wanted to be held he would crawl up my leg and wrap his arms around my neck, we cuddled all the time, then he got sick, and i had to make the decision to put him down, he was sick for a long time. i still miss him, he was so soft and cuddly and loving, just an amazing cat. after him, i had a cat named toby, i got him as a gift froma friend he was the runt of the litter and he also slept with me all the time, he would sleep inside the back of my night shirt. he was an indoor cat, and he got very fat. he was 13 when i had to put him down to being sick. sylvester was also about 13 years old. then i did not have a cat for awhile. then we got a dog and her name was paisley and she disappeared she was a good dog, she loved me so much and she listened so well and was very smart. we had already moved to the country and i got another cat, boo, and he was killed in june. my poor boo, he had so much character. then after paisley disappeared, we got another dog grizzley, but we found him a new home since he wouldn't stick around the yard, he is a happy towndog now. and now we have 4 dogs, daisy who is a sweet dog, and belle who is nuts, and then creed who is super hyper, and then buster who is just a hyper friendly happy dog. oh yeah i also have 3 cats, two of which are young kittens, one is a manx cat he has no tail, just a puff at his bum, its adorable when he sees the dogs he puffes it up and its hilarious. then we have a normal long tailed kitten who is so crabby allthe time we named him grim. the tailless wonders name is kingston, then their is twilight, who is pure black and the worlds biggest sucky cat ever.

My first kitten was names Furball... she was so black and fluffy. But she got sick with a brain tumor when she was only 6 months old and we had to have her put down.

Then I got Whiskers who was a black and white kitten. She got run over on purpose by some hoons when she was 10 months old. She was sitting on the grass verge waiting to cross the street, and they swerved off the road to hit her. This was witnessed by my neighbors who took Whiskers away and buried her thinking that it was their cat.

Then I got the best cat in the world - Dumpy. She was half burman and half black LOL She was an awesome cat. She had so much personality. When she was 18 she got some lumps and started not being able to care for herself. I loved her so much and it broke my heart asking Greg to take her to be put to sleep. That happened the week after Emmy turned 1. I know I should be over it by now, but she was such a big part of my life before I got married. And I just don't feel ready to get another cat yet.

I've (or at least my family have) had 5 dogs: 4 keeshonds at diff times (2 at a time) and 1 border collie.
First cat was a siamese, then a siamese tabby cross - both my Mums. Then I myself (with ex hubby) had a gorgeous little ginger and white kitten but she got hit by a car :(

I loved my keeshonds, beautiful kind animals!

I was brought up with cats, we had Tina who was a black cat and she died at 18 (so was very old when she passed away) i was 12 at the time.
We also had vinnie he was a black and white cat, he ran away when we moved to invercargill (when i was 12 nearly 13) he ran away down here :(
Then Cleo arrived she was a tortishell cat and we discovered she was pregnant and she ended up giving birth to 4 kittens on my bed lol (3rd form teacher heard all about it the next day hehe) She had two ginger boys, and one tabby girl and one tortishell girl, we gave the boys away and kept the girls.
The girls are at mums place.

And now we have Skye a lab x rotti (whos black and looks lab but is very strong thats from the rotti) shes coming up to 2yrs old. Hubby really wanted a dog and i gave in when i saw them at 5weeks old, i melted they were soo cute.
I still would like to get a cat one day but hubby doesnt like cats
