Pets - the animal companions that add another facet of friendship and responsibility to our lives. Sometimes they calm us and sometimes they make us question why we have them at all. Regardless of circumstance, pets are a major part of life for their owners and caretakers, and to many they are an extension of family where there is nobody else.
What sort of pets do you have? What sort of pets have you always wanted, but were beyond your reach for whatever reason? Are they merely friends to you, or are they closer than that? What animals are your favorite as pets?
I've grown up with cats in the house. From the time I was born to present day there have always been felines beside me. Whether they bit, clawed, or otherwise maimed me, they were always my friends and part of the family. We currently have four cats residing here, and they are my favorite animal companion. Sure, I've wanted other animals - rabbits, ferrets, and mice at one point or another - but cats will always hold a place with me, whether they're mine or not.

Since I was little I grew up with at least one cat. When I was born my parents had a cat and a big Rottweiler. Cats are by far the most pleasant animals but can be pretty nerve wrecking. The fat my parents had, Oscar was so sweet. If I cried he'd sit beside me and lick my hands and such. But when I was six, he had died, and of course you're six, so my parents lied and said be was walking around the house and hiding. I didn't believe a word they said, he was diabetic and had tongue cancer and was in bed, couldn't move a muscle. Except the last night, I remember feeling he was going to die, and I fought with my mother about staying with him. But it was traumatizing for a six year old she felt. Then on a sweet tooth I was asking for ice cream and she said no, I would get diabetes and said that's how Oscar died in one of her outbursts, I was so pisses with her and broke into tears and ignored her and my father for a week for lying to me. I mean, regardless, how many years will you keep the lie for? He was seventeen, of course he will die, be honest. I then got my newest cat right after Oscars death news came out. He is Tomtom, now he is 8 years old and just so cute and cuddley, yet meows pretty loud when he wants me to bringhim upstairs to cuddle, he's too lazy to walk. We had just recently lost him for thirty minutes, and we call him a thirty minute hobo. He hurts himself slightly, ended up on the neighbours doorstep. I also had my dog, I LOVE Rottweilers. Those prissy little bark dogs annoy me. I love the roughness of a big dog as well. She was my first and last dog. She died when I was 7 and she was 13, of a seizure, it might've been a brain tumour. Fast forward seven years, last year my parents found a Siamese outside and took him in, we got him checked, no one owned him, no microchipping, we kept him. He is now a year and A half. Just today I was up in my parents room, and they have a bay window, this is the second floor, anyways, the window is open and we have a special screen to block out things from coming in and going out. It's metal, so you have to be pretty tough to move it, he moved it, and the part where the window is attached he got stuck in, thank goodness, he would have fallen to the ground outside from the second floor. I had a heart attack seeing him like that and quickly took him and blocked off any cats from coming into their room. I was putting laundry away and just dropped everything to the floor. I have to redo the laundry now. I can't believe someone would throw out a Siamese though. His bleu eyes are beautiful. He also licks my face when I cry, he also flirts with me in his cat way. Pretty obnoxious too. Ahahah. His name is Laurel or Kitkat. I then got my first girl cat, Magella, she's crabby, she is independent though, can be sweet and licks you when you cry, she will be a year next month. Then we got another one, we think she's Sokoke, we named her Sally or Lucille, and she will be a year soon too. She loves my sister to death. Can't stand not seeing my sister, she clings to her. Hahah. Cats for me are family. I never really had one of those loving families. My parents are okay. My uncles and grandmothers weren't really there. I don't have any grandparents anymore. My uncles are all after money and stuff, and their psycho. And my fathers side is far away in Asia. Cats make me feel better. I also have guinea pigs, but their boring, I love my cats and would love dogs.
