Cat and ferrets live in the house, dogs guard the backyard, rabbits tend the front, chickens and ducks guard the coop sometimes the rooster tries to guard the coop from me I tell him, the big dummy I bring the food.

I don't have any pets at the moment, though I used to have cats, and they were free to roam in and out when the choose to. I had never heard of anyone having inside only cats until I watched Animal planet with that cat guy can't remember his name. I could never keep cats inside all the time. Though when thinking about it, it may depend on where you live I guess.

I do not have any pets of any kind. I do not want ANYTHING I have to feed, cleanup after or take care of.

My wife and I have up to 150 or more animals out side and 40 inside. Our house is only 1000 square feet. We are known appropriately as ladeauzoo.

working dogs outside. corgis inside and outside. One does get in my bed. Cats in and outside. I have to confess I have had an alpaca mom and her newborn inside when it was born outside in 14 degree weather at night.Once warmed and nursing it was back outside.

110 lb dog in house mostly...access to run the fenced half acre several/many times a day in all weather...and walk the town on a leash at times. And a 12 lb pterodactyl cat indoors. ...that's polydactyl...lol

I don't have one but I borrow from my loved ones. And pets know that I am trainable.

I've had my girl longer than any man. Came close to another relationship, but he wouldn't accept that she and I are a package deal. That was the end of that. I could never be with someone who doesn't respect her importance to me. His loss, not mine. I've still got my girl.

My cat tucks me in a night and wakes me in the morning. Her only boundary is not being able to go outside because she does not have front claws to defend herself (I adopted her from a coworker already declawed).

Although I can understand not wanting to have a pet in the house, that is how I feel about dogs mostly because I think they stink.

I feel like I live in a petting zoo. 5 cats, 1 dog, and a guinea pig. Do kids count as pets?

I have a fish tank with 1 bully ???? so am only able to have 2 ???? . I wish I could have a small dog, but no yip-yip dogs. Had a great dog but moved to Florida a while back and gave him back to my ex. Was sad.

You’re not alone ..at least for the time being... I’m currently free of children, pets and a significant other ..and wondering if there was any significance to that order? I prefer clean; cluttered works, but clean should win.. Seems every family member short of my daughters is buried in cat hair … counter-walking cats searching for unprotected food..

Having had two dogs (one at a time), not battling fleas, ticks, dog hair, skunk spray, vomit, spilled bowls, muddy tracks, slobber, carpet stains, porcupine quills, scratched floors and the occasional ‘inside accident’ sometimes leaves me feeling as though I’ve died and got to.. Do miss my fish, though ~

I have no pets but every ones place i go they do! But would love fish as first pet i may and will get soon!!

My buddy Jake

I loooooooooooooooooove cats / do0gs but I can't have them in my dept.

Any inside pets I have would have to be the two-legged, female type.

I used to have a dog, but domesticated pets require more time than a single person is able to give. I won't have another pet unless I eventually have a family, and at the age of 51 that is highly unlikely.

I grew up around dogs, and the amount which they enrich a family is immeasurable.

I don't let the fish on the bed, the dog has a bed in every room and a bean bag by the pool, the Kat has the run of the house, she is a tart and sleeps where she likes on the night, also has her own entrance to her own enclosed jungle.

No pets at the moment, but had plenty all my life otherwise.

I grew up in Haiti and rode my little Haitian mustang stallion, Lightning, constantly. I treated him as a person, as did everyone else, apparently.
Once, someone came to tell me that our mission Bible school's (outdoor, roof-only, raised cement foundation) cafeteria was selling homemade ice cream.

I was riding Lightning at the time (without a saddle or bridle, as usual), so rode straight over there, and up the steep steps onto the cafeteria floor, slid off and started pushing to the front of the crowd to buy a cup of ice cream.

I noticed Lightning's pricked ears nearby..he was also politely pushing through the crowd to the front of the counter, where someone bought him his own cup of ice cream.
When I returned to eat at the long wooden picnic tables with my Haitian friends, someone dumped Lightning's ice cream on the table, where he joined us, delicately licking his off the table top.
Nobody objected, or seemed to notice, or care, that one of the crowd of friends at the table was a horse, LOL!

When we were done, I slipped up on his back again, we rode down the steps and took off again.

Elvira hogging my lap. She left my neighbor to come and live with me on her own accord. I think it was because I treat her like a person.

Tiger-tiger was abused and neglected. After his owners moved and left him behind he started sitting at the edge of my woods watching me and meowing. He was in pathetic shape, but he was too fearful for me to approach. I gradually convinced him I was ok and would not hurt him. He is now a big Tom who loves to hang with me around a campfire and has a place on the bed.

I spent most of my life thinking I was allergic to cats and always had dogs in my younger days. Then I discovered I was allergic to grass and trees, not cats. All the cats I'd been around were outdoor cats. Then this guy came into my life. A friend found him as a tiny kitten near a storm drain after a storm. I give you Hitch (after Hitchens) the lord of all pussydom.

I eat animals. I would never have a pet one. I want to not be tied down being responsible .

I am a cat person but I lost my 16 year old L'l Buddy and just have not found a replacement. Not sure I want to at the moment.

I am owned by 3 border collies and a blue heeler/leopard katahola they let me live in their house and only one insists that I share my bed.

No pets for me, yet
