Pets

My pet history:

 

Mr. Walker (1987-1988): A grey cat who ran away.

Meggs (1989-1990): A ginger cat who ran away.

Mozart (1991-1995): A gorgeous cat who was bitten by a snake and died.

Buddy (1993 onwards): Half labrador, he is brown. My first real pet which was all mine.

Whiskers (1995): A stray cat we picked up who my father accidentally ran over.

Miss Mo (1996-2002): Our favourite cat, half Persian, suffered from depression and neurotica. Got hit by a car.

Milo (1997-1998): Neighbour's cat who they left with us after they moved away. It clawed away our front door, and we were planning on moving, so we sold it.

Remy (2001-2003): Cat, named after the remote control. I came home one day and found her dead in the driveway after being hit by a car.

Flip (2003 onwards): New cat, she has Tourette's.

 

Plus I've had a few hermit crabs: Shelley, Mishell, etc.

Most recently, I had a little Calico kitten named Misery which was swept up and devoured by coyotes. A shame, really. That kitty was cute.

Has it dawned on you yet to maybe keep your cats inside?...

And your fish get along? Those red-tails and tiger barbs can get mean, especially with prissy neons in the tank.

 

Love to know what your house smells like...

Actually they are in different tanks.

Also my house smells just fine. The dogs don't use the bathroom in the house, I clean the pig cages every week and my mom cleans like a freak like 4 times a week.

Cool.

 

I thought Barbs liked a different kind of water condition than Neons (Neons like the water slightly acidic.)

 

One of my favorite kinds of fish are those other "sharks" -- the blue ones that don't bother anyone and just do their own thing...

My hermit crabs weren't run over, no. They all went into hibernation one winter and didn't come out.

 

One of my cats did last quite a few years and rarely ventured out. The first time she ever went on the road was her last. Though, as I said above, she was suffering from depression, so yeah, it wouldn't suprise me if she was suicidal.

The vet diagnosed the cat with it.

 

It was incredibly neurotic, and any change at all (like, moving a piece of furniture) traumatised it and it would begin urinating blood and would be needed to be taken to the vet. He said it suffered from depression, and I didn't really question his judgement. Though it never seemed particularly happy, until about the last few months before it died.

Damn. When our oldest cat was a kitten she would get upset whenever my better half left for more than a day (went to her parents' house, Rant, not the domestic abuse shelter).

 

Funny thing is right when she would come back home Dessa would then poop on the floor right next to her litterboxes (Vet said it was separation anxiety, but I think it was because she was a little brat). What made it even better is that this was always when I would be leaving for work, so I'd let her know what her cat did as I was leaving the apartment...

Pussy. The best animals are the ones traumatized by spousal abuse.
