I have a 13-year-old, all black cat.
He is the world-famous "Burglar Shredder" after an incident when he was younger. The police were both grateful and amused. :D
His name is Festus, and he can also speak three words in perfect English:
"Me!"
"Now!"
"Mamma?"

I have a 17 year old Tortishell cat named Brandy with mega-health problems. We have to bring her to the vet every week for fluids. But she is still going very strong concidering.
The "baby" is a two year old beautiful calico named Electra. Her nickname is "Squeeky" because she doesn't meow, she squeeks. It is so funny to hear her.
Then there is our "guest." We are never too sure if he is actually ours or not. He is black and fat. His "mother" named him Andromeda-yes, we know it is a female name. We call him Andy. (Yes, Andy and Brandy-it does get confusing at times) When we asked why she named him Andromeda, the answer we got was "He looks like a galaxy." ???
All three are very happy kitties. You just look at them and they start purring. Andy and Brandy don't exactly get along. When Andy came to stay with us, there were some knock-down-drag-out fights. Now, they basically egnore each other.

I have a "Mexican Yapper", aka a Chihuaha. :D
She is like my little 4-legged shadow, possibly the most attached and affectionate pet I have ever seen.
She is 8 yrs old, and all of 5 lbs. To describe her: think of the Taco Bell dog, but only fatter and with big white and brown spots.

Unfortunately dogs aren't at the top of my favourites list, as I live in a neighborhood where everyone else but me has one yet they never come out to see why they are barking.... >:(
So if I had a dog I suspect it would be called "Shut up or else"...
All the neighbours dogs I have named Shut the hell up.... :'( :'( :'( :'(

We have a black english cocker spaniel called Jasmine Ebony Joy and a goldfish called Fungus. The dog up the road is called John. For some reason this always cracks me up! :D
Subject: Re: wHAT KIND OF PET DO YOU HAVE ??
Well, I have quite a few pets actually...
Sandy, my Terrier mix is 11 years old and behaves absolutely perfectly.
Namarie, is my 18 month old Silver Tabby Maine Coone. She was brought into the clinic by her owners with a severly broken left front leg (their dog had attacted her). They wanted to put her to sleep rather then spend the money to amputate the leg. So, I took her, had the amputation done and kept her! She was only 3 months old at the time so she got used to it and missing a leg doesn't affect her in the least.
Anduin, my new miracle kitty (about 10 weeks old). She was brought into the clinic by an Animal Control officer. It had been a cold, rainy day and she had gotten too cold. She was by all means dead when we got her. But, we warmed her up and gave her IV dex anyway and she revived! I sat with her for hours, giving her more dex and keeping her warm. That night I took her home and well, she's still here and she's staying. Unfortunatly since she had severe hypothermia and didn't get her mother's milk long enough (she was only about 3 weeks old at the time... spent a week bottle feeding her every two hours, that was a long week), she's going to have lots of medical problems. Already it's been tough, she's been sick a lot, big strain on the pocketbook, but she's worth it.
Both my cats don't care for anyone but me, lol. Namarie has never let another person hear her purr except for me and Anduin won't let me out of her sight, she follows me like shes attached by a rope.
Sergio, MiMi, and Butler are 3 cats that my be calling my house 'home' soon.
And then, of course, there are my Caribbean Land Hermit Crabs...
Scurvy Dog, Hempen, Tortuga, Balinger, Scuttle, Scallywag, Buccaneer, Fathom, Corsair, Schooner, Cartouche, Jolly Roger, Gabion, Moidore, Galleon, Cog, Langrange, Mizzen, Doubloon, Marque, Pillage, Keelhaul, Salmagundi, Pirate, Gibbet, Hornswaggle, Barbary, Matey, Tiller, Jib, Bulwark, and Sedgewick.
Subject: Re: wHAT KIND OF PET DO YOU HAVE ??
We've just, hopefully very briefly, got a bird that's either a large budgie or a small parakeet - it's very pretty, and was sitting in our garden this morning.
It's also completely tame: it wasn't at all ruffled when I picked it up, and preferred to stay on me when I tried to put it down... as it happens, we have an aviary in the garden (left by the previous owner), so it's there at the moment until we've spoken to RSPCA/RSPB or whoever a stray pet bird might be reported to.

Subject: Re: wHAT KIND OF PET DO YOU HAVE ??
Philbo
Since it sounds like you've got somewhere safe to keep why not just advertise in the local press/shop windows etc. Otherwise phone the RSPCA and they'll come and pick it up from you.
Subject: Re: wHAT KIND OF PET DO YOU HAVE ??
Whatever you do Philbo, don't let the kids give it a name or you'll have to keep it!

:'( :'(Sorry to hear that. Tika and I send you condolences,and Tika sends you meows and purrs to help you feel better. My first cat,Sylvester,was 14 years old when he passed on. It was sad,but he is out of his misery,and I look back on my time with him fondly. :)

:oI used to keep land hermit crabs as pets. At one time I had seventeen of them in two tanks.My favorite one was a little green-legged one named after Donald"Moneybags"Trump ::). I also had a fist-sized one named Big Guy. Big Guy was really gentle for his large size,and liked to be held in my hand. But the smaller crabs live longer,and Big Guy died of natural causes. :'(

We have four Guinea pigs - Morty (3 1/2 years), Mocha (almost 3 years), Napoleon (2 1/2 years), and Truffles (2 months). They're our little squeaking babies. :D
Our thoughts are with Latté, who passed on June 11, 2002 at just 8 months, and with Pepé Le Peu who passed on September 29 at 2 years old. :'(

I read recently that over half of all pet owners name their pets with humans names. 20% are names based on appearance or personality.
From 2000
Top US male dog names were: Max, Jake, Buddy, Bailey and Sam.
Top US female dog names were: Maggie, Molly, Lady, Sadie and Lucy.
Top US male cats names were:Max, Sam, Simba, Charlie and
Oliver.
Top US female cats names were:Sassy, Misty, Princess, Samantha and Lucy.
I have a 10 yr. old female yorkie/cocker mix named Jordan and a 1 yr. old male stray kitty named Leo. They actually have 4 names each but we won't go into all that.

My Applied Biology teacher,Mr. Geoffrey Young, had these live creatures in his classroom(warning-this list is not for the squeamish!)
A Texas Brown tarantula named Pearl,who was extremely docile and NEVER bit anyone! I used to put her on my hand,and she would just sit there.She seemed to like the attention people gave her.
A gentle Black Rat snake named Starsky. He was the first snake I ever held,I was terrified of snakes until I met him. Starsky was wild-caught by a student,and Mr. Young kept the serpent and nursed him back to health. This dapper snake liked to be handled,and we students would put him around our neck,where he would hang out while we were doing classwork.
a non-poisonous water snake
Pirhanas
a very pretty Boa Constrictor named Gertrude,who was also rather friendly towards people.
several Northern Garter snakes
3 Rough Green snakes that liked to twine around my hand
a ringneck snake
Mice to feed Starsky and Gertrude
Crickets for Pearl :-*
