We have a dog, but he lives outside and is treated a s dog, not as a child!
I hate to see people treating their animals as babies, I respect my dog for what he is...a dog!
and i respect u for that...some ppl actually treat dogs as something else...there is a category in porn for that..lol...this is what happens when u dun give the dog the respect it deserves and putting it way up...
i have a hamster...its a white sapphire...and i feel very bad for it coz its lonely...when i buy another mate for it, it fights till things get gory...lol...strange creature..i used to be an avid fish keeper for years...since when i was 11...but got sick of my mum constantly overfeeding it and dirtying the tank...love fishes...

I don't have a pet. I have a feline friend I don't consider Squeaky to be owned by me - we both provide each other with mutual love, affection and attention. She isn't something I can purchase and then throw away. Instead, when we chose to adopt her, we made a commitment to take care of her and provide for her for as long as she lives.
In the interest of full disclosure though, I should say that I'm currently wearing this shirt:

You seem to be the number 1 cat fan on the forum . I've had lots of cats in the past, subhanallah each had its own unique identity, one was crazy naughty the other was extremely quite and boring, however none of them survived my mom's strict standards of cleanliness, they all got kicked out .
Maybe you can provide us with a list of the different cat breeds and how to identify one's cat.
I have a dwarf hamster named Fajr and a rabbit named Dixie. And I treat them both as children...specially Faji...but that's how it goes when you live by yourself and all you have is the pet around lol...
Actually I'm really a 'cat person' rather than a 'dog person', and I'm especially fond of Siamese and Burmese, but unfortunately my step-daughter is VERY allergic to cats, so a dog it had to be. He's not so bad as dogs go!

aww, that's too bad. Aside from the shedding, the Squeakster is quite clean. She gives herself a complete bath at least 4 times a day
It's really easy to identify cats - 99 times out of 100, they're just a plain old mutt Here in the US, we call them domestic short hairs (DSH) or domestic long hairs (DLH), depending on how long their coat is.
Many run of the mill, average cats have distinct features of purebreds, but in general (at least in the western cat fancy world, which is what I'm familiar with), unless it's got pedigreed parents (ie you can trace the breed of the ancestors of the cat back quite aways), it's just a plain old cat. Squeaky is a DSH, but that doesn't mean she's any less awesome than a pedigreed cat
There are several cat fancy organizations that define what standards a purebred should hold to. The cats really are gorgeous.

I considered a fish, considering I'm scared of every other living and moving creature besides the human race and ants.
But then to take care of it.. Plus I remember once I Was at my cousin's house and he overfed the fishy.. And it died. right before our eyes too, I think. He told me he flushed it down the toilet or something.
Squeakster and Bambii are absolutely gorgeous mashaAllaah! I adore cats. Once, I adopted a stray kitten. And then one day, it went missing and a few weeks later I found its body on a sidewalk :'( ...haven't had a pet since but I really want another cat.

Awww, I'm sorry that happened to your kitten. I hope you are able to get another one soon insha'Allah.
I have 2 bearded dragons, one kitty and a dagu (hamster like creature).
Never heard of a dagu... Now I'll have to go and research it. lol.

For some reason, goldfish don't tend to live that long. I don't know how to properly care for them besides feeding them so that's why I don't think I'll get one.
