lauth81 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Cats are not owned, cats have personal assistants/employees. I was one for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinated Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have 2 cats, 2 rabbits, a degu, and a pond in my yard full of various types of fish and a turtle. We always end up with strays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v22TTC Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Most cats are gorgeous but EricJ, yours is beautiful! In just over a week I'll be able to draw, paint, write and sculpt in peace and there's a cat who darts in every time the front door's open, for food, stroking and to pinch the big, comfy chair the moment anyone's arse leaves it! She's great - looks very much like Hinton's cat, Monroe. I'm holding out for a monkey.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterdita Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I have the sneakiest kitty ever named Nala She'll get jealous during one of my projects and come "help me" by crashing everything and laying down in the center. My 72 gallon salt water tank This is a really old pic and there's a lot more rock and corals in there now. It’s not that bad to manage, but I designed the filtering/timing/salinity balancing process to be pretty automated so I really don't mess with it to mush other than water changes and feeding. It has a whole refugium system underneath, that grows macro algae to eat the nitrates and filter waste naturally and completely sustainably, just a linen bag to catch debris. I only have 5 tiny fish in that big tank, 3 damsels and a pair of Penguins that hosted to this cool frogspawn colony right in front, I love it. I get lost watching all the hermits and crabs picking around and the fish jumping in and out of the current, its so relaxing. My fish will sometimes tease my cat and she sits there for hours swatting the glass @EricJ- funny that you say its harder to keep your plants alive than the fish, for me, the corals are much hardier than the fish. Do your shrimp molt? mine do and every time they do I think one of them died because the shell is so perfect. Here's a pic of my brittle star and a star polyp colony, and dirty glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draykin Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I have 2 cats and a ferrit right now... I had 2 ferrits but my little male died this summer. With the rescue work for the SPCA I grew up with over 200 dogs through the house.... I have a 75gal tank...all the fish died when my place got so hot in the summer that it boiled the water! We would put ice bottles in the water a few times a day but it wasnt enough. I havent decided what to replace them with yet. I will find some photos to post. For now I have these photos of my fuzzies. Frost - past away Aug. 31/08 Luna...terror of Orange Tabbys!!:vb_devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draykin Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey Eric how did you get that shot of you shrimp? I tried to shoot my fish once and it just didnt work out. Thanx Chameleon, I have a friend in the Bully rescue I photograph for that named all her dogs after LOTR characters too. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moavoamoatu Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You forgot rats !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You also forgot Tarantulas and other arachnids. I know people also keep scorpions. For the longest time I had a tarantula as a "pet" Not the cuddliest thing to have but interesting none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 For the longest time I had a tarantula as a "pet" Not the cuddliest thing to have but interesting none the less. So did I; his name was "Snurt". I've often thought about getting another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I just put up what Wikipedia listed as the top 10 pets, I admit I missed some, but you can just know that if you have a pet not listed here...you're living on the fringes of society As for taking photos of aquariums...it's HARD, that's for sure, I still struggle with it, honestly, I sort of got lucky getting a completely in focus shot of the shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 We have a cat and a dog. We saw a really cool R2D2 aquarium that got us thinking about fish recently, but generally we're probably too lazy to keep anything that requires a cage or tank. I took pictures on a couple of visits to public aquariums, one that allowed use of the flash and one that didn't. The pics with flash turned out loads better. They weren't all in focus, but far more of them were. I don't have pics of the pets up anywhere on the web, so I guess I can't show off my furry friends.

Moavoamoatu Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Here we go : a cat, a dog, 3 fishes, a wife and.......a rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Here we go : a cat, a dog, 3 fishes, a wife and.......a rat. Does the wife know she is listed as a pet? And after the cat, dog and the fish? Sounds like you may be in the rat house if she ever finds out how low she is on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
