[ezmo]

[Blondie]

Just a cat here, but can i include all the mice he brings home?

[ezmo]

if they are still alive, i dont think dead pets count.

my cats have just started bringing in rabits, they are so cute when they havnt got their heads chewed off.

[Blondie]

Eww, rabbits?!?! Poor things.

The mice are alive when he brings them home, but not for long, guess that don't count

a degus is a cross beween a squirrel and something, can't remember now. but it's basicxally a desert rat. thought we had two females but actually had a male and female, so then came along the babies... which escaped and now there is a huge family living under the pear tree.

Aww - I love pets.

We had four cats at one point. Lovely.

Zac is such a good name for a cat. It used to lick the jelly off the cat food and then walk off.
